Temporary rents have gone down due to stock (availability) of those type of apartments growing , temporary foreigners are now leaving in droves due to currency exchange ($/£/€) being stuck since nov '23 and prices going up double or triple.

Losing a passport sucks, sorry to hear that. I have a piece of paper inside , like a post-it with email/phone number in case someone finds it. If anyone reads this I would recommend doing it , it takes one minute, doesn't guarantee anything, but at least if someone else with good intentions...

I live between São Paulo and Buenos Aires, last year it made sense to be here if your aim was to save money for whatever reason. It was incredibly favourable for someone whose savings was in a foreign currency. Being here now is even more expensive in terms of everyday shopping than Europe. I...

In Buenos Aires the car is King. You simply have to acknowledge that. I don't even have a driving licence and it took me some time to understand. Any resistance to it is futile. You will encounter some ironic situations where the car will not stop for you, even if it's your right to cross , you...

That sounds like a documentary I would watch. Post it here when it's finished! :)

Thanks to this trick I was able to travel to Sao Paulo direct with Air Canada at a very low price and guess what, baggage what is included. (baggage can be up to 90 USD today in international flights) BTW I didn't know what fifth freedom meant until today, fascinating subject =>...

Yeah, taxis are great in very specific circumstances, like getting out of a mall at 3pm, cheaper than uber, does the job , but you can't summon or invoke a taxi by means of magic at 2 a.m. on some random street, nor can you just go down with your two suitcases to a main street in the hopes of...

I have an issue which seems to be the other way round. I've got an outstanding balance with UBER originating from a trip from Ezeiza where the card simply didn't go through, it's a British card that works on almost every POS here in ARG, I didn't think too much about it, since oh well, if you...

She might be right but the way she's expressing it is disrespectful and entitled, i'm a bit ashamed of her to be honest. I'm Spanish myself , Spanish roads are quite good in Europe if you compare them for example to Italy. Both get funds from theEU but the level of corruption is difference, I...

That or just wear a Rappi uniform and pretend to have a speech impediment and keep cycling

I suspect this is a measure meant for Argentinian nationals who are residents in other countries so that they don't come back during the pandemic after visiting their country of residence .... I myself am Spanish, came here in early March with hopes of living here and visiting the country...

So, I was finally able to leave the country on last Thursday, took a cabify (taxi app) to the airport and carried a printed version of my ticket, the printed letter from the ambassador and passport in hand We zipped through the city quickly , we weren't stopped at all by police (as they say it...

I'm flying out finally tomorrow back to Madrid, could get into a flight , it wasn't easy: my recommedation if you want to leave , subscribe to your embassy's twitter/fb account if those are available and also find out if there are whatsapp groups of people wanting to return to your country...

Can anybody explain this? I have only lived here 2 months, I'm Spanish but have lived the past 10 years in UK, now trapped here in Argentina, dreaming of leaving one day. Why is the transfer exchange rate so different from the official one??? Sorry, this might be obvious for some but I'm new...

Usually there are fleeting "microbuses" from different parts of the nation that connect to repatriation flights, if it's BA contact British Embassy In Buenos Aires and they might be aware of the procedure.

You just have to turn on the TV to find out how can minds be manipulated into boundless fear. It's all about pointing fingers to people who infect others, this would be unimaginable elsewhere. No one talks about who infected who in UK Australia Spain Italy , only here? Can someone explain to me...

I am a UK permanent resident , but not yet a citizen. Not sure if I qualify for this. It's a nice gesture though, hmmm £800 for a single ticket sounds like a bit too much for me , no thanks. I guess I will stay here and spend that money in rent

very true, my airbnb landlord has told me that the rest of the properties he manages are empty and I was able to negotiate a better price in the end... but 6 months... it's a bit too much , isn't it?

There is no mention of banning flights until september as per the IATA document that was updated yesterday . Sometimes news outlets do not report accurately. https://www.iata.org/en/programs/safety/health/diseases/government-measures-related-to-coronavirus/ (check Argentina that was updated...
