You could establish a presence in BA now at least virtually with a free (or paid), 1h class 5 or 3 times a week with any of the "meet" apps, if you had the time. Outside chance of making a connection in the mean time. Maybe stupid idea, but I am totally amazed at our experience. After 2 years...

How is the transfer done from your US bank to WU. Does WU have an online setup where you authorize them to withdraw the specified amount of money from your US bank, which they send to WU/BA?

Yes, that was on the original hospital bill. Look closer in the AETNA "Explanation of Benefits" in response to the hospital bill. You will see several columns of hospital charges, allowable charges, what AETNA paid, and what you are obligated to pay. AETNA did not pay $10 for a bandaid, nor did you.

Really? You're hanging your hat on a tabloid that claimes this tuberculosis treatment is the answer to covid? This tabloid article is a joke, blaming the US with comparisons of new, still developing statistics (you couldn't be any more unscientific). The virus's damage has barely begun and is...

If you had the "top-rate medical insurance", how could you have been billed for a band aid unless you purchased your insurance plan in the back of a comic book. In the US when you have medical insurance, secretarial personnel in the records, financial departments in the hospital submit your bill...

You are mixing the care/experience of patients with and without insurance. I have heard descriptions of US health care from people outside the US. It's always inaccurate. In the US, people without insurance and possibly with second rate insurance wait in emergency rooms, but that's not normal...

Curious where people entering/reentering the country are quarantined. Are people with homes/apt allowed to self quarantine? Is it different for citizens and foreigners? Are they taken somewhere by authorities? Are there choices?

My wife and I are wondering about the effects on the availability of rentals and cost increases from the Copa America matches between 12 June to 12 July. We have been planning to land in BA for a year beginning end of June. We have been looking at areas around the 3 Mitre line stations closest...

The more I examine the visas, I think the answer to my question is yes. For a former government employee, you look for exact terms and definitions. Short of that, the Family Reunification Visa logically appears to be for dependents and is probably referred to as a "dependent visa". Still, its...

Option 2, the Consular visa: On line 30 of the Mercosur consular visa application, it asks for the name of the applicant's spouse and information. And then it asks "Do they travel with you" "CONYUGE apellidos, nombres, nacionalidad, fecha de nacimiento, ¿viaja con usted?" This appears to be the...

And thank you too. Just one clarification: Are you referring to me? I would be applying as a dependent, based on my wife's Mercosur visa. As I mentioned above, I fear that if my wife received a Tourist visa stamp upon arrival while planning to apply for a Mercosur visa and immediately began to...

Thank you for this. So many helpful people on this forum. I was wondering from the beginning if there was a dependent based visa and now surprised this was not mentioned in responses to our inquiries at the Argentine embassy in Bogota. Nevertheless, is great news for me. It could be more...

Very helpful, thanks. I've been a resident of Colombia for 8 years, so I imagine the Colombian criminology report is the equivalent of the FBI report. Also, I recently got a letter from the US Embassy addressed to Colombia Migracion verifying my Social Security payments for the same purpose...

Based on what I've found regarding a Rentista Visa, (mostly from this forum, big thanks, terrific help on evolving rules), I need to come to Buenos Aires before beginning a Rentista application process. Last time I examined the requirements at Migracion, it referenced the applicant's attorney...

Ok, thanks again

Ok, helpful, thanks. Is simple, easy. I recall in one of our visits reference to something like commerce in dollars being illegal and that visitors were required to exchange for and make purchases in pesos. Is that true but, just not usually enforced?

And for the owner to list an apartment in dollars publicly online?

Scanning rentals (not in BA yet), and it seems many (all?) are listed for dollars. I understand that real estate is purchased in dollars and why. But I read others were having transfers converted to pesos depending on their status. Not sure if it's still that way for some. Seems that some or...

No I haven't. I've been told we probably want to commute with other commuters not in odd hours. We'll visit a few months before we move.

Yeah, that's fine. For us is a work place. I thought you were referring to one of the recommended barrios.
