I'm curious about these walking groups too! What is IM in this context: "Look for walking and running groups on IM"?

Which is weird; people asking me for money in Villa Crespo are getting more and more insistent lately. I think I need to start keeping cash at the ready; my Argentine friends often give them a little something, but I don't like to get my wallet out of my bag in this situation. How much do you...

Thanks for the clarification of your source. These days whenever something is well-formatted, with bullet points, it raises alarms for me because (as in Steve's case) words and phrases that co-occur in close textual space can morph into 'facts' and cause LLMs to 'hallucinate'. I'm not a computer...

Just curious, did you get this from AI or another source? I've found it hard to find a definitive, up to date source on whether it's 6 months or 9 months (though I've heard the latter from an immigration attorney). Send a link! I'm less trusting of AI generated answers than a lot of people; for...

Sounds like Bessent is 'The Decider' today? "Congress allows the Treasury secretary to have full control over the use of the exchange stabilization’s funds." Or does the Fed Reserve have a say in it? "Although Bessent said that a central bank swap line is among tools that could be deployed...

This sort of went under the radar, when the Argentine delegation recently got all the way to the USA before they were told the visa-ending ceremony was cancelled. Trump is like Lucy and her football at times; I'll believe it when the money actually changes hands...

Just wanted to mention, came into the country a few days ago and showed the immigration dude my precaria. He didn't ask for proof of insurance or anything like that; curious if tourists are being asked?

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?
