This is a new topic for me, as I approach retirement, I will either have to convert to a cobra through my us health insurance, which I doubt will have very good benefits here in Argentina, or spool up on this topic. Please excuse my ignorance on the topic, but reading through this and other...

Not sure about the lead times here in Argentina, however I commute back and forth to the US for work, and during the US Gov. shutdown I assumed that it'd take a long time as it had during the Biden admin. I got printed at a USPS office the day before returning to Argentina hoping that it'd be...

Interesting take... I've been using Starlink in Argentina for well over a year, and unlike the Argentine infrastructure, read electricity and water, here, my starlink internet has yet to fail me, (here in Argentina, or my Starlink in the US).

I imagine that if one renounced their US citizenship that they’d no longer be eligible for social security benefits…?

Never happen! That’d mean that they’d have to do away with fatca, can’t have taxation without representation, and I can’t believe that any politician would vote for doing away with a tax!

Thanks for the info on Monument Visa. FYI, I just returned from the USA, re: shutdown, I visited a post office for prints a few days before leaving thinking that with the shut down etc.. that I’d have the background waiting in my mail box when I return in January. Ironically I received the BC...

In my travel through Argentina meeting with several manufacturers, I’ve been told that the main reason that many factory owners go out of business here is because the damn Gov. taxes/steals ALL of the profit, and empowers the labor force to work very little and demand full pay, and makes it very...

I agree with Luke, well said brother!, but it I’ll throw one out there for you nonetheless. The Calamuchita valley in Cordoba state is beautiful, within your altitude range and although some areas are touristy during parts of the year (Villa General Belgrano y La Cumbrecita) there’s plenty of...

I too spend 50%+ of my time in the US, I can't speak to BA prices since I live out in the country in Cordoba state, but I can speak to US prices. I travel almost non-stop coast to coast when I'm in the US, living out of a suitcase. Prices in the US have gone crazy in the last few years! When...

Yes! Thanks for sharing that McKenna!!

Good council on one night abb, thanks! Guess I’m looking for a nice local hotel then in a nice neighborhood. No shame, been a road warrior for forty plus years, like to taste local flavors, and haven’t really done that in the capital of my adopted country.

It seems that most on here, (as the name implies), live in BA. I'll be overnighting in BA on my way out of the country next month, and thinking about getting an AirBNB or nice local hotel, instead of my usual Hilton stay. Even though I've got the points, it seems pretty gringo of me to keep...

Speaking of Argentinian mysteries (please forgive me if this should be on its own thread, but I think it maybe fits). It seems that this country is puzzling on both sides of the spectrum good and bad. Last weekend I entered the local small town (Santa Rosa de Calamuchita) hospital emergency...

I agree with Elhombre, I think the bus tour is a great way to explore new cities. Having said that, and although I live in Cordoba province, I’ve never done that in Cordoba city. Sorry I’m not much help with Cordoba capital!, When I go to town, it’s usually on a mission to source something...

Good afternoon. I just learned that CPAC will be in Buenos Aires this week. Anyone going? https://www.cpac.org/int/argentina/inicio

hmm, I'm not so sure about that... time will tell, but I imagine that if Milei continues on his current trajectory, that it won't be long before we all see quite a lot of foreign investment flooding in to Argentina. I'll be surprised if we don't see Elon Musks companies with a sizable footprint...

Well Said! Bravo!! simply mashing the like button wasn't enough to convey how much I agree with your post! Grassy Ass!!

I sure don't, but if I read it right, it was announced that AFIP was shuttered today, so I think it's anyone's guess...

Looked for animal, couldn't find it...

We bought some land a couple of years ago, cash deal with a few payments over a years time. Having just sold our home in the states, with inspections and mountains of disclosure forms etc... I was foolishly feeling kind of real estate savvy. Mind you my Spanish is really bad and my Spanish...
