The only reason I can think of is an Argentine company having an agreement with the bank so a foreign employee temporarily based here can collect their salary.

Must admit to being amazed when reading posts from those who were able to open bank accounts without a DNI. Especially as there's not a lot else you can do here without showing a DNI.

You must hang about with the wrong type of folk then.

She's never liked him due to his political leanings. Must admit most of what she says about religion and politics goes in one ear and straight out the other with me. I don't give either topic much thought....got nicer things to occupy my mind with. 😁

It's hardly surprising given how long he's been in the job. Considering the disaster the last bunch of chancers left it'll take years not months for things to get better.

My Argie missus and devout catholic can't stand the bloke.

The number of new outlets far outweighs the closures. To be honest most of those that closed sold an inferior product so their time was up anyway. It's a similar situation with the property market here. Older properties are getting knocked down and being replaced by plush new ones. It's boom...

Same out here in the sticks. Despite all the financial doom and gloom I keep hearing about. New cafes, bars, restaurants and all sorts of shops just keep on opening up. There must have a hell of a lot of spare cash knocking about.

Well I know sod all about it so you can take what I say with a pinch of salt. Although I have a dollar income I'm not getting that fussed about the falling Blue rate. My wife has a tidy peso income so we won't go without. If it means your average Argentine will eventually end up being in a...

My missus who is Argentine born also has British and Spanish passports. I got the feeling the reason she gave me for not bothering with getting Argentine residency was purely a financial one....there's nothing to be gained. Quite the opposite I believe.

I've had my residency for 15 years. When I recently mentioned to the missus about Citizenship she said ''Forget it. You're British what on earth do you want Argentine citizenship for?''. She's right there are no advantages whatsoever....just hassle.

Don't get me wrong I don't expect to have the same range and quality of food available here as I can get when dining out in Scotland. As I said the locals seem to be happy enough to eat pasta and pizza all the time when not eating asado. I just wish the restaurants would be a bit more...

We very rarely eat out to be honest so home cooking does us. Argentines aren't very adventurous when it comes to food.

I live in a town out in the pampa not Buenos Aires. Asados aside the food here is mostly Italian based. As I'm not a lover of pasta or pizza it doesn't leave me with much choice when we eat out. No problem for my Argentine wife but it is for me. When eating out in a similar sized town in...

I must admit, apart from most asados I've had over the many years I've lived here. Overall, the food isn't great quality.

Let's face it the reason it was cheap was because of previous governments operating a false economy for years to be popular with the lower earners. In order to sort out their mess prices have had to go up and will continue to do so for a long time yet. That's why the likes of maids/cleaners need...

Could be wrong but there seems to be a common theme on this and many similar threads. Which is, expats love to live here as long as it's cheap for them to do so. As soon as it starts costing more to live here they begin to talk about leaving. If that's your way of thinking then I'd suggest you...

To be fair we had to suffer all of that for years before Milei came along to sort out the mess. Give him a chance.

My missus keeps me updated on what all these holidays are for. She gets the hump every time I ask her.....which is just about ever week!! :rolleyes:

My biggest gripe is the way supermarkets operate here. If they operated the same way in the UK they'd either go bust very quickly or be closed down by the authorities for constantly breaking pricing rules. Especially when it comes to 'offers' which are blatantly nonsense.
