Bs. As. has two health care systems. The public system is overwhelmed, so everyone waits, and waits. The private systems are not expensive for an expat with means. I am satisfied with my private health care provider, but since I am old, I had to qualify before I was permitted to enroll. In...

Dist Los Arcos works for me.

Other posters note comparative advantage. The largest trade partners of the US are Canada, Mexico, and China. I would argue that 1st world nations have a keen desire to encourage the development of 3rd world nations, so the poor of the 3rd world engage in building a better future in their...

With or without our certificates, we'll get to Aeroparque and hope for the best. Thanks for your advise

Any suggestions on getting the required circulation permit for getting on flights within ARG? If I don't get to Cordoba and help secure a vacant house for sale soon, the local punks will steal anything they can get there hands on, and damage a lot in their thievery. The purpose of the trip...

I guess I must lower my expectations. I had hoped I would have been waived out of a temp or probationary license period with over 50 years of driving. So I am inclined to get the course and exam done ASAP so I can run the clock out on the restriction on highways with higher permitted speeds...

There are threads from 2015 on getting a driver's license in CABA. Any experiences in the last year or so? Is the 40 question theoretical test a tough one? Will an academy tailor course work for foreigners with decades of safe driving abroad, but a bit challenged in castellano? Thanks

Since I obtained permanent resident status last month, I thought maybe I could vote in the PASO. No such luck. The reference to foreign permanent residents being registered "automatically" is misleading, IMHO. No registration for me in the Padrón. I will check from time to time, to see if I...

I misjudged my need for a legally valid signature on US court sourced docs, so I have not sought solutions to the post of 10 months ago. Sorry I can't be of further help.

Over 50 days have elapsed since I was able to download my Ceritificadode Residencia Precaria. The last time when I renewed my DNI, before the pandemic, I got my new card in less than a month from the issuance of the precaria. Any recent accounts of how delayed physical cards are from RNP?

Are medical appointments at locations that are not in my neighborhood no longer permitted under the current restrictions? If I travel by taxi, do I need a formal permiso?

With few exceptions, the staff at my bank really extends themselves to provide the services I need, despite my poor Spanish. They have earned the high level of respect I hold for them.

I don't have expertise on anti tank systems retrofits, but found this link on a deal done by Germany with the Israelis. Germany orders Israel’s Trophy active protection system for its Leopard 2 tanks (defensenews.com) . I can't defend outlays for weaponry by the Argentine government, but...

When I had an occasion to wire in 4 figures USD, the fee charged in ARG was about USD $45. Dollars wired into the dollar account stay in dollars. Should the need arise to use pesos to pay electronically, I have to buy pesos at the rate the banks sells them at.... 76 pesos to the USD for the...

I maintain at the same Argentine bank a peso account and a USD account. Accountant here in CABA advised that depositing pesos in efectivo was a no no. But as long as I obtain a turno, cash withdrawals in USD have not been a problem. The fees for inbound USD are not objectionable. Each...

It seems the US Embassy under the quarantine restrictions does not offer notary services. What alternatives exist? Do I have an escribania witness my signature and leave it to the US attorney to get my signed docs apostilled? Anyone with any experience with US based online notaries...

Check this out: Teorías de terraplanismo Inspirado en el sondeo del diario brasileño Floha de Sao Paulo, la encuesta de Zuban Córdoba incluyó preguntas sobre posturas calificadas como anticientíficas. El resultado fue inesperado: Un 12% de los argentinos consultados a nivel nacional afirmó...

for what it is worth, letter from Boca Raton FL metered with 21 April date was received here in CABA 24 August. Just an observation, not a complaint or judgement. Good to know the mail seems to be moving.

Very happy this lazy Yank got a stimulus payment via direct deposit to a US Bank. No mess, no fuss. Better late than never.

Today I became so confused with RaDeX I lost it. It would appear that with the extensions granted due to Covid -19, RaDeX just creates dead ends. I thought my 2nd renewal of DNI under Temporaria Extranjero would be doable, as I managed last year. Not so. Is RaDeX no longer operational?
