    IMF Agreement: The Government Will Send a DNU to Congress to Obtain Support

    Wow terrible for Argentina. That is why I never believe Caputo or Milei when they say they are so close to a deal every day. They have been saying that for a year. Obviously there are huge differences still. And with the stunt Trump pulled to all these nations with tariffs, they might not...

    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    I guess Argentina learned FAFO. Most Argentines act like if they had the Falklands things would be different. Delusional as usual.

    Legal Any risk to constantly overstaying on tourist visa? How many times can you do border runs in Argentina?

    Be careful if you're constantly overstaying. My friend went to do a border run just like he has done every few months over to Colonia. He is here on a tourist visa but has lived in Argentine since covid lockdown. He has paid a few times the overstay fee as he couldn't get out on time a few...

    Newcomer Passing on some advice about tourist SIM cards/chips

    Agree with you @LyellLanatone. These staff members are not in the best mood and do feel resentment sometimes as a gringo. I think people were more patient before but feel like lately people are getting frustrated at the expensive prices. More aggressive and impatient. Customer service sucks...

    Outbound tourism from Argentina to Chile up 130% Year over Year

    2025 will probably be even worse with tourism. Government doesn't sound like Cepo will end any time soon. There are rumors of Milei getting frustrated with Caputo. Not sure if they are true or not. “December marked the seventh consecutive month of deficit in the current account of the BCRA's...

    AFIP Tax Amnesty

    It's legal as long as there aren't any pimps involved. You can tell how bad the economy is. Just go to a website like ArgentinaXP or SoloIndependientes and the number of females grows each day.

    How to cast your absentee ballot in the U.S. presidential election

    No that was the price of Buenos Aires to USA but I just find the post office here horrible so avoid them now. Good info about the USA Embassy but just note that I have heard from several people who said their ballot never made it in time to their State. Not sure if there is mal intent there or...

    How to cast your absentee ballot in the U.S. presidential election

    @StatusNomadicus you're smart sending it via DHL. Last election I was here and send it via the Correo Argentina which is the postal system here. I even sent it express and added certified with tracking to make sure it got there. I sent it 2 months before the election and it never arrived. I...

    Milei’s Austerity Ravages a Factory Hub at the End of the World

    Milei changed the law and did some labor reforms. He is giving people a chance that have their employees in black under the table to regularize them without penalties or fees.

    Argentina recession leaves once-bustling Buenos Aires restaurants hustling for customers

    I am a self-proclaimed digital brokemad now. Inflation here is the opposite of slowing down. All my expenses are going up at dizzying rates. My healthcare plan has jumped up, my electricity bill has skyrocketed, same with gas and water. Hell even my internet and cable bill jumped up. I am...

    Argentina and Ukraine working on joint weapons? Is this true?

    Agree about staying the heck out of anything Ukraine related. Let them fight their own war. Argentina has nothing to offer. I feel sorry for the males in the Ukraine. Saw this and made me sick.

    Wow I like Milei's Picks for Deputies for LLA party!

    I'm not sure what the relationship was but sure beats Alberto's staff. Or could have been his Sexual Tantric student.:unsure:
