    Sending money to the U.S.

    The only way to do without fees is with a friend. I do this for my Argentinian friends when I need cash here, as it works for both of us.

    Permanently overstaying

    Been here two years now, no problems. Will get a DNI anyway but I’ve had no issues so far. So much so that I’m starting to wonder if the computers at migraciones on arrivals even show them your past stays when they scan your passport.

    Is the Overstay Fine Payable at Aeroparque Jorge Newberry?

    I wonder if you went to a different Migraciones office there, I’ve never seen anyone else there at all. Where was the office?

    Argentina’s Javier Milei has made a horrible mistake

    "He is now trapped. Either he […] or he lets the peso find its level and unleashes a fresh inflation” What’s stopping him leaving things exactly as they are? In spite of the insane prices most Argentinians aren’t complaining (beats me why) about the situation, so he has no reason to do much of...

    Colonia runs as of May 2024

    Don’t do it. Migraciones doesn’t like the shtick. Better to just pay the overstay fine when you leave.

    Anyone want to split a DHL envelope from the USA for cards I am sending in a few weeks?

    What would happen if I tried sending a TV with Eurosender/DHL. The quote for shipping with Eurosender is $250. Would I get the TV?

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I’ve been thinking that since Milei devalued the peso and health premiums went through the roof. “There’s no way this can last!” Here we are, all these months later and nothing is giving at all …. Just looked up the date, it was December 13. Soon it’ll be almost a year.

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I'm as far from a commie as it gets, I'm a full red blooded American capitalist. I'm just commenting on the "prices being corrected" - it isn't a correction, it's profit for company owners, that is all I'm saying. We both know that people on the street are not getting significant salary raises...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Things may have been artificially cheap but prices aren't just "correcting", companies are trying to grab cash while they can in this crazy time. For example - how on earth is yoghurt made locally more expensive than yoghurt in the USA where salaries of the people making the yoghurt are 20x...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I’ve been here two years too. Costs are definitely starting to hurt. I never thought the cost increases in dollars would last this long, so what do I know 🤷🏻‍♂️ I still really enjoy living here but the prices are starting to impact that.

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    practically everything is still expensive and even more so. I like it here but nobody can say that living here is currently a “good deal”.
