High bank balances should also help according to both lawyers I spoke to.

Nope classic dry garlic powder

Ok this may be a silly one but I checked the old threads before posting and didn't see anything. I'm in Monte Grande. In local stores the only garlic and pepper they sell are in the little plastic bags that kids sold weed in back in highschool when it was illegal. Salt is no problem. Went to...

Get a bank account here, that took me two months, I do transfers to the account with western Union from my USA debit card (lowest cost option I found, correct me if I'm wrong). I don't transfer more than $2,000 monthly. I also use my us credit card regularly at any place that doesn't charge...

I retired here myself this year to a smaller city outside Buenos Aires. But I am a newbie! I have only been here since April. Same as you, not Elon Musk, but I have a decent pension, and rental income from the United States. For me, I feel like life here is a little bit like Brooklyn in the...

Sounds like no one knows, but please come back to the Forum and let us know what happens!

Happy Fourth! 🇺🇸 I'm back in the USA till July 10th... I wish I had known about July 9th in Argentina, I could have celebrated double independence day!

I offered to pay a year up front, or 2 years really. I'm glad they didn't take me up on the offer. Because as soon as I moved in I had some problems with the water heater, and other little issues. If they had the whole rent up front, it would be easier that for them to screw you over.

I'm gonna buy some eye drops, possibly a guitar amp, definitely a microphone (I'm into music), girlfriend wants some candy I've never heard of. All my electronics are up to date so no new lap tops etc. Anything you like to buy or find very difficult to get here? Thanks!

I'm using Paula Carello. So far so good! Recommended.

thanks all!

I never did a declaracion jurada... Must only be on the app. I'll have to download it and try. I've just been using the website.

I called Western Union US and they told me. Google search and chatgpt seem to agree, that conflicts w posts here but they are older. Same western Union account I used before to send myself cash. Sent my girlfriend $20 the same hour I got rejected to test everything else. She got in no problem.

High forum friends, I know this topic has come up before, but it looks like the information has changed so I want to do a 2026 version here. I have transferred Western Union to myself a few times since I've been here, to pick up in effectivo. I now have an account with Galicia, and I was...

I'm in Monte Grande, the meats here at the carniceria are super cheap, chicken, steak etc Veggies at the verdulería also super cheap.... However the supermarket runs are just as bad as CABA. Cheaper than the USA, but not by much. Malbec thankfully cheap everywhere 🍷

Ollas Y Sueños is on my list! Perhaps I'll go this week. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi friends, First thanks as always to everyone who helps here. I backed out of an apartment deal today. The landlord/immobiliara wrote in the contract that I would have to go to Canning once a month to pay the rent from Monte Grande. 8 kilómetros. I know things are different here but that was...

Hi, I sent myself 2,000,000 pesos. Western Union just told me they can give me the money but I have to wait an hour for verification. Is that normal? Using US passport for ID. What's the trigger point to have that? I've used Western Union a handful of times. This is a first. Thanks.

Hi friends, I am hopefully moving into a new apartment this month, if the landlord isn't covering utilities (waiting on contract info) how long does it take to get things up and running? Can I do it without a DNI? If not my girlfriend can use hers... I think. Aside from not having furniture...

Great feedback. Thanks all!
