    Significance of "Disposición de residencia protocolizada"

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Quality clothes are expensive here. So are electronic goods. If you use an RSA key for banking, renew it and bring it. Credit cards, as was already mentioned, should renewed. Make sure you bring a quality quad band phone attached to a USA phone number so that you have no issues with SMS codes...

    Is it possible to find a truly remote US job from Buenos Aires?

    I had a similar (BIG) problem here with my new Samsung S22Ultra, whose IMEI was somehow not compatible with AT&T. I was suddenly cut off from all money transactions. The ordeal sucked beyond imagination. And I was contemplating having to return to Florida just for a new phone and phone number...

    Is it possible to find a truly remote US job from Buenos Aires?

    They say they have 1,100 jobs open with virtual or telework options. If you get hired, hopefully you'll be one of the few that actually does something for us instead of shuffling the call from one department to another. Good luck...

    Requirement to return to Argentina every 3 years to preserve DNI

    "I suggest everyone decide where they want to live in the long term...get there before the SHTF...and be willing to stay put indefinitely." Good advice. To be forewarned is to be prepared.

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    Well, Newton's Laws of Motion are fairly unequivocal. On the other hand, you are correct regarding the negotiated approach to language as evidenced by this politician's classic gem under oath: “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been...

    Six months now in trámite with Migración

    We requested from Migraciones a refund of the initial pensionado processing fees. About 7,000 ARS. Today we received the attached message. Hopefully, it will catalyze someone to finally sign off on the lingering residency + DNI solicitation. All the trámite is in good order. As of 06 APR when...

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    "The importance of empirical observations is often overrated." Empirical observation is one of the foundational tenets of the scientific method; which in turn is responsible for countless advances in science and technology. Without it, results are, at best, speculative.

    Western Union money transfer

    I just noticed that Western Union (WU) is paying 448 vs. 495 dólar blue. Factoring in the WU commission, the net WU exchange rate is 423. I wonder if the 47 ARS difference (495-448) is due to Western Union having bought a tranche of ARS which it must exhaust before buying a new tranche...

    Six months now in trámite with Migración

    Thanks for the replies. It seems that I am at least in good company. Due to the delay, my attorney requested a refund of the initial fees as a ploy to cause someone at Migracion to examine the application, see that it's complete and hopefully push it through to approval. If this gambit is...

    Tomorrow will mark six months since I started the process to obtain a one year retirement (pensionado) visa. I have received three previously to accommodate extended stays. I've no criminal history in the USA or anywhere else; not even a parking ticket. No civil or tax issues anywhere -...
