I will add, you don't need a local Argentine income (whether a regular job, or a monotributo). If you work online overseas, you can certify your foreign income via an accountants certificate here, that's what I did for my citizenship application.

I would only recommend that you buy a sim card at the official phone carrier stores. As usual, without a DNI things start going wonky. Personal at Alto Palermo and Claro at Alto Palermo will give you a SIM card and activate it with just a passport. Make sure you don't leave until it's working...

Well the actual amount is 5x the monthly minimum wage which is going up and down, so check beforehand. But the goal was to approximate around $2k USD per month

I've talked to expats that have been living here for 15+ years just overstaying. When you leave you pay an administrative fee of ~$30 USD (at todays rates). The fee is fixed no matter how long you've overstayed. They'll go back to the US, do whatever they need to do and then come back as a...

Ubers are available but much more expensive than Didis in my experiences. Cabs have been honest with me, I never had an issue other than the taxis from the airport which do scam you every chance they get.

That is true, the late night rides are more expensive. Protip, use the app called "Didi". I'll use taxis from time to time when it's convenient. But late at night, long distance or from the airport I only use Didi as it's much cheaper

Rentista visas they are asking the ~2k usd per month per person. So if it's you and your wife that's $4k per month (plus or minus depending on the current minimum wage and exchange rate). What is your goal? If you just want to come live here you don't need any visas, just show up as a tourist...

I am still here on tourist status (overstayed at that) and I didn't have any issue regarding my visa status when renting. The garantia or seguro de caucion on the other hand I did have landlords ask about, but if you actually live here you should be able to manage finding an apartment without an...

I understand these are refugees from Senegal, I see some of them gaining citizenship. They've been here a while

You can look on zonaprop, craigslist or through personal connections

Well paid politicians are not necessarily a bad thing. See example from Singapore https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/in-his-own-words-higher-pay-will-attract-most-talented-team-so-country-can-prosper

You could be doing a bit better than that. More like 1290 per dollar

I will be there as usual

You may be going to a small branch that's out of money

I wouldn't recommend Galicia, even if you can open the account the online banking doesn't work. So you can't pay your utility bills online or make transferencias. Basically useless

You can do so with a temporary residency DNI no problem at all, permanent residence is not required.

You have us all on the edge of our seats. What would be the easy way that you'd recommend?

That was indeed per month, that's why I was gobsmacked. The Alto Palermo branch was just ok, not even luxury or anything like that. I had Lifetime Fitness in USA for the same price, those are some really nice gyms in comparison

I think you'd have a good chance at one of the larger banks in the US (Chase, BoA etc), small community banks definitely not as a tourist only. I know someone that opened an account at Chase with no SSN and not even an ITIN

Residency in Paraguay? Interesting. I'd invite you to the weekly Tuesday coffee chat if you're in BA, I think there's some useful discussion to be had about how things work here, I'd be interested in how your process in Paraguay went
