Firearms are not illegal in Argentina and have become much easier to legally obtain since Milei was elected president. A citizen or permanent resident needs to apply for a CLU (certificate of legitimo usuario) which will be granted in 60 days or less assuming you have no criminal record. This...

This and a highly disciplined native English speaking population capable of sophisticated biotechnology/pharmarceutical/chemical R & D and manufacturing. The rock solid English common law based judicial system also makes it attractive place to originate contracts/leases.

There are no 35,000 hectares estates in CABA; I have no idea what happens in rural areas or urban areas in other jurisdictions. I can tell you that I pay over 1.7 million pesos per month in ABL and about 1 million pesos per month in bienes personales on real property. That's about $1800-$2000...

No property taxes ? That's certainly not the case in CABA as ABL is most certainly a property tax and Bienes Personales is an asset tax, is in some sense a property tax in a country where the only asset most people have is real property.

At one time CNBA was in fact the premier secondary school in Argentina; illustrious figures such as Carlos Pelligrini, Marcelo T de Alvear, Manuel Belgrano and Bernardo Rivadavia were educated there; all the Nobel Laureates, Presidents, etc all attended CNBA more than a century ago ...

Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires unfortunately has become a Marxist indoctrination center over the last 30-40 years. San Andres, Saint George, Newman, Lincoln, Northlands and a few others are the best private schools in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area.

This will only be useful to US Citizens who maintain active banking/ credit ties to the USA but worth mentioning as it's one of a kind for expats. This credit card gives 3.3x Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines miles per dollar on ALL foreign purchases (3x just for having the card with a 10% bonus if you...

Only Franklin Templeton is dumb enough to bet the farm on Argentina exposed investments.

I had Moh's surgery in 2016 by Dr. Abel Gonzalez at the Unidad Oncologica Cutanea in the Instituto Fleming in Colegiales. This is the guy for Moh's Surgery in Argentina and Dr Abel Gonzalez has been doing it since 1990. Instituto Fleming specializes in Oncology and I was very impressed with...

Admin - Please clean up this thread. How did a restaurant report with prices and photos degenerate into all this political banter?

Excellent choice for high end steak in a totally non tourist but still affluent area. They market themselves as "Sommelier de Carnes". Uncommon cuts available along with all the usual choices. Excellent wine list as well including high end imported wines. Shown in photos is Costellar...

I ate here last night as I often do; 101.500 pesos (about $77 USD at blue rate) for a dry aged 950g T-Bone (which is actually more of a full porterhouse and appears to weigh more than 950g). Food and service excellent as always and two normal people could easily share that steak and leave full...

Did you mean to write it would not be less than 1.200.000 pesos per month ?

I heard that Hospital Italiano is willing to cover senior citizens; I have no experience with this but Hospital Italiano does overall have a solid reputation. This is a link to their 60+ "plan mayor" https://www.hospitalitaliano.org.ar/#!/home/plan/planes/mayor/detalles

If my experience the Hospital Aleman is the worst high end hospital in the CABA for walk in "urgent care" medical services in terms of exorbitant wait times. I suspect this is because they sell a ton of Hospital Aleman-only medical plans and the client base goes there anytime they have a cough...

All major hospitals and health insurance plans accept payment with a credit card. If you have a US issued AMEX charge card (Platinum, Gold, Green etc) that has no pre set limit (and you have a good relationship with Amex) you absolutely could pay a large hospital deposit with the card. The...

The agro sector has about $9.5 billion USD in exportable product sitting on the sidelines waiting for a significant enough devaluation to liquidate their holdings. This probably puts a ceiling on how far the currency will fall in the short term (between now and end of year). The lower export...

Locals in Spain or other places being unhappy that foreigners with more resources than them take a liking to a place and drive up prices to the point where the locals cannot afford to live there anymore is perfectly understandable. If I was a local of modest means in Barcelona, Valencia...

For (relatively) expensive Argentine beef that is actually worth the cost by international standards go to Elena inside the Four Seasons Hotel in Retiro. The dry aged 950g T-Bone (which is actually more of a porterhouse due to the filet mignon portion being more than a sliver) is amazing and if...
