I'm kind of surprised people are willing to go along with this.

Sounds like the "special account" method works better than actually renting a property out. I'm still in limbo after more than six months, plus the added hassle of leases and deeds getting updates and translation. It's the hard way. They haven't even looked at my file, and I don't blame them...

What are we to make of this? Do we suspect this was a special case or are they generally getting more prickly? https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Noticias/Tiktoker-volvio-a-Uruguay-y-se-entero-de-que-no-podia-reingresar-a-Argentina-por-que-uc947056

Sew you there!

Slightly off topic but doesn't the government have some bills coming due in January? Loans and bonds or something? I was under the impression Bessent would just bail them out until the tab reaches $20B.

My father's partner had to permanently hide his guns when his Alzheimer's started ramping up. She only told us after he died how afraid she was. He would see strangers that weren't there around sundown. I remember as a curious child coming across his pistol in a drawer; rifles and shotguns were...

I wish it weren't true, but I think that ship has sailed. Some of the most popular stories in the news are jubilados defending their houses against robbers, even shooting them in the back as they flee. There's so much mockery of the left on social media, and part of it is probably bots; but...

Haha I'm not sure I'm so adventurous, but short of relocating to El Chalten, I was curious if there was a 'hiking spot'. In NYC you could jump on the train and go a couple hours north to hiking (and obviously that's a big city too). I lived there for a decade before I realized it was possible on...

So what's the nature fun plan in the Delta? Can you row out beyond the residential part, or is that too far? Hop off on an island and hike (or would you sink in the mud)? I do have a friend with an island house, but it seems more like a yard than 'nature'. Where's the nearest nature-nature (as...

I'm with rl45, I miss some 'easy' products from the states in particular pancake mix. I know I could do it myself, but I never feel that ambitious in the morning. I miss crickets and cicadas chirping. And as a Coloradan, easy access to nature.

As a former New Yorker (15 years), I suspect our Taiwanese friend spent even less time there than in BA. Mamdani's proposals make sense to that particular situation, and that's why he won. As an American whose tax dollars are being spent to keep the peso artificially high (thus making life more...

Not the news I was hoping for as I'm seemingly stalled out in the process of getting from precaria to temporary visa rentista. Sounds like they want their own version of ICE? "The government is finalizing the technical details to formalize the creation of a new immigration agency that will...

Sorry, Javier: "No one leaving New York City because of Mamdani, say two top real estate CEOs" https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/new-york-city-mayor-zohran-mamdani-real-estate-ceos.html

Our meetup is a tiny segment (at an awkward time for people with jobs, as you said, so it's mostly retired folks), but there's also Mundo Lingo, which is mobbed with young expats. I see a different crowd at Trivia night, and a different crowd at the philosophy meetup, etc. If the 30,000 figure...

Weird, my lawyer seems to be having problems uploading docs yesterday and today. Wonder if there's a system problem?

When you say expats I think you mean gringo temporary/permanent residents? I'm not sure I know who's an expat vs tourist in Palermo. There are venezuelans and Bolivians who I suspect might go home if the economic situation reversed. No one knows if they're here for good; even in the USA I knew...

It seems the Argentines love any musician or celebrity who manages to make their way down here. Was there ever a famous Yankee who was met with a big yawn from the media, or criticism?

So before you clarified, I sent a screenshot of the application to renew the precaria along with the expired precaria (which had been rejected before)... and wouldn't you know it, the bank approved the liquidation. So, thanks! Even if I misunderstood, it did the trick.

This is my situation; I could just WU money to myself, but migraciones wants the money deposited for the visa rentista to originate from the account where my rental income is deposited. I think I have more than 5 days 'in limbo', from what I recall it's 30 days or something at Santander. What do...

YOW. Any idea why it took that long? Was that during the pandemic? It's annoying for me at the moment because I have money sitting en route from a wire transfer, and the bank won't liquidate it until i get my unexpired precaria.
