Hey all, I earn in the US and have been sending myself money via western union from my US bank account to my argentinean bank account for years, but I received a notice this week from my bank that things have changed with AFIP and if I do not have any earnings declared with AFIP, I can only...

I know its a long shot but found out Im getting kicked out of my apartment after 5 years so they can turn it into an airbnb (dont even get me started) and the rental market is a nightmare right now, so trying whatever I can. Hoping for a 3 ambientes in or around Villa Crespo if anyone knows of...

Hey everyone, so, Ive been told by a few people that the following items (in addition to background checks, domicilio, etc) are acceptable to prove that I have passive income from a rental property to get the rentista visa: - copy of the deed to prove i own the house - copy of the lease - a...

hey all, looks like our favorite public transport site is expanding to cover most of the metropolitan BA area, at last! lots of other improvements listed on the site as well (currently in beta). Just saw the news on twitter and wanted to share as i know its a pretty common question how to search...

after being yelled at too many times by some fashion conscious friends for wearing white socks, I went to alto palermo in search of some basic solid colored dark socks, and all I could find were crazy designed pairs, a few to choose from in each store, for $80-100 a pair. Anyone know any place...

Hey all, so as it looks like Im going to be staying for a while but not with my current job, I'm looking to apply for a rentista visa as I have a house that I rent in the states that should cover the requirements. I understand that there seems to be lots of speculation that the min requirement...

Hey all, I tried searching import tax but didnt find anything relevant. My question is, if I have a tourist friend entering, can he legally bring in imported items, as long as he is willing to pay a tax? The reason I ask is because I'm interested in ordering 100-200 of a small, inexpensive item...

Hey all, I'm happy to report that after 9 months, my temporary residency was approved for 1 year on November 20. My question is, now do I just wait for my DNI to get delivered to my house? Do I need to do something else? Is there somewhere online I can check the status of the DNI or do I just...

Hey all - me again :) I tried to search this topic but couldn't find anything. My question is - if I've overstayed my tourist visa by a few months, but since received my residencia precaria, do I still need to pay the overstay fee on the original tourist visa? Or is that now completely null and...

http://www.clarin.com/politica/Mc-Donalds-Argentina-quedo-Ketchup_0_1078092565.html while things like this (or most restaurants usually being out of half their menu) are minor annoyances, I still argue that it's really refreshing that I can't always get whatever I want whenever I want it.

Hey everyone - of course there are millions of visa threads, but I didnt see any related to a work visa. Im actually a little concerned because I have an appointment on Thursday with immigrations to get a sort of work visa (as I'll be here working for most of this year), and the lawyer my...

Don't recall hearing anything about it, but took the bus yesterday and I asked for $1.60 and was charged $2.70, and the driver said something I didn't understand, so I'm assuming there was some sort of fare increase?

Hey everyone, I'm writing because a good friend of mine is giving a free workshop this Sunday focused on Castellano pronunciation. It's open to anyone, regardless of skill level, who's interested in learning a little more about the language and is a way to gain some more awareness over the...

Hey guys - anyone had any experience bringing in an electric guitar? Everyone's told me "they won't give you any problems since you're an american" but wondering if anyone had any first hand experience about this kind of thing? I'm not sure if they're still going to try to tax me since it's a...

Hi all, I realize this is extremely trivial, but I woke up with a nasty cold, which for me means going through 1-2 boxes of kleenex in the next 2 days, and I always relied on my handy puffs plus lotion back in the states in these situations to avoid the pain associated with going through 1-2...

hey all - as Ive been here well over a month now, it's time to get the hairs cut. I know there have been a few topics about this before, but it seems those are pretty out of date now from what i was able to search. wondering if anyone has any recos for english speakers (preferably near Palermo...

Hey everyone, after a month here, I'm finally getting out of the city for a 5 or 6 days and heading to the Jujuy province with some couchsurfers I haven't even met yet (all part of my "break out of the comfort zone" goal for my time in Argentina haha). Just wondering if anyone had any...

Sadly, I suffer from pretty nasty seasonal allergies back in the states. With Spring coming up here, I'm wondering if you can buy something like Zyrtec-D or Claritin-D(allergy medication with decongestant) at the farmacia freely, or at all? In the states, you can only buy one box per week...
