I've been in Argentina the past 4 years on a rentista visa. Each year to renew it and get a valid DNI for another year, I go to migraciones and go through the steps. I have been paying someone to guide me through this process every year. No real problems, but I do have one specific question and...

I'm trying to get a second phone line in my house to use as a local business number. Telecom has a line which is actually wireless. The company says it is just as good as a landline.

Anyone here from the U.S. that has let their U.S. (in my case California) license expire and had any unexpected, negative consequences? I'm in Argentina for the long term, but do make frequent visits back to the U.S. and drive a lot there. I figure I can drive on my Argentina license when I'm...

I've taught my daughter everything I know on piano, and now that she knows how to open the keyboard cover and sit down, she's now ready for a teacher! Anyone have someone they can recommend or a place where I might be able to find one (like a conservatory in BA). Any help is much appreciated...

Looking for advice. I own a recently built studio apartment in Palermo Hollywood. I would like to rent it out as a short-term rental for anywhere from days to months, most likely to people traveling from English speaking-countries to Buenos Aires for short stays e.g. to study Spanish, learning...

I'd have a great Spanish teacher that I've been working with the past three months, and has helped me a great deal.

I've been living in Buenos Aires for the past year. I studied Spanish some in the U.S. prior to moving. My wife and kids are fluent in Spanish (though we speak English in the home to keep the kids' English at a high level.) I've taken a fair amount of classes (completed through level 7 of 8 at...
