it never fails to amaze me how many long time expats in BA have such limited spanish. i’ve been here 5 years, starting with virtually no knowledge of the language, and here is a list of things i have done in spanish: -negotiated rental contracts -fallen in love -received a dressing down from a...

i have a bar/restaurant in chacarita that’s doing pretty well, opened it in october of last year. @dimi.bar_ on instagram. would be happy to chat.

i don’t know too much about logistics, but i do know that counterintuitively, shipping by trucks from chile and other neighboring countries is far more expensive than by container ship.

you think the boleta that they sent a year ago is still valid? i guess i could go to banco central and pay 300 pesos tomorrow morning!

hey folks! i have a turno tomorrow to receive, after 4 years, a bar opening, many girlfriends, a marriage, and a dog, my permanent dni. i'm heading down to jujuy 468 to recieve it, and have seen that they need the reciept showing that i paid for it...that paper receipt that i received from banco...

best coffee beans that you can find will be from puerto blest in villa crespo. they import and roast, and they’re the best positioned of the market to weather import problems - they have a stock of many millions of dollars of green (unroasted) coffee beans in-country, meaning they’ll always have...

hey folks! i was approved for permanent residency on the 2nd of Jan. after asking Renaper on twitter, they sent me my new DNI number. i haven’t received the physical card yet i currently have a restaurant registered under my CUIT, which i got with a precaria. my understanding is that the DNI...

hey, actually just checked today and it was approved the 10th - now it’s just a question of arrival!

i’m still waiting. precaria was renewed in december

dimi bar in chacarita is run by two american spiceheads and has decent heat integrated into most of the dishes - they also drop like three types of hot sauce on the table for you

had the interview yesterday - it was really chill. we're a same sex couple and were interviewed together. asked when i arrived to argentina, how/when we met, when we became a couple, about our families (who's met who), and given the apparent okay. the woman who interviewed us (cecilia) was...

thanks so much for the info! how long roughly did it take for your interview date take to be granted? and when was this? in the pandemia times or more recently? has your DNI arrived yet? did it delay much longer after the renewed precaria?

Hi! they recently sent me an email 3 months after my initial appointment asking for this same documentation. After you submitted it, did they request the interview? Was it the same interview referenced earlier in this thread, with your spouse? or just an interview with you?

when you say unreasonably high, how much are they asking for? bike prices are inflated globally due to supply chain issues and they're a hot commodity - one of the fastest ways to making a bit of scratch here for people with little resources is a bike and a rappi bag. i'm selling two bikes...

are the locations on La Pampa and Cordoba open on feriados?

well, naturally couldn't complete the digital census without a DNI to input, and they're obviously no option to input a passport number. Guess i'll have to do the whole thing in analog tomorrow - fun!

I think i understand. So i won't have anything to show them, per se, but they'll see in my file upon entry that i'm in process, thus making it more likely that they'll let me in?

so you’re saying i should apply for long term residency without my CBC, i’ll receive a precaria number before submitting paperwork, and i can come back with the documents that are necessary for the appointment?

it’s a paper that my girlfriend and i got done at a escribano during the pandemic that certified that we were a family unit. different than the coliving document, but was effectively the same under the family reunification policy in act during the pandemic. to my understanding, at least

Hey folks, reviving this thread for a quick question. Seems like prevailing wisdom is that visa runs aren't really cool anymore. I'd like to explain my situation and see if anyone can provide some clarity. I overstayed during the pandemic until may 2021, left, came back in August 2021 with a...
