If it sounds too stressful to get your license try driving around CABA 😀

We're doing a very good job of putting her off the move. To be honest I've been expatriated to a few different countries including Argentina and it's one thing doing it when you're single, it's another thing entirely once you have kids. I had a bit of a reverse of this when we all moved to...

I'd say very roughly you can follow the "acomodado" metric at the offical rate which says you needed 5.2m pesos a month back in November. There's been roughly 4% inflation a month since then which puts the value at $6,000,000 pesos = $6000USD a month...

I have wife and 2 kids, 1 goes to private school other is a baby. Live in a house in Northern suburbs that I bought so don't pay rent. Approx summary of my monthly fixed costs in pesos. School - 600,000 Expensas (sort of like homeowner fees) - 300,000 pesos. Electricity bill - 150,000 pesos Car...

If you get Provisatoria license you’re not supposed to go on any autopistas for 6 months. You’re also supposed to drive with sticker saying you have Provisatoria License for those 6 months. That’s about it. I just drove like normal and didn’t my get stopped anywhere.

I would say that the whole system has been developed precisely to benefit the ultra-wealthy land-owning elite. They'd rather have the peones earning a pittance than a developed economy.

Yes it's expensive at the moment. It's also been dirt cheap in the past, one thing about Argentina is it's never stable! I'm here because my family 3/4 of which are Argentine born, are happy here and I can afford to live here with a decent standard of living. Until such time as that changes...

Just don't bother tipping it's what most Argentines do so you will fit in, throw in a bit of spare change if you must.

Yes sorry wasn’t trying to diss your guide, just sharing my experience within the bureaucracy. Also worth noting that ACA membership is not a requirement if you wanted to save yourself the 40000 pesos, you can do everything at a sede of the gobierno de ciudad de buenos aires.

Well done on steps 2, 3, 4 I did all of those and they wouldn’t accept my UK license at 3 different Sedes. So ended up as a principiante despite spending couple of hundred dollars in fees to be get apostilled license. Because the Uk equivalent of an MVR cannot be apostilled only the driving...

You can get your money out but it's through buying and selling bonds so I think you get something like the MEP rate. If your profits aren't great then it may not be worth it so you may decide to keep them in the country until such are time as it's advantageous to take them out.

Might be a silly question but Is the port clean inside? You can clean out all the lint that accumulates in there with a paperclip.

Greeks work some of the longest hours in Europe, although most of that is spent smoking and drinking coffee... I've worked in Greece for a time for a Greek company and culturally the Greeks are quite similar to Argentines.

Far too difficult for me to understand but it does seem like there is a bit of a bubble from blanqueo + carry trade, when traders want to get their money back in USD will result in pressure on the peso. When this happens who knows?

It’s up to the desk agent to check at your point of departure. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, if they do check and you don’t have a return ticket they won’t let you check in. They don’t check at migraciones once you arrive.

If he needs to install everything from power to the copper piping and pull cable etc it's probably reasonable. If the pre-installation is done then it's expensive.

Us britishers have practiced this for decades on the Costa del Sol. Why eat tapas, paella and a plethora of other andalusian delights when you can have a full english, and egg and chips?

Arguably there’s very little food in Europe that‘s “highly seasoned” to the level of what you get in the States.

You need to try “mi gusto” brother.

Alemán is very good for paediatric stuff in my experience. Italiano too. Both have “plans” which is private health insurance which covers you for everything if you have the top level. They don’t ask for any DNI in my experience you can do it as a foreigner on a passport. At present I’m...
