    Banco Nacion At Ezeiza - No Longer Buying Pesos

    A friend was in town. She had about 5 thousand pesos left over. It wasn't convenient for me to meet up with her and buy them back, so I told her to change them at the airport at Banco Nacion, like people have done for years. She just sent me a message. The Banco Nacion at the airport is not...

    1-Day Overstay

    When I bought my flight, I entered "90 days" in the search engine. For whatever reason, when my flight departs, I will have spent 91 days in Argentina. When you overstay the 90-day visa, even by a day, does your name go on a "list of usual suspects" or are there any other potential future...

    Magic Bullet

    I brought a Magic Bullet from the US to Argentina. For some strange reason, even with the transformer from 220 to 110, it won't work. When I plug it in, it makes a light humming noise, like it is trying to get going, but the blades don't start turning. Has anyone else had this problem with this...

    I'm in the process of renting an apartment in BA. I got a rental contract from a duena.

    I have been out of BA about 6 months now. I have heard that Macri is making lots of changes. I will return to BA in a month and a friend is asking for a new Apple Iphone. Is it now permitted to bring this into Argentina undeclared? Or do items such as this still need to be declared and taxes...

    Cad/cam Dental Implants In Ba

    Does anyone know of a dentist, or more appropriately, an implantologista, in Buenos Aires that is using the CAD/CAM technology? From what I read, this makes the final steps of an implant take only a one-hour visit, as opposed to multiple appointments over two weeks with the old technology. Thanks.

    I will be traveling soon and I just moved into a new apartment. Several people in the building have told me that the portero is a known thief. I keep several thousand dollars in cash in the apartment and there is no safe. And no, I can't install one because it is a "historic building." So I...

    Laptop Selection & Prices In Uruguay

    So I brought two laptops down here from the US. Surely both of them would not go out at the same time. Well, they did. What is the laptop selection like in Uruguay? And the prices (i.e. taxes)? Thanks.

    Opening A Bank Account

    The new requirement for the residencia rentista is an argentine bank account. I have been to four banks now and have been turned down by all of them. They all seem want slightly different things, but the biggest sticking point has been the fact that I don't have argentine income. I provided...
