Update: Some ATM's had the USD options, others did not….Likewise, some currency exchange shops (at the Villazon border) offered the option to buy Bolivianos for USD, others did not. In general, if you see an ATM that will dispense USD, take out everything you can! Don't wait and assume you'll...

Thanks for your input, guys! I will let you know how it goes

Hi everyone, I did a big of digging around and I can't seem to find a clear yes/no on this one….Can USD be withdrawn from Bolivian ATMs? Most frequent answer is "it depends on the ATM", but if someone has been recently to Villazon and/or Tupiza (where I will be starting a Salar de Uyuni tour)...

I am in the process now, heading to the AFIP office that corresponds to my residence tomorrow morning; I'll report back what I find out!

In my experience, it is not possible until you are a resident. I am a temporary resident, and thus have DNI and CUIL, the minimum requirements for opening what is called the "Cuenta de Ahorros Universal gratuita, the 'free for everyone and can't get rejected account") I brought to the bank the...

Hi, I was wondering if you ended up getting your monotributista status in the end? What was the process? I have my DNI, CUIL, and a bank account here, but want to get the lowest category of monotributista (income of less than 10k per month). I am on AFIP's website but the majority of the...

Update: Due to VERY recent changes to the requirements for Chileans entering the USA, there is no longer any fee or tramite associated with USA passport holders entering Chile via Santiago's airport. I was able to enter using my DNI, and my travel companion (a USA passport holder) was...

yes please! Send me the details when you have a moment. Side note- if anyone is renting 2 bedroom apartment, message me! Thanks!

Are you guys the best or what?! All great input and it seems to be one of those situations where I will hope for the best (flash my DNI and get through for free), but be prepared for the worst (bring my passport, of course, and $160 in hand just in case). Thanks for all the fantastic input! I...

Hi everyone, I have done some research online and can't seem to find a definitive answer on this: I am a USA passport holder, but also have an Argentine DNI (temporary residence). When I travel to Chile next week, will it suffice to show my DNI, or will they ask to see a passport? I am asking...

Hi Ingrid, 70 or 80 pesos an hour is the going rate! I charge up to 85 (depending on how much preparation I need to do in advance for the classes and the students level).

Hi everyone! Glad to see these questions brought up right now because I am about to arrive to BsAs with an iPhone 5 I have been using with Verizon wireless here in the USA. The phone is unlocked and I'm planning to buy a prepaid sim and use the 1 peso a day wifi. I'm not sure if anyone has...

Hi Nick, I am moving to buenos aires in a few weeks to begin my masters degree and can send you a list of all the documents and certifications you will need. Send me a private message and ill forward you the list of what you'll need! Sarah

Hi nshyi032- I completely missed your post from yesterday when I wrote my earlier response! I could not agree more with your statement about it being nerve-wracking to commit to a place without seeing it in person, but thankfully (in some weird, twisted way!) I have gone through the apartment...

Okay, so now adding Thai and Indian spices to the list of things to bring with me ;) Thanks for the advice, NYKate!!

Eggs Benedict (and runny egg yolks, in general) are my biggest weakness! haha, good thing I enjoy cooking and can get my fix at home when I'm desperate! I am a die hard foodie, though, and look forward to trying LOTS of different foods while in BA. Stomach grumbles just thinking about the...

Hi Esllou, You bring up some very good points. I read the Guardian article and am now looking at the course's website, I realize they do not have any of the typical classroom training hours that are required for a course to be 'legitimate'. I'm going to give them a call today to see what they...

Thank you, everyone! I spoke with my landlord yesterday and he confirmed that it will be no problem for me to transfer the USD directly into his USA bank account. He seems like a very reasonable and kind person, so I'm hoping if the situation came up where I was earning enough in Argentina to...
