Hi folks, I’ve been living in Argentina for the last year and a half, working my way through the rentista residence option.
My patience is running out with this place. These are the most amicable people I’ve met but they don’t seem to notice how they destroy their own county. I’ve been waiting for my DNI 15 months now. They are feeding me with “mañana”, “que país” and “esperamos nuevo… presidente, jefe, viento” and not progressing anywhere. Just keep throwing new requests to present documents for the third time because they’ve lost them or because the rules have changed or because someone thinks they’ve changed, or someone believes they will change soon. “Just wait a month while we add your docs to the case… oops they’ve expired, can you bring the new one?”
Meanwhile I’ve lost part of business, flights to Europe and a few opportunities just because my precaria was about to expire and it only takes unknown time 5 to 60(!) days to renew it.
I love the country and the people but my life isn’t that long.
So, rant is over, here’s the question - is there a guide for dummies to settle in Uruguay? Like what programs they have, timelines and rumours of reliability of their bureaucracy. I’ve been to the country a few times and do business with a local tech startup, they are super reasonable, both on entrepreneurship and bureaucracy level so far.
Any hints?
