What are expats's experiences applying for an Argentine driving licence?
 
Enter the words "driving license" in a search (in titles only).

Then enter the words "drivers license" in a search (in titles only).

Then enter the words "driver's license" in a search (in titles only).
 
Some considerations:
You must find the steps as mentioned above ,

Issues:

  • With valid Foreign Driving License
  • Renewal of License
  • Driving License from Mercosur Countries
  • First time application
  • Written test in Spanish..!
  • Tourist or Permanent Resident Visa

A friend joined the AAA Club of Argentina, obtained the Drivers License with their help, then after the first month cancelled the membership. Not a bad deal, you take the test at their facilities on Av. Libertador, plus they can assist you.

I tried that already. I'm not asking people to do research on my behalf but if someone has recent experience and doesn't mind sharing then all is good.
 
I'm thinking of emigrating to Spain where it costs €700 to get a licence from scratch. Thats crazy money. My UK licence expired a while ago and I can't renew it as I don't live in the UK or plan to live there. Therefore it seems the best route would be to take the test here and get the Argentine licence then swap it for the Spanish if we end up in Spain.

Questions if I may:

1-does this seem possible and logical?
2-do I need my passport as well as DNI to take arg test?
3-how long does it take to get licence?
4-total cost?

There may not have been many (if any) members who are currently active in the forum who also recently got their driver's license in Buenos Aires.

So, even though you're "not asking people to do research on (your) behalf" if you enter the words getting a driver's license in Buenos Aires in a Google search you would find this on the first page:

How to get your Argentina Driver's License in Buenos Aires - Sol Salute

I clicked on it because I saw that it was posted in late June of this year and cited the costs as of May and the cost of the license at that time was $750 pesos.
