    Argentina Rentista Visa for 2024? What is the minimum income now for retirement visa for Argentina?

    Very true. Once I moved out of the United States it was easier for me to get out of the habit of buying so much junk I didn't need. When I lived in the US I would buy the latest iPhone each year and tons of junk I didn't need. Once I moved outside it wasn't as easy to buy stuff and then I just...

    Wooohoooo!!!!! One PR down, one to go!

    Hopefully, the process is getting easier. I bumped into a Russian woman the other day with her child at the park. I asked her about her journey and she had very positive things to say. She already had most of her extensive family here. Her husband's family. Her family too. I was amazed at her...

    Is it true that 2 visa overstays = auto 5 year ban?

    Until I hear of friends staying here having issues or a broader case of expats posting on forums having problems I will continue. People have no idea of just how many people are overstaying here. I have been hearing since President Macri that they were going to get tougher and it never has...

    To be fair there is some beautiful buildings in the area.

    Passport Bros posting on Tik Tok about moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Argentina is the last place I think a Passport Bro would want to try to find a wife.

    Is it true that 2 visa overstays = auto 5 year ban?

    Same. I don't think immigration can call you a fake tourist if you're a digital nomad and legitimately a "tourist". So many places one can visit between the borders of Argentina or a quick and easy flight. Seems like the easiest solution and hasn't failed me. I realize it does take some...

    Worst things about Buenos Aires besides dog poop?

    I hate that the police cars drive around with their flashing lights at night which is annoying. How do you know if they are going to pull you over? I always wondered about that. Construction everywhere. Also, many times sidewalks are all torn up or even if they aren't, it's annoying that...

    Newcomer Inquiries regarding the general strike scheduled for January 24th

    Is it true that Alberto Fernandez didn't have to deal with any general strikes? Funny if so that none of these people complained about the crazy inflation the years he was President. Then again I guess half of it they were locked in their homes with the COVID lock down...

    Any guesses where we think the Blue dollar exchange rate will head in 2024?

    Oh, absolutely! Ignorance is like a luxurious spa day for the brain – no need for inconvenient facts or bothersome knowledge of a Country falling apart. Who wants the burden of understanding the world when you can bask in the warm glow of blissful unawareness? Why bother with the complexities...

    Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) in real-time

    A handful of expats throwing wishes around is like trying to make a unicorn appear—zero difference, folks! But seriously, it's a bummer that there isn't a ticket to tackle corruption without all the chainsaw antics and a side of dictatorship cheerleading. Talk about wanting the drama without...

    Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) in real-time

    So, like, my work gig relies on Argentinians having enough cash to splurge on mobile phone services. Obviously, I'm all about Argentina doing well 'cause, you know, that's where my interests lie. But, we might not see eye to eye on how to make that happen. I'm totally vibing with some concerns...
