    Chinese EVs are everywhere in Argentina

    Peak grid demand is during the daytime, most EV owners charge overnight once they arrive home and plug in. In the US and other countries with higher EV adoption there is the option for "Time of Use" rates, where you have a discounted electricity price for the power you use overnight, as that's...

    I need recommendations for law firms specializing in immigration and investor residency

    Chances of this going anywhere are slim I'd say. As a citizen of a country requiring a visa to enter Argentina you don't have the privilege of arriving as a tourist and then submitting an application to adjust your status inside the country. You'd need to solicit the proper visa (student...

    Car Insurance Recommendations

    Has anyone imported their car to Argentina on a temporary basis as a tourist with a foreign passport? I understand there are some agencies that sell insurance for tourists driving around Argentina but I think it's liability only, are there any companies that will sell comprehensive coverage to a...

    Note that if you are an Argentine citizen returning from abroad you get a tax free import of personal effects, including a car with prior authorization and approval from the embassy

    Milei dreams of massive immigration to the provinces

    It would be good for Argentina to decentralize, too much is getting sucked into BA at the expense of the rest of the country

    The myth of white Argentina still shapes the nation

    Indeed, if you venture out of the Palermo gringo bubble Argentina is in fact a heavily mestizo society. I'd say it's more akin to "inverted Mexico", where in lieu of Mexico's small European/White Mexican population and much larger indigenous population, Argentina has a larger European descent...

    Anyone coming from US soon?

    Probably cheaper to buy a roundtrip ticket to Iguazu and buy it in Ciudad del Este. Electronics there are even cheaper than in the US and you can do it as a daytrip

    Does online shopping have anything to do with it?

    is there a way to get citizenship faster than having to wait 2 years with perm residency?

    Yes, permanent vs temporary residency has nothing to do with it. There was always a lot of confusion and misinformation that you needed PR for citizenship even before Mileis knew DNU which was never the case. You can read the DNU yourself, just download it and if you don’t speak Spanish...

    Vaca Muerta will demand more than 40,000 additional workers

    Won't be long now till Argentina starts issuing oil dividends to its citizens like Saudi Arabia or Qatar 😂 Only half joking, but the newfound wealth from resource exploitation will be a big boost for the country

    Los que más tienen

    To be honest I don't see the problem with providing public education for your citizens. The pretense being that this investment in their education will be paid back manyfold by them working higher skilled jobs and contributing back to the state with taxes in the future. I am curious if you...

    Los que más tienen

    The universities would do well to start charging foreign students tuition. Foreign students study for free on the backs of the Argentine taxpayer, many of them, perhaps even most, return to their country shortly afterwards to work there without contributing a dime to the country that educated them.

    Can I enter Paraguay with my DNI as US citizen?

    Under the Mercosur agreement residents of the signatories are able to use their Cedula/DNI or similar document to travel from one to another so long as their original nationality doesn't require a visa. So that means if you're an American you could travel from Argentina to Uruguay for example...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Any products that can be produced locally and are truly of a high quality and a reasonable cost wouldn't need tariffs and other forms of protectionism to compete on the free market then. If they are only reasonable when foreign imports cost double or triple what they should cost otherwise due to...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    More of the same is precisely what got voted and has been getting voted out since Milei took the reins. They tried import substitution for decades, it hasn't worked and it's not going to work. Argentina is not going to be the country where consumer electronics (TVs, Phones etc) are manufactured...

    Landlord wants the rent paid... In cash, in a different city!???

    I don't see the problem. Lots of landlords want dollars cash, you can't teleport the money. So either he comes to you to collect cash or you go to him. Sounds like he was too lazy to drive out to you and expected you to go to him

    is there a way to get citizenship faster than having to wait 2 years with perm residency?

    Yes in some provinces they required you to have a DNI, others allowed with just a precaria, in CABA it was possible with only your foreign passport to start the case, you didn't even need to have applied for residency yet
