    Price Of English Lessons

    I taught for two different language companies in Buenos Aires. Depends on your clients but I would say roughly 100 pesos/hour. You might be able to get away with something like 120 or a little bit more but you would be lucky. I might even say, 150 but willing to negotiate. Your client would...

    Netflix - No More Proxy

    I always use Smart DNS. Instead of using a VPN it changes your DNS. That has always worked for me, and I can quickly switch between netflix usa and argentina. It's great getting 2x the content. sometimes movies that arent on netflix usa are on netflix argentina and viceversa. I hope they...

    Tourist Visa Renewal At Ezeiza

    I left the country with no problems, when I got to the airport I went to the customs immigration stand, next to the arrival doors and they gave me a piece of paper that I took to the bank on the other side of the arrival doors then back to the customs stand. They gave me a piece of paper that...

    More Argentina -Requirements When Collecting Cash

    I just went through this today. I've been sending money with xoom and picking up at more for almost two years now, and every time it's been easy. I was surprised when they asked me to fill out another form and email bank statements. I emailed my credit card statements and they wouldn't accept...

    Tourist Visa Renewal At Ezeiza

    I'm going to be extra early for my flight. To buy my daughters plane ticket and to take care of tourist visa. Someday I'll deal with becoming a resident through my argentine wife so I won't have to deal with the tourist visa again.

    Prices Electronics

    If I understand correctly, their false sense of grandeur causes the powers at hand, to rely on argentine industry to compete with the rest of the world. To further this belief they have tried to influence people to buy local products by having extremely high import tax on electronics. I think...

    Tourist Visa Renewal At Ezeiza

    I'm leaving Argentina via Ezeiza in two weeks, and I've overstayed my tourist visa by almost two years. From what I understand you check in, then go to migrations near taxi Ezieza and then pay the fine at the bank and then go back to migrations then back to airline check in. Has anyone done...

    Tourist Visa Renewal At Ezeiza

    I know this has been discussed hundreds of times but I thought I would just ask (forgive me for being lazy and not looking this up on the migraciones websites). Has anyone paid the fee recently. My tourist visa expired June 2014 but I'm going back to the USA and figured I'd pay at Ezieza...

    Is Palermo Very Noisy?

    I'm not sure what the definition of noisy really is. If city noise is noisy then Palermo is noisy. If neighbors playing loud music (and other neighborly noises) at ungodly hours is noisy than yes Palermo is noisy. However you can get very lucky and find apartments that have minimal street...

    Changes I Want To See With The New President

    You can't be for less inflation and also want bills higher than 100. As soon as a 500 peso bill comes out a ten and twenty peso bill becomes obsolete and all of the sudden you have real inflation and kids playing will stacks of bills in the streets.

    Importing Stuff From Amazon\ebay Under Black Friday?

    I concur with others, just don't do it. Have a no mail, no package policy while in Argentina. You don't ever want to have to go to Retiro correo Argentina to pick something up and you definitely don't want to go to aduana cargo at EzeizA. The only way you can sort of guarantee receiving...

    Buying Baby Plane Ticket At Ezieza

    Our baby will be a month and a half. I wish we could buy a seat and take a baby seat carrier which people say is ideal but I can't spend another 1500 dollars. I'm beginning to be an expert on flying with a baby, at least an expert at watching YouTube videos on how to fly with a baby. We're...

    Buying Baby Plane Ticket At Ezieza

    My wife and I bought our plane tickets to fly out next month on delta. They told us that we needed to buy the ticket for our baby at ezeizA. We are poor and couldn't afford to buy a seat for the baby so we are just going to hold her in our lap. They still charge taxes and I think 10% of the...

    How Is Buenos Aires Compared To 2 Years Ago?

    I've lived here in 2004-2006, visited in 2007,2010 and have lived in Palermo since March 2014. I don't think much has changed, overall. Yes there are some nice things, more wifi, subway (sandwich) places are everywhere. More police on the corners. Sube cards, HD tv, more clearly marked...
