Ok this may be a silly one but I checked the old threads before posting and didn't see anything. I'm in Monte Grande. In local stores the only garlic and pepper they sell are in the little plastic bags that kids sold weed in back in highschool when it was illegal. Salt is no problem. Went to...

I'm gonna buy some eye drops, possibly a guitar amp, definitely a microphone (I'm into music), girlfriend wants some candy I've never heard of. All my electronics are up to date so no new lap tops etc. Anything you like to buy or find very difficult to get here? Thanks!

High forum friends, I know this topic has come up before, but it looks like the information has changed so I want to do a 2026 version here. I have transferred Western Union to myself a few times since I've been here, to pick up in effectivo. I now have an account with Galicia, and I was...

Hi friends, First thanks as always to everyone who helps here. I backed out of an apartment deal today. The landlord/immobiliara wrote in the contract that I would have to go to Canning once a month to pay the rent from Monte Grande. 8 kilómetros. I know things are different here but that was...

Hi, I sent myself 2,000,000 pesos. Western Union just told me they can give me the money but I have to wait an hour for verification. Is that normal? Using US passport for ID. What's the trigger point to have that? I've used Western Union a handful of times. This is a first. Thanks.

Hi friends, I am hopefully moving into a new apartment this month, if the landlord isn't covering utilities (waiting on contract info) how long does it take to get things up and running? Can I do it without a DNI? If not my girlfriend can use hers... I think. Aside from not having furniture...

Hi friends, I know this topic has been on here before, but it seems like it's an ever-changing subject so I wanted to ask now that I am here full time. What's everyone's strategy with day-to-day spending? How do you pay your rent? How often do you use an ATM as opposed to Western Union? How...

Hi friends, I spoke with my lawyer today, I have received my precaria. I have to go back to the United States in June for work, the lawyers told me that if I leave various times, the process gets delayed. What's everyone's experience been with that? I was planning on traveling out of Argentina...

Hi friends, I have arrived in Argentina, no DNI yet, working on getting out of the Airbnb bubble. Seems a lot of places I have spoke to require almost triple the rent to move in after all is said and done, the fees don't bother me, I just want to know if this is standard practice. Thank you.

Hi friends, I am looking at the paperwork from my lawyer, it says I'll need proof of a home address in Argentina. Other than Airbnb, I don't have anything I could think of to use as an address, I need a dni to sign a rental contract, I need a dni for utilities, but I can't get the DNI until I...

Did anyone do this for your rentista visas? W2s, Bank account statements, dividend earnings. What was the process? I am searching Google and chatgpt and they are pretty much saying it cannot be done. But my lawyer seems certain it can be Thanks.

I tracked the package, they received it with my check about a month ago. Now, the check is still not cleared. Wondering how long it takes to get back to me?

Coming to BA in April in Airbnb for a month. In the process of rentista visa, what did you do to rent before that with no DNI? I can pay several months in advance or the whole contract in advance for the areas I'm looking at but not sure how to tackle utilities. Or if this will be generally...

Hi friends I would like to live in Argentina, but I would also like to be traveling out of Argentina every 6 months or so, I now know I can qualify for a rentista Visa (already paid a law firm for the consultation on this), but I am doing my best to not get too immersed in the Argentina tax...

Hi friends, I searched the titles before posting this, seems like its not come up. I'm wondering the pros and cons of each Visa? Seems like Student Visa is a little less paperwork, and a good idea to get a solid year in if I'm not 100% sure on staying forever, but the rentista also seems...

Hi friends, my first Forum post. I'm looking to retire to Buenos Aires next year. I've already done a little bit of homework on line. I know that the ultimate answer is going to be to talk to an accountant here in Buenos Aires, but I just wanted to start getting my feet wet and I like to do as...
