    Messengers and social networks

    In countries that have experienced heavy internet censorship, Telegram is more popular since it has built-in features to overcome restrictions or blocks. In many places, it has become mainstream and is even more popular than WhatsApp here. For example, a newspaper's Telegram channel can have...

    President Milei Slows Inflation to 2021 Levels in Major Win for Argentine People

    Phone advice?

    Do you have someone to call somebody from the airport? All three companies offer one-month plans for tourists. It's easier to stop by a phone carrier's office when you're in the city. You will need your passport, and sometimes they insist on a credit card. Claro if you want cheap add-on...

    SIM Card shows no signal

    Can you find somebody with a working phone and check two things: whether your SIM card works in his/her phone, and whether his/her SIM card works in your phone. This may give you a pretty good idea of what's going on.

    The dreaded 90 day closure letter

    Is Merrill Lynch the only game in town? Have you considered transferring your IRA assets to another provider that doesn't ask for utility bills? And you overrate the VPN issue. They can still see that you're coming from a VPN provider, even if your IP address resolves to the US. FATCA does not...

    How an Argentine Can Get a Bank Account in the USA

    In some places, like Miami or New York, people know which branch to go to and which customer service person to speak with to get an account opened. You can find this information in specialized forums or channels (but not here). I think everywhere else, it's pretty much impossible.

    Shipping prescription medicine

    Unless it is something highly controlled, it would be easier to buy it here. And if it is highly controlled, it will not get through customs. It's likely that if she goes to a smaller pharmacy and explains what she wants in a cohesive manner, they will sell it to her if they don't think she...

    Does anyone know if critical care insurance is available in Argentina?

    Well, the cheapest plans have co-payments for doctor visits. You could try to talk them into increasing these co-payments to an absurd amount in hopes of getting a discount from the insurance company. However, I don't think it makes sense. I think 'emergency care' plans just resell public...

    Specific exchanges

    I am simply trying to say that visiting a trusted cueva on Florida Street is not much different from visiting a trusted cueva in Palermo. If you feel unsafe for any reason, you can simply turn around and leave.

    You can say the same thing about the central Western Union office or Cambio Berlin. Yeah, yeah, there is always a story. Many years ago, a guy was stabbed because he refused to give up his camera, so you shouldn't take pictures in Buenos Aires.

    Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face

    What's the point of opting out? They already have your driver's license picture on file. By the time you reach the gates, you've passed numerous cameras. Is it just this particular camera that makes you nervous? Try to opt out of having your picture taken at the immigration controls when you...

    Is it necessary to have a full-time job to extend temporary residency? Or is part-time enough?

    Maybe somebody can provide a more current view on the subject. In my opinion, renewing temporary residency is pretty much automatic - no questions are asked at all. When you apply for permanent residency, you undergo an evaluation. They are more concerned about something called "medios lícitos...
