Does anyone know how the dollar is being kept at 1000 while general inflation of the pesos continues?

Been wondering how to do the same thing for years.

My wife’s passport expired in the middle of the process as well. They were very accommodating they ask that we bring the old and the new to the interview. It didn’t cause any major hiccups. As I said, the entire thing, though long (18 months), was pretty painless if you followed the step by...

One more thing. If you have a scanner you can do almost everything online. The only things that required you to leave your house were: 1. The medical exam. That’s happens at the very end of the process 2. The police report. They didn’t like the online version we had to actually go get this...

I just completed the process in December. I did it the long way. I’m a us citizen and my wife is Argentine. We applied for her green card while living in Argentina. The whole process from application to interview took 18 months. After the interview they give you two/three months to enter the US...

Any one drive the Chevrolet Tracker? It appears to be the most lowest cost SUV around at $17k. Any thoughts on its 1.2L engine?

This is what I use, but need to have a US number 1st to set it up. After its setup the you can delink the US number. I used a friend's number to go through the setup process and was able to delink it immediately. Google voice offers SMS which is great.

Thanks for the advise guys. Yeah I’m looking to buy a used car. Not sure what the taxable limit is but I’m definitely not buying a luxury car.

Hello guys, Anyone know how taxes/AFIP work when we buying a car cash? I can't get financing, because i have no job and no financial presence in Argentina. So I have to buy it cash. But i have been told that buying a car cash will bring some kind of scrutiny from AFIP. Not sure what that...

It might have to do with the person’s taxable status with afip. I am able to send to my wife no problem. But none of my accounts work. Transaction cancelled every time. My wife works “en blanco” and I’m an expat with no financial presence. That might be the difference. Before last week all I...

I’ve tried to send to 3 different accounts with varying amounts using MoneyGram. All transactions were cancelled. The message was the same for each, that the transaction was not accepted by the recipient institution. I’m suspecting this must be something the government is doing. There have...

Guess that answers that. Thanks

I feel like these questions must have been answered before but I could not find the exact answers. So please forgive me if I’m asking for repition. If you have an Argentinian USD savings account: 1. Are there ATMs in CABA that will give you USD? If so which ones? 2. Do you have to have an...

Yeah it’s an old post from 2013. I was looking for updated suggestions. Because the recommendations is this thread are si out of date. I guess should have just started a new thread.

Hi guys. I am looking for a massage therapist and came across this old post. Anyone out there have any updated recommendations? Maybe someone that works in the Palermo area?

This has never been my experience. The rate is always locked in at the time you press send.

Paying for a flight with Brubank can be problematic depending on the cost of ticket. Brubank has a 200,000 peso daily purchase limit. Depending on where you’re going that may not be enough to cover your ticket. I ran into this problem several times and just had to buy the ticket using a US...

I found my apartment last year using this site https://www.zonaprop.com.ar/ You should be able judge prices by looking here. As for nice neighborhoods I’ve lived in all parts Palermo, Recoleta, Belgrano, Colegiales, Villa Urquiza and found them to all be general safe and convenient.

So then I don't understand the math. Unless I am mistaken about wages in buenos aires. I admit I am very ignorant to the economics of Argentina, but people just don't seem to make enough money to buy anything listed. and if that's the case who are buying these houses?

So I'm looking on zonaprop at houses, something with 3 bedrooms and a little backyard space where we can raise two boys. The prices of the listings are the same if not more than homes listed in Miami. Is that right? And if so, who are buying these houses? From what I gather, very few people...
