    Returning after a lengthy overstay?

    I lived in Argentina on the 90 day tourist visa for about a year and a half back in 2014-2015. Now I'm thinking about returning just for actual tourism, but I'm worried about getting turned away at the border. I paid the fee before I left as was legally required, and I've gotten a renewed...

    Apartment Strategies For A Gringo

    I'm looking to rent an apartment. Not just a vacation rental, but a real contract. My colleague is able to provide the guarantee, so that main hurdle is out of the way, but now my issues are these: -I speak very little Spanish.

    2 Jobs, One Work Visa?

    I recently arrived to start working as an English teacher for an institute that's sponsoring me for getting a work visa/DNI. However, I recently interviewed for a tech firm that also wanted to hire me, but they can't hire me without having a DNI. They like me enough that they also want to...
