Thanks everyone! Off to get photos!

Where can one obtain passport photos? I'm not even sure what kind of place to look for.Copy shops? Recoleta preferred, but Retiro and Palermo are both easy to get to.

To all - For future reference, Alamo allows cross-border travel to Paraguay. Edit: Or not. I was told by a customer service rep that they did, but when I called the local dealer they said no. The long distance buses don't allow animals, period, even if I buy them their own seats, so that isn't...

I should clarify that I have pets, which is why this is all so difficult.

Hey All, Does anybody know a car rental agency that permits going to Paraguay? I talked to Tango (no leaving the country at all) and Avis (Chile/Uruguay only). My other option is to buy a car, which is what I've been pursuing, but I realized I have no idea how long the paperwork will take and...

The Certificado de Domicilio is definitively required. I went yesterday to apply for my CDI and was asked for it immediately, even though there's no mention of it on the website. Go figure.

Routing to facebook.com is normal (via Miami) for me on Telecentro (I also tried the specific server you hit, same thing).

You guys honestly think Argentina is third world? Hoo boy. Anywhere you can easily get high-end imported goods and all the streets are paved isn't exactly third world. Argentina's GDP (PPP) per capita is 51st out of 180 countries (that's the 71st percentile for those of you playing at home)...

Yeah, somehow I don't think the victims are at fault for assholes breaking the law. Even if they weren't street smart. Even if they didn't have the "look". Educating people is great, blaming is not. That said, I'm a woman who dresses in jeans and t-shirts, so I think I stand out like a sore...

Awww. I'd love him, but my landlord would absolutely kill me. I can help sponsor him, though, if money is an issue.

I paid 300 pesos/$50 dollars, but that was with pets. $70 seems outrageous.

Yeah, no job =(. Although it sounds like getting there is going to be pretty expensive. Stupid animals. =D

Trying to figure out how to get to Paraguay with a dog (30kilos) and a cat. Options I know I have: 1) Flying. About 500pp + the animals + documentation etc etc. 2) Renting a car - Looks like it would be around $900 to rent a car. Ouch. Maybe Options: 3) Private driver? might be cheaper. But I...

Looks like Info Salarial needs a sysadmin - I get a MySQL db error when I try to go for your link. Another friend suggested 9k pesos as a minimum, so it looks like I have some consensus. Also, if I'm working en blanco, what percentage of my pay should I expect to lose to payroll taxes?

I was in the Peace Corps in Paraguay. As of 2006, you could live comfortably in Asuncion for $500 USD/month. Realistically priced furnished housing is probably the hardest issue with Asuncion, not that it's great in BsAs either. Asuncion is very isolated and provincial in comparison to Buenos...

I'm interviewing for a job and it seems like we're getting close to negotiation time. Wanted some of your ideas of what my skillset should be worth on the local market: - 5 years systems administration experience, both windows and linux - 3 years desktop support (softwall installs, active...

Look into "emotional support animals". Basically, you get a doctor's note and you can take the animals with you, onboard, for free.

If you are white, you won't be a visible minority in Argentina. I get walked up to all the time and asked for directions, and I am white-bread white.

Also, if you'd like to meet up with my girlfriend and I, let me know!

Join up with the frinkers on meetup. We've been going the last couple of week, lots of nice people.
