    Here is a video that provides a compelling reason to consume beef, even if was not from grass fed cattle, instead of poultry and pork from livestock which were raised on a diet of corn and soy:

    End of Dual citizenship for US passport holders?

    I don't think that US citizenship has ever been a condition of recieving them, so renouncing US citizenship should not constitute grounds for losing Social Security benefits, whichin the past have been, and are currently being paid to millions of non-citzens.

    Entry to Argentina - October 2025 - Nomad Visa - Duty Free

    It's been almost twenty years since I began the temporary to permanent residency process, but, at least at that time, it was possible to have both of the notarized letters, one by a US attorney (confirming the origin of the source of my passive foriegn income) and the other by an officer at my...

    Avidly searching for jeans

    If you need size 34 x 34 and like Diesel and Lucky Jeans, as well as Levis 501, 505, and cords, let me know. I brought two suitcases full of them when I returned from m6 last trip to the USA and hardly had the chance to wear most of them before slimming down to size 32.

    Avidly searching for jeans

    What style (chupin/skinny, recto/straight) do you prefer and what size usually fits the best? The "best" jeans I've bought in Argentina in the past five years have been Levis 519...

    Argentina v Chile v Uruguay for rural small town living

    If I was renting, and was "willing" to pay $450 per month rent for the house I live in, that would double my cost of living (at today's prices). Assuming only a five percent return in an annuity in the USA on the "dormant investment capital" would have resulted in a "wash" with no growth in the...

    Citizenship requirements

    The question then, that remains to be answered is if the government is actually going to offer "irrevokabl Argentine citizenship" for an investment of $500,000USD. PS: i wonder if the government will revoke the passport after the investor loses all of their investment in a country with an...

    Citizenship requirements

    If the Golden Visa comes with an Argentine passport in return for an "nvestment of $500,000USD, why should those who can afford to buy one care if it's called citizenship? Perhaps the information in this article is inaccurate, but I got the impression that "citizenship" by investment is just...

    Argentina v Chile v Uruguay for rural small town living

    What factors presently make Argentina (presumably Capital Federal) more expensive than Spain? Excluding rent and meals in restaurants, both of which for me are zero, my monthly cost of living is presently $450, almost exactly half of which I spend on everything that I eat and drink. The other...

    Citizenship requirements

    Which countries (if any) actually require the physical presence of their citizens who are "collecting" apostilled documents required by Argentine migraciones? I applied for and renewed temporary residency three times from 2006 to 2009 and citizenship in 2012. I never had to leave Argentina...

    New Immigration Agency

    PS: as the new force will be stationed at the border entry points, it's goiing to be more likely than ever that expats with previous overstays will get closer scrutiny when they try to enter. The new force may not share the generally afable attitude of the old one.

    New Immigration Agency

    Announced and reported in 5he B.A. Times this afternoon: https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/bullrich-ploughs-cash-into-immigration-controls-unveils-new-force.phtml I didn't get any impression that tourists who entered the country "legally" and have only overstayed their 90 day "visas"...

    New Immigration Agency

    As always, I can only speak for myself, and I would like to be placed near the top of the list (if there are enough of us to make one) of all of us who "have loved the Dirección Nacional de Migrciones so much." Even though I applied for and renewed my temporary residency (as well as applied for...

    Anyone recently extended a tourist stay and re-entered?

    Are you asking if "you" can get the 90 day extension and then do a "border crossing and return" and get an additional 90 days? I am assuming the goal is to always be in Argentina 'legally" without ever having an overstay, but in order to accomplish that, you would have to make the border...

    Western Union money transfer

    To be clear, I was asked to provide the declaración jurada as the recipient of the funds in Argentina. I could have used either a US passport or an Argentine DNI as a form of identification, but, in either case I still had to complete and send the form to Pago Facil in Argentina. I identifided...
