Oh, that's not good at all. How frustrating

I found this article on Telam that suggests it's possible. But doesn't mention any providers who took advantage of the rule change. https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/202305/627513-turistas-extranjeros-billeteras-electronicas-dolar-mep.html "Foreign tourists can use payment transfer apps with the...

Does anyone have experience setting up and using a payment transfer app (billetera virtual) without a local bank account? This year there seem to be fewer and fewer shops (especially small ones) that accept U.S. credit cards (Understandable given high transaction fees.) But it's to the point...

Follow up: Thanks for replies. This is helpful -- and to help me see a straightforward distinction I didn't notice (due to either late-night brain fog or expectations about unnecessary bureaucracy): You need either the original DNI_or_ a copy that is certified. I had read it as certified...

That's correct. Forgot that detail. My spouse is in the U.S. too with us currently. Good to know that this might be the case, and makes sense since the DNI is an official certification of citizenship/residency already. It seems strange to need a lawyer to certify it. I am awaiting a call/email...

I am applying for permanent residency for me and my child through my spouse, who is an Argentina citizen. I am working through the Consulado in Chicago (with jurisdiction over my state of residence) to apply for the family reunification visa. One of the requirements is: "Original DNI or...

What is the list of banks in Argentina that seem to work well for direct WU transfers bank to bank? I've seen named often in this thread Santander Rio and Itaú. Others? I saw mention of HSBC bank not working all the time. Do direct WU transfers work at all with Banco Nación or Banco Provincia...

How does a mail forwarding service work between, say, the U.S. and Argentina?

This is super helpful. Thank you. My hopes are that the system has a chance of working like this in another town en el interior. How did you request a turno? Phone? Email? Twitter? In person?

@mmoon Did you find a solution? We will be returning to Argentina too for 1st time in 2 years. My health insurance (United HealthCare company in U.S.) does cover international care (as out-of-network, reimbursement). I called to get a letter specifying coverage for Covid. But still wondering if...

You appointment in Entre Rios was to finalize the permanent residency? For the DNI? Or both? I'm wondering how the process worked having received the visa ahead of time through a consulate, and then entering Argentina for follow-up trámites. How many steps are needed post-consulate?

Oh wow. That is all far too complicated. Our residence in Argentina is not in CABA, but way out in BA province on the coast. I wonder if the 'DNI por acto consular' can be done at one of the Delegaciones de Migraciones, and whether it would be any less or more complex.

I too am wondering about pros/cons to applying for permanent residency through a consulate vs. through Radex while in Argentina. @Fiscal what did your experience prove to be? I know @Ronnie Hotdogs you also have talked about your experience here and in other threads. Thank you. Does either way...

@sab15: (If you're still monitoring responses here these many years later) What did you ultimately decide to do? Did you find any particular (dis)advantages that swayed you? I am married to an Argentine and I want to pursue permanent residency for me and our child (born outside of Argentina)...

Thanks for this insight. I've seen information about a family reunification visa. But I hadn't understood it as comparable or the same as the permanent residency. But that makes perfect sense. But yeah, that is a big price difference. $$ Wow. But depending on one's situation and timing/cost of...

@SecretShopper : Follow up question if you don't mind (and see this 1 year old thread again): Did I understand correctly that you completed your permanent residency through a consulate, and not within Argentina? I am looking to start the application process for the same -- permanent residency...
