    Chorizo opinions

    Unless you have a butcher you know and like the chorizos he sells ( I don't and there aren't many real butcher stores in Recoleta anymore ) I like Magret brand chorizos ( chorizo fresco > beef + pork ) they also have 100 % pork but I am not a fan of pork only chorizos, it is a personal taste...

    When an American dies here... question

    an escribano can draft the document in a way that it will be taken into account by a judge in these kind of situations, it can be a poa, hand written letter with certified signatures, etc. As long as registered good as not involved. Still because of Arg law, the next of kin will always be...

    When an American dies here... question

    Bottom line: get a power of attorney, it is not expensive ( about 150 dollars )

    When an American dies here... question

    If the person dies in a medical facility, police is not involved and they will contact the embassy to locate family or relatives. Legally the rental contract ends if the tenant passes. The landlord can change the lock and make an inventory. If next of kin cannot be located and there is no...

    When an American dies here... question

    I was somewhat involved in a similar situation last year. When a person dies in a rented apartment and is alone, whomever notices the situation has to call the police and SAME ( medical emergency ). Usually an autopsy is in order. The police will notify the embassy and contact the next of kin of...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I am by no means an expert in economy, however I remember at some point with CFK dollar was kept very low but Argentines were seeing a benefit. I don't think it is the case now at all. I am not saying that it was good, but at least the common people had money to spend. Right now the only ones...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I have no idea, the current one is not real. It was not with the previous administration either.

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I think the current administration has become dependent on the current US administration, so much that if one falls, the other one follows. Except for a few specific sectors, the economy is stalled here. Unemployment is on the rise and prices for most goods have become ridiculous considering the...

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    I did have to enter SWIFT code and my account number. I see Citi has two services for international transfers, make sure you choose the regular one, not the one that requires you to subscribe.

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    I did it all online through homebanking. There is a cap on the amounts you can transfer to third parties but if both accounts are under your name, you must use code A07 that has no limits and it gets processed right away, no need to talk to anybody and no need to show and papers, etc...

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    I just went through the exact opposite situation: I have both accounts under my name and transferred from Santander to TD Bank, under code A07 and it went through within minutes, commission was 0.2% from Santander, and 15 usd on TD to get the wire. It all took less than 24 hours. My Santander...

    Proof of means/income when applying for permanent residency (and later on citizenship)

    What Alby said is correct. The only instance where you could use a sponsor y citizenship ( your wife ). At any point, once you have your DNI through any kind of legal residency, you can register to monotributo ( self employed ) with ARCA, just so any income you make is en blanco. In Argentina a...

    Temporary Resident buying used car + international USD transfer

    I recently sold a vehicle and priced it is usd, not because of my own relocation, but psychologically setting these prices in pesos in the tens of millions just makes it look like a ton of money (too many zeros)

    Temporary Resident buying used car + international USD transfer

    I strongly suggest you hire a company to get the car inspected and scanned before you buy it. Kavak and similar sell cars in poor shape as much as other used car dealers. It is best to deal with a private, but you need to be careful. Try not to buy vehicles from Facebook marketplace. Never deal...

    Apparently they are not a thing anymore especially among younger generations, Airbnb options and dating apps have changed the love scene in the last years.

    The Senior Apartments

    I was actually watching a news report a few weeks ago and they were talking about how love hotels ( telos ) are quietly going out of business in the city and how developers and companies are acquiring these buildings to turn them into assisted living facilities.
