    Economy Argentina's Lessons: Gradualism and Fear of Reforms Are Fatal for an Economy

    Original in Portuguese here. Google Translate works on it very well. Great read on how and why Macri failed miserably as president.

    Banking Transferring a large sum of Money From the UK at minimum cost and risk

    I am thinking about selling a property in San Martin de los Andes and would have the same problem. Easiest might be to open up a crypto account and then transfer using BTC etc and selling in Europe, but I am not sure whether BitInka, Ripio etc actually work well and are trustworthy at the...

    Replacing a lost DNI for a foreigner

    Has anyone tried to replace a lost DNI? I'm trying to get a turno on the website http://turnos.mininterior.gov.ar/turnosWeb/ but it won't accept my DNI number for some reason. I'm wondering if it's because I'm a foreigner with a DNI instead of a national. Would have thought it would be the same...

    Politics Bolsonaro potential new president of Brazil serious implications

    Most of them seem to be working to me. Is that not true? I have heard for a while that they can find jobs that some unemployed Argentines can't find and that they are good workers.

    Newcomer My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    Problems with cleanliness were not my experience when my son was born here (in a private hospital). Everything went extremely well except that there was not a regular maternity room available right away. My wife still slept in a private room though, and I got lucky and slept on the floor next to...

    Banking Do not bank with Santander Río!

    I also have had good experience with Galicia. I opened an account with only a CUIT. My DNI and visa are still in process. They were happy to help.

    Newcomer Venezuelans!

    It's not really a socialist state, is it? Not like Scandinavian socialism for sure. Just corrupt populism posing as "socialist".

    Legal Seeking advise on a "touchy topic"

    I was trying to make light of your situation. In all honesty if the guy is such a pain in you ass (with he sounds) just pay him the 500 peso's and be done with it. It's hardly worth depriving yourself of a decent nights sleep or looking over your shoulder whenever you leave the house for the...

    Legal Seeking advise on a "touchy topic"

    Tell him you're going to pay. When he arrives to collect the money break his jaw with a hook, when he drops give him a volley for good measure.

    Food & Drink Attacked in a "posh" bar called Mute in Las Canitas

    First of all, I do not know this bar, type of people that frequent there and I am in another country now. So I may be wrong but there are some aspects to this story that do not make sense. Here is the situation as I understand it: Like me, you are also gay. You had a good month at work and...

    Visas US Citizenship for Baby question - Help!

    You should have plenty of time, but go now. Both of you must be present for the interview. The main hurdle you have is proving that the baby is his child, as that is what confers US citizenship on the child. If your documents are in order then things should go quite smoothly. No reason to fear...

    Economy No dollar purchases (for locals) unless travelling abroad?

    Sailor, what happened to your husband is happening to all of us. I was able to exchange a large amount only up until last month. I posted about it here last month and thought that I couldn't exchange because I had gone on to AFIP's website and put in a figure twice in one month...
