The socialist chickens have come home to roost. Decades of elections have consequences.

It is easy to criticize someone else when you don't have to shoulder the burden to resolve the issues. Since you criticize, perhaps you have a better solution for Argentina's current economic travails? In the context of the dire economic situation which he inherited from Madame K et al, what...

At this point, with Migraciones' administrative dysfunctionality in high gear, just overstay and pay the ~$25 administrative penalty, which will be the tidiest solution. Simply go to Jorge Newberry (rather than Ezeiza) ten days before your flight and ask for the Migraciones Office to get it...

Elections have consequences.

That is impressive. You were fortunate. I have a European friend here who needed six years and a bad marriage to get his permanent residency. I wonder if your wife, being Brazilian (Mercosur), made it easier for you? Because it seems to me that whoever at Migracion opens one's file, they have...

The main issue that we are facing is: How does one even open a bank account in the first place without a valid DNI? I've had no luck whatsoever; even while being accompanied by Argentino friends to help. Also, what is the rational behind demanding that dollars be deposited in a local bank...

We know someone who I can only describe as a health insurance broker. Friend of friend. I'm thinking that if dad cuts Medicare B in the USA and his private policy, he'll have about $360/mo. as an offset to whatever we can find here. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Thanks to everyone for their advice regarding medical insurance. Sorry for the late response; we are dealing with Migracion and I do not even have words in English to describe that mindless dystopia. If we don't get it sorted out, medical insurance won't be an issue.

Very interesting. My father is here and first we are going through the nightmare that is Migracion. But regarding healthcare, we were quoted an obscene amount by OSDE. Over 3,000,000 per month. He is 70 but with minor issues, nothing major. I think that OSDE just wanted to get rid of us. I did...

Thanks Neil. I was unaware of Hominis. WOW! $100K - what a great deal. Good for you. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Maybe at this age we could just pay a premium. Cheers.

Hello everyone. My father is coming to live with us shortly. He will be 70 in a few months. Can anyone please recommend a decent health insurance plan? He's spending about $300 / month in the US currently. Those policies could be cancelled and the money applied here. Ideally a broad plan like...

If you like natural beauty, Idaho is incredible. I lived on the border of eastern Idaho for many years, For me it was all about hiking in the spectacular mountains. Other than that, Idaho is pretty boring, in my opinion.
