If you are getting married and receiving U.S. Social Security, be sure to look into filing for her. She will likely qualify to receive a separate benefit based on being your spouse. The benefit could be equal to one half the amount of yours.

Maybe it is different at the airport. I am reporting what I was told at the Personal office on Santa Fe in Recoleta about 3 weeks ago. We were in a situation where I had an esim but my husband didn‘t. Both phones are in my name, and they did add his, but the woman who did it seemed surprised...

Personal has eSims. The current policy is only to give them to people with contracts and not for people with prepago, or pay as you go. We have e-sims in our prepagos, but they are from before they instituted the current policy. We use them as a second sim, keeping the US numbers active as well.

Does anyone know if Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir w/ ritonavir,) covid treatment is available in Argentina? If so, how do you get it? We don't have covid now, but think it very likely we will get it in the coming weeks/months. We are old and want to be prepared.

I know I shouldn’t think in usd, but would 12,000 pesos. (1000 pesos per month) be excessive? That‘s $40.

Any advice on how much to give our long-time building porter as a regalito for Christmas/ i.e. year-end tip?

I'm no expert, but I have a fairly f***ed up eyes with astigmatism and have twice bought glasses that are both progressive and light-sensitive (that darken in the sun) from a neighborhood shop that seem fine to me. I am not sure that the anti-reflective qualities are as good as the ones I get...

Taxi Ezeiza is super reliable. Their current rate from the city to EZE is 2790, and only in cash. https://www.taxiezeizaoficial.com/tarifas-vigentes/

When my husband tried to make an appointment online for a new passport in February, the only option we could find in our neighborhood was for an "express" turn. the appointment was the following week, and the passport arrived at our apartment in 2 days. I don't remember the cost, but it wasn't...

The answer to this may be somewhere on this site but I don’t know how to find it. So apologies if it is redundant. I “own” an apartment in Buenos Aires. What I am wondering is exactly what it is that I own. I am familiar with New York real estate where there are condos and co-ops. The...

When I bought my apartment in 2009, I used a company named Multifinanzas, which is now named Transatlantica Compañia Financiera. They are located downtown in microcenter. They were great. The price for the service was very reasonable, and we also did the closing in a room at their office. The...

Be direct, whenever you start a conversation with someone you don't know. The first words out of your mouth should be: "Disculpe, no hablo bien el castellano." This sets the bar low, before they have a chance to get frustrated with you. Once alerted to your difficulty, I have found...

That is one of the reasons for my question. Does anyone know how far in advance they let you enter?

The answer to this is probably here somewhere, but I can't find it. We are on the Delta flight leaving EZE at 11:40 pm tomorrow. What time should we arrive at the airport?

Here is an app to search for labs near you. I got it by rummaging through the Delta website, but other airlines may have similar.

Not if you have permanent residency. I don't know if you have temporary residency. I gather that you need need proof of connection/family only if you don't have residency.

I entered about 3 weeks ago as a permanent resident, with no problem. When I filled out the ddjj form, I initially used my U.S. passport number and got to a form requiring me to prove health insurance. When I went back and changed to entering with my DNI, things went perfectly, with no insurance...

I did it 12 years ago using a finance company called Multifinanzas. Things can have changed a lot, I don’t know anything about them since then, but at the time, the service was economical and great. I would suggest trying them, or someplace similar, maybe Casa Puente. I was a tourist and had no...

We came through Ezeiza from the US this morning and there was no mention of any quarantine. Three people in three different lines, two of them native Argentine speakers, agreed that not one the immigration agents said anything about health or safety. And there were no other controls except...

We are also vaccinated, but I am anticipating that we will be tested and quarantined. I will try to remember to let you know when we have arrived.
