    Foreign diploma recognition

    I submitted my US diploma for local recognition back in mid-November (already translated into Spanish by an official public translator), and haven't heard anything since. I've e-mailed two addresses that I could find to see if there's any update, but never got a response. Has anyone gone through...

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    I tried to do a search of existing threads, so hopefully I didn't just miss someone else's answer, but: I've heard that there's a $12,000 limit on bringing in USD as an individual. Since rentistas currently have to show $1,300 per month brought into a local bank account in USD, does anyone know...

    Rentista - Freelance/LLC Owner

    Having just gotten my rentista residency approval (woo hoo!), I thought I'd write a couple of notes on my situation for anyone in the future looking for info about whether it's possible to have a successful application as a freelance consultant with clients outside of Argentina. I can't really...

    Any cyclists?

    Aside from myself and @RecumbentRider, does anyone else on here ride bikes? I'm not a serious road racer and don't know how to mountain bike, so I don't know if there are club rides that would be right for me, but I would love to put together some casual bike rides in the city and in nearby...

    Restaurants - Dietary Restrictions/Allergies

    I have a friend coming to visit later this year who, for health reasons, can't eat garlic or onions (or leeks, or shallots, etc.). She can eat food that's been prepared in the same kitchen, but can't eat food that has those vegetables in it. Any advice on restaurants that might be able to...

    Vegetarian-friendly alfajores?

    I should have thought of this earlier, but I didn't realize until today how many alfajores are made with beef fat. Does anyone know of good places to get vegetarian-friendly ones? They don't have to be vegan, dairy/eggs/honey are OK. As far as the bigger brands of packaged ones go, it seems...

    Spanish tutor/class, focused on speaking

    I'm trying to improve my spoken Spanish, since my speaking level is way behind my reading and listening, and I have other ways to practice writing. I've thought about going to language table-style events, but when I've done that in the past I've found that I mostly just get to practice...

    Help w/ DNI for buying a laptop with a card?

    My husband and I are working through the residency application process but don't have DNIs yet. He's trying to buy a new laptop to start a new remote gig, but is running into the issue of not being able to pay for it with a card without having a DNI. He's trying to avoid having to run around...

    Studies at UNA

    Has anyone here enrolled in full-time studies at UNA (Universidad Nacional de las Artes)? I had read somewhere that students could get acceptance but then couldn't enroll in any classes because the university was eternally over-enrolled, and was curious about others' experiences dealing with...

    ISO 2BR starting in March or April for 6-9 months

    Currently looking for a furnished/inclusive 2BR for six to nine months starting in either March or April, and would like to find an alternative to AirBnB if possible. We could extend longer after the initial period, depending on immigration processes. We're open to a lot of different...
