Problem is we're renting my girlfriend's sister's apartment so we don't have a real contract. Perhaps we can make one for the purpose unless it has to be stamped by escribano. I can also ask her to write me a declaration that I live in her property if that would fly, although Certificado de...

I've got a permanent residence and DNI as I mentioned before. What I don't have is a bill on my name. As for transferring money out I've found a way thanks to the good folks in this forum :)

What a great idea, Dublin2BuenosAires! I'm in Barrio Norte, so Recoleta cem is fine but another location would work too. We should aim for a place that's not too crowded or go at a time that's not too busy. Are we set on a sports bar?

I'm in the same situation- Have permanent residence and DNI but no bills on my name. Let me know if you find a way around it or a bank that would accept certificado de domicilio

Bulgarian. Lived in the US for 7 years. Met a beautiful Argentine girl there and here I am 2 years later on with a lovely 4 month old baby girl. Love to travel and explore new places and cultures. Enjoy sports and debating. Open to expat activities and events

That's highly optimistic. I agree that by entering money into the system that would benefit the economy (not the government) but then the government could just make a law saying whoever invests in real estate, there will be no questions asked. Thus save itself the trouble of making and...

Can you specify what do you mean by a private bank and what commission are you referring to? Technically all banks are private

No, I wouldn't even think about transferring money in, rather transfer money out of the country. thanks for the warning

My situation is a little different than that of the OP. I have a permanent residence and a DNI (of the new ones that say extranjero across) but I don't have any utilities on my name as I am renting an apartment. Not even my cell phone bill comes on my name as I am in a group so it goes to the...

No, problems at all, you can go out of the boat, enter Uruguay and then turn around and go back on the same boat. You pay 300 pesos and nobody cares how long you overstayed. If you haven't renewed it too many times you should be able to do it at Migraciones near Retiro, you just pay 300 pesos...

You got quite an imagination. I love the way you filled the missing pieces of information in order to make sense and support your original theory (that they were idiots). You should consider a career in writing (movie script / novel) or even better in politics :D

It was possible to buy tickets in the past but now they don't allow it if the flight doesn't originate in Arg. I wonder how would Argies who are abroad buy a ticket to go home :confused:

I second that. The government is also launching the Cedin (an alternative currency to be used on the real estate market) and they want to trade it at a ratio peso/dolar 7/1. Their goal is by the end of the year to have 6-7-8, dollar white-Cedin-Dollar blue. This is highly improbable because the...

Does that mean that if I use the ayuda familiar option to transfer money, AFIP is not going to charge me the extra 20%? Also do they need a proof of family connection and if yes what kind?

Did it in july and it took less than an hour to get the approval, then u go to the bank to change the money

I think supermercados DIA have some of the best prices. Their promotions are great and don't require a credit card. I am not sure if they are i all neighbourhoods though.

That seems very interesting. Is that a wholesaler like Costco in the US and if so do they require a paid membership? Also do they deliver? Thanks

Hi everyone, Congrats! I recently moved to BA. We are expecting a babygirl in Feb with my Argentinian girlfriend. It would be great to exchange some ideas and help each other out as having a baby in a foreign country could be challenging.

Hi I would like to play Tennis as well. I am beginner - intermediate. I live in Montserrat and checked out a few tennis courts in San Cristobal under the autopista but their prices seem pretty high. Where do you guys usually play? Let me know if you want to play. Right now I can play any day or...

Thanks for the info. It's quite useful. You made a reference to Costa Rica. A friend of mine went there on vacation a few years ago and was telling me how beautiful and affordable it was. I wonder how nobody mentioned it in this thread. Do you know anything about the price of living there nowadays?
