    Citizenship rejected!

    So, we went to the court this morning to ask why the judge rejected my tramite given the fact that the law says when you are married to a native Argentine, the required 2-year residency is exempt. The secretaria also seemed perplexed as to why but eventually he said that it was an error. If you...

    Newcomer A Large Percentage of Argentinians Want to Be Digital Nomads: A Growing Trend!

    @Vince Guess what? My partner's brother-in-law, whose car was robbed and stolen in May-June last year, was robbed again last night and they also took his car while moonlighting as a Didi driver. Seriously, I have no word....

    Citizenship rejected!

    I should have? I don't think so. I mean it's not a necessity. Why spend thousands of dollars for what is not exactly necessary? I went into this thinking that ok great if I get it. But if I don't. I'm OK with that.

    We'll try to appeal and let's see what happens.

    Citizenship rejected!

    So, I thought I was at the very end of the road for my citizenship here. Fiscalia favorably recommended my citizenship twice but then juzgado said no, reasoning that I have not met the 2-year residency required even though it clearly states that if you are married to a native Argentine or have...

    Thoughts on relocating to Mendoza from CABA

    Not anymore. A possible opportunity came up but then it fizzled out fast like tirar un pedo :ROFLMAO:. However, I am going to move a new barrio which is Villa Urquiza and I am excited about that.

    What're the general thoughts on moving to Mendoza from CABA? What are pros and cons? Any advice from those who have personal experiences would highly be appreciated. Asking for a friend ;)

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    It was paid last year (recommended by the dentist to avoid further inflation). I'm sure now it's more expensive.

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    It ended up taking four more visits to a different dentist (a crown specialist) to get the crown placed. The first two visits were just for taking impressions of my teeth. It could have been done in three visits, but for some reason, the dentist decided to redo the impression. At the third...

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    When my partner and I had our interview with Migraciones, the interviewer also complained to us about being on a contract instead of a permanent position, among other things. I suppose that's one of the reasons why they work the way they work? Dunno.

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    These ñoquis are so 'unfamiliar' (I use this word loosely because I don't believe so. Because there have been other Thais before me using the same certificate without any problem) that they asked me to get a new police clearance because the one I provided did not exactly say that "I have or...

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    Just get all your docs legalized/apostilled before you come to Argentina. All the translations from English to Spanish must be done in Argentina by local certified translators. I didn't legalize my police clearance because the Argentine Embassy in Thailand was stupid (that specific guy) didn't...

    Inflation Is Falling, But Argentines 'Are Not Yet Better Off': Milei's Gamble Under Fire

    Things were more expensive for sure pretty much everywhere but in Thailand it's still manageable, depending on where you shop. I came across this video of a couple of Americans doing their grocery shopping in Bangkok. I'm not sure where they shopped but it looks like a mid to high end...

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    I'm married to a native Argentine and we did all the procedures by ourselves so it only cost me some fees of translations, legalization of documents etc. Quite minimal. But the only thing that cost quite a lot was when I had to send my police clearance back to the Argentine embassy in my home...
