    Moving Sale - Last Call - Belgrano

    Hi y'all, I'm in the final stretch of my move and I still have a handful of things left that need to be rehomed. All prices are negotiable, and I've built in some discounts for anyone who can pay in BRL via Pix, since it'll keep me from having to go to the cambio when I get to Brazil. I'd...

    We're getting ready to leave Argentina, and kicking off the process of selling our stuff here. I'm going to put together a list of stuff that we're selling over the next few days, but the car is definitely at the top of the list, so it's going on here first. I'll edit this post with the full...

    So, after ~3 years in BA for me and 2 years for my wife, we're getting ready to pack up and move across the border to Brazil. However, we have a couple of bigger things we want to keep, such as the dishwasher, keyboard, plus other odds and ends. Does anyone have any recommendations for movers...

    Warning - Do NOT get cheddar from Valenti

    I went into the Valenti in the Mercado de Belgrano on Saturday because they enticed me with the cheddar on display, since after ~3 years in Argentina and only intermittent respites of real cheddar, I was having a craving for good cheese and I bought 900g of the stuff. A little overboard, but I...

    So, hooray, my spouse and I both have our resolutions for our permanent residency, and have had for a bit... My wife got hers in February, and I got mine a month ago. However, our DNIs haven't arrived, and we leave for Brazil, next week. Do y'all know of any way to prod ReNaPer to speed up...

    Mail in Argentina, yet again…

    The IRS, in their infinite wisdom, sent my tax refund by mail instead of direct deposit, in February, to my Argentine address and it’s not here yet. Meanwhile, I’ve had a friend send an Easter card that arrived in less than two weeks since then, according to the postmark. What are the chances...

    78 days from turno to resuelto for extra-Mercosur permanent residency.

    The title says it all, and there are a few magic asterisks to be found in the process, but it's generally straightforward on how I did it, and you might be able to do this too. Magic Asterisk 1 - My spouse is Brazilian and we applied for permanent residency together. If she had already obtained...

    Permanent Residency: One down, One to go...

    My wife and I started our permanent residency process together, with her applying under Ley 26.240 as a Brazilian and me as her spouse.

    Residency through non-Argentine spouse

    Hi, has anyone gone through the PR process with a Brazilian spouse, where both of you are applying at the same time? (I'm a US citizen, she's eligible for permanent residency under Ley 26240) Did Migraciones do the interview too, or is that reserved for when you marry someone with an existing...

    Anyone missed the police visit for the certificado de domicilio?

    It's pretty much self-explanatory. I'm not completely sure I missed it yet, because I filed the request at my local comisaría on Friday, but does anyone know if they'll come back around and retry, if they miss you the first time?
