They are offering the tests at both Ezeiza and Aeroparque. 6000 pesos and 2h turnaround for PCR. 4000 pesos and 15-30 min for antigen (good for US).

I assume you know all the ins and outs of flying to Canada at this time, aside from the visa requirements. Firstly, your travel needs to be deemed essential, or you need to be the relative of a Canadian citizen. Depending on whether that relative is considered immediate or not, you may well need...

I’ve arranged travel for several clients who went for the express purpose of vaccination. If you’re related to an Argentine you can fly no problem even if not a PR*. (With one important caveat - see below). If you’re a PR you can fly, case closed. *The only issue with traveling as a relative...

Lots of people flying to Newark in order to skip all of that.

This may be the case if it gets to court. It is definitely not what will happen under normal administrative process.

Correct. Fiscal is definitely a tourist. The rest is simply the basis for allowing him to enter as a tourist, since most tourists are at present not allowed to enter the country. He can most likely begin the process of obtaining permanent residency in the country on the basis of having a...

Any agent you know will do this for a very reasonable fee, an order of magnitude less than any actual transportation will cost you actually, $20 is pretty damn cheap. Just make sure that a return ticket on any date suffices, with Argentina the maximum permitted stay for tourists is 90 days so...

Is this to prove you’ll be leaving? Confirmed reservations often work for that - ticket not required.

As far as Canada is concerned, there are a whole bunch of rules that are needed in order to board a flight to Canada. And the airlines generally enforce these. But once you’ve made it onto Canadian soil? As a Canadian citizen? You’re in, full stop. As @dilmah said, you might be in trouble with...

You are correct, it is certainly an opinion (even if a widely shared one). I myself qualified it in the same paragraph as an “argument”. The confusion (the fault of which is entirely mine) is the conflation of 2 issues: fact vs. opinion, and “my side” vs. “I’m not on any side, this seems...

Almost completely agree, with a couple of caveats. Skepticism is great. The problem is that there is a fine line between skepticism and cynicism where you assume that everything is a porquería. The net result is that the shittiest player “wins”, and there is no incentive to try to adhere to the...

I agree. To be clear, that’s not what I’m saying. I am looking at this much more dispassionately than you imagine. There is lots about the MSM that I despise. That’s why I mentioned the example with the WaPo to start with. My subsequent comments were about reading more into this than we should...

Sure. But the MSM did a fine job of conveying those concerns. Not sure what is your larger point. Even propaganda outlets sometimes get the story right. Does that mean that we should not bear in mind that they are propaganda outlets? Or do you dispute that RT is accurately described as such?

I don’t think my surprise or lack thereof is the point. I am comfortable saying that I give very few people, and even less organizations, an inherent benefit of the doubt. That being said, this kind of bad judgment is not something that happens often at WaPo. As I said, it makes headline news...

To be very clear: This idiotic f-up notwithstanding, as a general rule the US MSM on its worst day, is more credible - than NYP, and the better parts of Fox on most days, and the rest of Fox, OAN, RT and all the rest on their best days. In fact, this is actually illustrated by this goofy...

Move your phone number to Simple Mobile. Free roaming across almost all of Latin America.

Further to our ongoing discussion of media credibility: It isn’t just right wing publications. The Washington Post Memory-Holed Kamala Harris' Bad Joke About Inmates Begging for Food and Water There is good and bad news in this. The bad news is that one of the most mainstream publications...

To be honest, the National Review means nothing today, at all. They were the archetypal Never Trumpers, until he won and the lot of them rolled over and became Maybe Trumpers. From there the progression was clear, to anti-anti-Trumpers to full-on Trumpalos. And on January 20th, surprise! -...

Here’s an example of what is more than enough to take an outlet off any list of trusted media: Along with the wave of bullshit about the elections being stolen, were some pretty specific accusations. They included lots of stuff about voting machines run by a companies called Smartmatic and...
