I agree. Cancel it within the 24 hours while you can and start over again. Perhaps even call Delta in the U.S. to reserve. This week I called United in the U.S, and booked a flight from EZE to Madrid, via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. A second leg is from Rome to Washington, DC. on United And the...

I just changed my status from rentista to permanent. I did the process in January and my new DNI arrived this week, on schedule. Hooray! You need to get a turn online here http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesibleingles/?turno_online It is at the Migraciones building down at Antardida Argentina...

It might be too late to pay the full year all at once. The coupon for that is # 13, but it might have expired in February.

Bradly is right, I didn't get mine either, even thought may of the other people in my building did. But you still owe it. If you have your account number, you can get it online, print it out and pay it.

I met the love of my life in a milonga. We are both older. He was retired and I was approaching that age. He is Argentinean and a wonderful person, but I think a critical factor is that we were both very content with our lives before we met. All those years I spent looking and hoping for a good...

I gave you the address in my earlier reply.. Its 2100 block of Arribeños. It is Casa China

I haven't bought it lately but have usually found it in the Chinese grocery in the 2100 block of Arribeños in Chinatown and in a verduleria in the Recoleta arcade in the 1500 block of Rodriguez Peña. In the verduleria you have to ask for it. It is called eneldo.

I rented an apartment from Buenos Aires Stay, his company in 2008. I didn't much like the apartment, but I blamed my poor choice via the internet rather than the company. In fact, I don't remember much about my dealings with them, which suggests that they were uneventful. If there had been a...

Saw a t-shirt the other day that said Operated Perfection. I wondered if it were an ad for a plastic surgeon.

Matiasba, if you paid for the full year in one payment last January, the amount of that payment already included the discount for paying promptly. So instead of getting the discount this year, you already got it last year. The amount for Cuota 13 is less than the total of the 12 monthly cuotas.

I was thinking of the asset tax, not the income tax. My thought was that if I am planning to be out of the country more than 90 days every year, then that breaks the chain of residency if I only have a temporary visa. Taking permanent residency would definitely put my domicile here and...

I will be eligible this week for permanent residency after three years of visas for temporary residency. But looking at the tax laws, I am thinking it might be better to stay a temporary resident, to avoid taxes on worldwide assets. I am planning to split my time half and half between here and...

I am neither a lawyer nor an accountant but it looks like (proper use of italics??) the two documents below, when read together, say that residents, whether Argentinean citizens or not, are supposed to pay the taxes on worldwide assets. The first one, cited above by John.St, seems to say that...

I was five years old, the youngest and only girl among five cousins. One of my maiden aunts --also in Alabama -- was a professional seamstress. She didn’t have much money, but she would go to the most expensive store in Montgomery and buy the most elegant child’s outfit she could find. She...

You are right. I did already have a DNI number and was getting it renewed. As I recall, I had a piece of paper, a receipt from the application that had a number on it, and they used that to check on the progress. In any event, I hope yours come through soon.

P.S. Bradly, What a BUMMER!

When I applied about 8 months ago for a new DNI, I did it at Hipólito Yrigoyen 952. They gave me a piece of paper that said that it if didn't come in 30 days to go to Jujuy 468. Eventually mine did show up in the mail, after about 70 days. But I went twice to Jujuy looking for it. In both...

Hola Fettucini, Here is the webpage from Migraciones with the info you need. It says you do need a turn in advance and says to click the link to get one. As I recall, that is what I did. http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesibleingles/?dni_extranjeros ​I just clicked through it up to the...

Yes, you do need a new DNI, but it doesn't come automatically. You have to apply for it. As I recall, when I did it in March, I had to ask for a turn online just to make the application. The wait for appointment was several weeks. Then, after I filed the application, they said I would get the...

There are two issues here. One is buying tickets at the "resident" fare for nonresidents, and the other is using cash to pay for the tickets. I don't know about the first one. It is a risk, but it appears to be one that often pays off. As for paying in cash pesos, regardless of which fare...
