Right now, Lisbon would be the more pleasant place to be. Madrid and Barcelona may be better connected than Lisbon but compared to BA that difference would be nothing. I suspect Lisbon (or Porto) would be overall be cheaper and nicer to live than other major Iberian metropolis. I don't know...

Just wanted to report back that I successfully got my Permanent residence approved on the last day of my temp residency via "union convivencial" with a Argentinian. I was at Migraciones with my conyuge and showed the clerk: - Certificado de union de convivencia, - Argentine Antecedentes...

Def not! Thanks for the advice stevenbsas et al. School is trying to make up for the lost time but I'm afraid that after a certain point we would need be 'oiling' someone within Ministerio de Educacion to help push it through the different dptments. (and to be fair to the uni, Ministerio de...

I also have my doubts. The past few weeks have showed me how much contradictory and insuficiente information there is among different public admin departments. According to DNM and the clerk at Registro Civil permanent residency can now be attained via certificado de Unión Convivencial (which...

I'm in a conundrum, my residency (temporary student residence) is expiring (my dni date is next thursday) and while I have been intending to renew it (because I'm still enrolled at uni) a paperwork f*ckup by the uni has pushed the trámite to last possible minute against my will. Meanwhile...

Temer, an un-elected and un-charismatic president, is playing safe by shielding behind his office. I doubt he could do anything else.

I have CUIL on the back of my DNI extranjero. I haven't looked into what you're asking but I was on a remote workers meetup recently and taxes was one of the topics of presentations. The speakers (Accountants) walked us through the typical remote worker tax arrangement: monotributista - and...

http://www.argentinaindependent.com/currentaffairs/opinion/the-consumption-factor-in-argentine-politics/ Very thorough piece which was originally published at "el diplo". Includes a sequence of tv ads from the 90s and it really help me relate to this (in)famous period of Argentina's life.

For aspotille in UK (aka legalisation) check here: https://www.gov.uk/g...ument-legalised I didn't need the birth certificate for the student temporary residency and they don't seem to be asking for it here either: http://www.migracion...osur_temporaria But it probably won't hurt to have it as...

Anyone knows of new developments on converting the foreign driving license (ideally without having to handover the old one) to an Argentine one? I have a Portuguese driving license and DNI extranjero.

Good thing this is not a "Arab country" then.

I've lost count on the number of uber trips i've taken in BA (over 20 for sure). It's as great experience as it has been anywhere in the world. It's usually cheaper than taxi but taxi here is not expensive so price is not the issue. The "experience" is: - ZERO physical transaction (just get in...

I was told about zona prop and soloduenos, but I wonder how people here would look for a new flat/house these days (rentals).

Well, as with lots of things I'm sure it will depend on the clerks humour at the moment but I read elsewhere about student visa holders specifically allowed to get an account even with precaria and university acceptance letter at BBVA/F and HSBC has this page, and Comafi has this on their page...

Rich One, Just read up on CUG and it seems to fit my medium term needs. Gonna try to get one as soon as the strike stops (just made the mistake to walk to a bank on strike day).

I just got myself a DNI so I'm now thinking of getting a current account to trivial payments, bills, mercadolibre, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation? Do banks charge maintenance fees on current accounts here? Specially if there's no regular incoming deposits?

for the benefit of others who may be looking for info: I applied for a student visa in mid-February and received my DNI today. It was spot on the timeframe they mentioned and before the precaria was up. Will last me an year and explicitly allows holders to work. I will have to go through the...

Thank you both. Just check and it went through. ;)

About 2 months ago I filed for a student residency and got a precaria for 3 months. Does anyone know if there's a way to check the status of my application?

I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to start looking for a office space for rent in Capital Federal. I need to use it for occasional meetings so I could rent hourly but honestly would prefer a monthly rental if the price is right. Does anyone any starting point for this search? Any...
