Now that I have my precaria (yay!) can I book my return flight as a one-way, and not have issues? Otherwise, I'll do the return flight I can cancel, but this would be easier. Thanks! I'm assuming it's fine, but wanted to check with the expat experts.

I've had success going into little hardware stores with old dudes at the counter and showing them a picture. If they don't have it, they usually know who might.

According to this the first people 'deported' were a Palestinian family arriving in EZE who were confused with some other people and sent to Istanbul after being held. Interesting that an afro-Uraguayan dude in his 60s was extradited. Sounds like he'd been here for decades.

You can pay for the extension in Migraciones downtown. Maybe you lose a couple of days, I think I did one time. Or you can pay the overstay fine at Jorge Newberry airport in Palermo if you're too paranoid to do it at EZE day of travel (I'm overly cautious about this stuff because I spent a...

I'll stop by! What's this about ice cream cones?

See you there!

I listened to this at the gym today, popped up in my feed. They do discuss a bit about the fact that you can’t just buy stocks or a property; so it sounds like a big version of the inversionista visa… you need to start a business, and presumably create jobs. I can’t imagine many people will be...

I visited 3 banks (all on Corrientes) today looking for one that would open an account with a CDI and Passport: Galicia said not without DNI, BN said go to the Abasto branch, the Abasto branch said "only if your passport has 8 digits". Mine (USA) has 9. He even showed me the screen that...

Not setting foot outside for two years is even more extreme than what the US asks (though I think I mentioned this before, and my link to the US Government Immigration website was pooh-poohed as 'fake news'?). I mean, it's hard to imagine having a significant out-of-country source of income...

I feel like I see that opinion a lot online (anonymously), and occasionally in passing; but I hear as many people quipping that the foreigners are the only ones actually working hard (followed by "kids these days"-type sentiments). As in any country with immigrants. I was looking for...

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3#footnote-26 I dunno... who to believe, published federal policy or a YouTuber?

What legal force does a 'decree' like this have? I read in one forum that these changes would need Congressional approval, which is unlikely with the LLA numbers in Congress (and even if they did well in midterms, there aren't enough open seats in the Senate to give a majority). Two years...

I will swing by

sometimes you can find the Mercadolibre's store address by looking at delivery options, or if you can figure out the name of the business and input it to Google Maps. I've showed up at what was essentially a warehouse downtown and just bought a thing for cash, when I needed a shower head and the...

I'm curious about him too; he charges less than Celano for what I imagine is the same work.

What were his fees like for the first year application, if you don't mind saying?

You have to double-check everything. It's a good tool to make a rough draft, if you want the most mainstream result. But not worth the downside if you're thinking big picture. We'll see the fallout from this "innovation" faster than from climate change.

I've had mixed results with chatgpt and Gemini. It had suggestions of what museums in BA were free on what days... 80 percent correct, maybe 20 percent fake news. But it was better than the alternative of looking them all up individually. One time I used it to answer a question about some...

Wow, even with a guide you had more misadventures than me, flying solo in St. Petersburg (I was staying with a friend in Moscow, but I had to entertain myself the 14 hours a day he was doing his lawyer stuff, and go alone to St. Pete). I stayed in a (nearly empty, because it was October) hostel...

Haha I was on a similar train trip around the same time... my Russian was practically nonexistent but enough to answer the drunk dude who was staying in the same sleeper car when he asked where I was from. Then he made loud angry comments about the USA and the Russian woman in there with us got...
