I'll see you all there!

I'm in Buffalo NY at the moment; an American city that should be cheaper than BA, if there ever was one. Restaurant French fries are about $7, a hamburger 12-15+, supermarket sushi is $7 for a cheap roll. I paid $1.50 for a grapefruit. So a bit more expensive. A roast chicken in a supermarket is...

I'm a female and i don't get it. Maybe it's more glorious now than forty years ago, but my lasting memory is hiking across a random lawn between monorail tracks to see the animal shaped topiaries up close. They were plastic. More impressive was the fact they hired workers to pretend to trim...

I'm always astonished by the Argentine fascination with Disneyworld. It's $119/day now, so families with a few kids are paying a month's salary for a day's entry, and that doesn't include thousands more for airplane, hotel, food, etc. We went once when I was a kid (working class family)...

"It will likely take two to three years before visa-free travel becomes a reality for Argentine passport holders," (By which time, Trump may be on his way out, Milei may be on his way out, the economy in Argentina may have become more of a risk for overstays, etc. This is far from a sure thing...

Writing from Atlanta airport... Creepily enough, entry to USA no longer required showing a passport. You just stand in front of a camera and they say welcome back. Delta airline grilled me as much as migraciones in EZE, to return to USA where I'm a citizen. 'When did you arrive, oh that's your...

Cool! Will do the refundable return. Thanks for your advice!

Do you mean the question isn’t clear, or the answer isn’t clear? The question is: Does a person with a precaria, traveling from the USA to Argentina, need an airplane ticket back to the USA within 90 days of arrival. This is necessary for travel under a tourist visa.

Now that I have my precaria (yay!) can I book my return flight as a one-way, and not have issues? Otherwise, I'll do the return flight I can cancel, but this would be easier. Thanks! I'm assuming it's fine, but wanted to check with the expat experts.

I've had success going into little hardware stores with old dudes at the counter and showing them a picture. If they don't have it, they usually know who might.

According to this the first people 'deported' were a Palestinian family arriving in EZE who were confused with some other people and sent to Istanbul after being held. Interesting that an afro-Uraguayan dude in his 60s was extradited. Sounds like he'd been here for decades.

You can pay for the extension in Migraciones downtown. Maybe you lose a couple of days, I think I did one time. Or you can pay the overstay fine at Jorge Newberry airport in Palermo if you're too paranoid to do it at EZE day of travel (I'm overly cautious about this stuff because I spent a...

I'll stop by! What's this about ice cream cones?

See you there!

I listened to this at the gym today, popped up in my feed. They do discuss a bit about the fact that you can’t just buy stocks or a property; so it sounds like a big version of the inversionista visa… you need to start a business, and presumably create jobs. I can’t imagine many people will be...

I visited 3 banks (all on Corrientes) today looking for one that would open an account with a CDI and Passport: Galicia said not without DNI, BN said go to the Abasto branch, the Abasto branch said "only if your passport has 8 digits". Mine (USA) has 9. He even showed me the screen that...

Not setting foot outside for two years is even more extreme than what the US asks (though I think I mentioned this before, and my link to the US Government Immigration website was pooh-poohed as 'fake news'?). I mean, it's hard to imagine having a significant out-of-country source of income...

I feel like I see that opinion a lot online (anonymously), and occasionally in passing; but I hear as many people quipping that the foreigners are the only ones actually working hard (followed by "kids these days"-type sentiments). As in any country with immigrants. I was looking for...

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3#footnote-26 I dunno... who to believe, published federal policy or a YouTuber?

What legal force does a 'decree' like this have? I read in one forum that these changes would need Congressional approval, which is unlikely with the LLA numbers in Congress (and even if they did well in midterms, there aren't enough open seats in the Senate to give a majority). Two years...
