Does anyone know if Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir w/ ritonavir,) covid treatment is available in Argentina? If so, how do you get it? We don't have covid now, but think it very likely we will get it in the coming weeks/months. We are old and want to be prepared.

Any advice on how much to give our long-time building porter as a regalito for Christmas/ i.e. year-end tip?

The answer to this may be somewhere on this site but I don’t know how to find it. So apologies if it is redundant. I “own” an apartment in Buenos Aires. What I am wondering is exactly what it is that I own. I am familiar with New York real estate where there are condos and co-ops. The...

We have tickets to arrive in Buenos Aires from the U.S. this Friday. My husband is a citizen and I am a permanent resident. We have our PCR tests underway, and I know about the DDJJ form. But on the Delta website I see that we must have the CuidAR app installed. We have, in fact, succeeded...

My husband and I have been in the US since February. But we are getting our covid vaccinations now and are thinking about returning to Argentina for a couple of months. We are wondering if it is worth it. Is life there still very locked down and limited? He is an Argentine citizen and I’m a...

It is my experience that many of the items in the Chino supermercados are substandard. Some are out of date, or nearly so. Others have been poorly stored and handled and others are counterfeit. After many bad experiences with supposedly brand-name wines bought at Chinos, we now only buy wine...

A friend is traveling to Buenos Aires In October. She has been advised to bring US cash to last the month but she is worried about the safety of having it in her rented apartment. Would she be much worse off financially relying on ATMs and not bringing so much cash? I haven’t been there for a...

I am a U.S. citizen with permanent residency (rentista) in Argentina. I recently got married in the U.S. to an Argentine national. I am not interested in Argentine citizenship, and I already have residency, so is there any reason that we would want to inform the Argentine government that we...

When I came back from a trip the other day, something in my watch got hung up when I changed the hour. I am looking for someone who can fix the mechanism without ruining it beyond repair. Does anyone know a good watch repair person? I am in el centro but location isn't all that important. I...

I will be eligible this week for permanent residency after three years of visas for temporary residency. But looking at the tax laws, I am thinking it might be better to stay a temporary resident, to avoid taxes on worldwide assets. I am planning to split my time half and half between here and...

Does anyone here have experience with medical treatment for spider veins in legs and ankles? What kind of treatment works best, laser or injections? Any good doctors? Does insurance, specifically Medicus, cover it? Is this something I should do in the U.S. or in Argentina? Any info greatly...

I have temporary residency via a rentista visa. When it comes up for the third renewal next spring, I should be able to get permanent residency. My question is if there is a MINIMUM number of days I must be in Argentina during the year in order to qualify for the renewal/change of status to...

Does anyone know for sure under the current rules how many dollars in cash an Argentine (not a tourist or expat) can carry out of the country? I am not talking about acquiring dollars, only about taking them out through Ezeiza. I looked at the AFIP website, and I think it says that you don't...

Does anyone know if you still need to have an Argentine bank account to renew a rentista residency? It appears to me that you don't. I looked at both the government website http://www.argentina.gob.ar/tramites/179-pr%C3%B3rroga-de-residencia-temporaria-como-rentista.php and also the Migraciones...

Four of us will have a seven-hour layover in Ushuaia on a Saturday in the middle of March. Can anyone suggest a guide with vehicle we can get to pick us up at the airport, show us around and deliver us back to the airport? This may be our only chance ever to see the area. We will also be...

Can anyone tell me the procedure for getting one? I need to go soon to renew my rentista visa. The government website says that I need the following 5 items. I have the other 4 but don't know what I need to do to get the Certificado de carencia de antecedentes penales/Certificate of lack of...
