    Best way to ship a laptop out internationally?

    The issue is with items entering Argentina; not leaving, unless CBP were to decide to image your drive. For me, it's anyone other than UPS. I use DHL. I doubt that you are sending to a P.O. Box, but if so, check in advance if the carrier excludes deliveries to such. Good luck.

    Temporary Residence Renewal

    mageesa, one other point: you can't paste text into some of their fields. So, what you do is copy the text onto a Word document, align the two windows and then drag the text from the Word doc onto the DNM / Radex field. BTW, it's not your attorney, it's whoever designed and coded the website...

    If you rented an airbnb for 1000 USD a month

    Yes, that would be quite reasonable because you'd be deducting the Airbnb fee and you'd presumably be paying cash. Does Airbnb charge the 21% VAT tax in BA? I don't know. If yes, add that into the mix. Also, paying with new $100 USD Benjamins would strengthen your bargaining position. If all of...

    Questions from a newcomer

    I've used GV for years throughout South America without problems; with many calls being +60 minutes. The few disruptions were caused by me reconfiguring DNS settings or trying make a call two stories below in a parking garage. If you stick with say Cloudflare and Google public DNS, you will be...

    Temporary Residence Renewal

    mageesa, Migraciones is 'special'. You just have to keep probing. Yesterday, they sent me this URL to upload documents and despite multiple configurations, I still receive a 404 error. https://www.migraciones.gov.ar/ACCESIBLE/CONSULTATRAMITEPRECARIA/CONSULTAUNIFICADA.PHP Using PHP as a...

    Milei to New Yorkers: Flee "communist" Mamdani to Argentina

    All it takes is one article from International Living and the swarms will arrive. Just ask the natives of Cuenca, Ecuador or Medellin, Colombia. Milei ought to consider carefully that which he asks.

    From Russia with Love…LBGTQ style

    I am quite pleased to have Russians immigrating to Argentina and I help them whenever possible. Russians are renowned for their loyalty to friends and they are equally renowned for physical toughness i.e. Stalingrad. And, unlike typical American public schools, Russian public schools lean...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    You're a little late to the party. Botha has not been president since 1984.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Hey Konner, I don't mean to be a boer but if it's not an imposition, could you please keep an eye out at the feria for a ceramic figurine of Die Groot Krokodil which I'd like to add to my collection? I'd go myself but am unfortunately tied up this weekend. Thanks.

    Argentine economists believe the US Treasury has already sold its pesos

    Trump and Bessant last week both said that the U.S. made hundreds of millions of dollars of profit on the swap. The U.S. won and Milei won. Which was the intention.

    Temporary Residence Renewal

    PD, Once you learn where to go on Radex, the process is much simpler than in previous years. It is though, not intuitive in all respects. If someone guides you through the steps however, it's not difficult. Just take notes so that you can follow the trail again. Note: I cannot access a large...

    No Milton, it is a pensionado visa. Apologies, I should have been more explicit.

    Temporary Residence Renewal

    F For what it's worth, my residency was just approved without having made any deposits. They were not listed as being required on the Radex website nor were they requested during my personal interview. A Migraciones employee came to my building looking for a missing Russian fellow. The...

    Disillusioned Argentine doctors

    Precisely. I can't recall the number of times I was asked by medical offices for cash. Today, I could not buy a needed medical device because the doctor(a) wanted $1,500 USD cash. Credit card / debit not accepted. What a disgrace. I have zero empathy and sympathy for unethical people. And...

    Safe to have packages sent here from abroad?

    DW - IMO, by sending a camera here you are asking for trouble with Argie customs (Aduana) which has a reputation for often being problematic [sorry Afrikonner]. They can tie you up asking for full value import taxes; or they can demand original receipts; or the item can be, 'lost'; or you will...

    Visa Application Processing Time

    What I have learned, the hard way, with respect to Migraciónes Argentina, is to not push on a rope. Initiate the process and then just patiently standby. Enjoy the free extra time here as you go to through multiple precarias and prórrogas. Worrying about what capricious requirements some...

    U.S. to make hundreds of millions on Milei win

    This is the problem and until it is addressed, the peso will remain moribund. All the IMF loans and cash swaps imaginable cannot staunch the monetary entropy.
