    Food & Drink CADORE Ice Cream, Corrientes Street

    I was just there a few nights ago. Bought 1/2kg to go with pistacho, quinotos con whiskey and higo con nueces. Best in town indeed.

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    @Betsy Ross @Sunny I'm still in the process at Swiss Medical and be advised that implant is a long process especially in Argentina. In a normal country, scheduling an appointment wouldn't take this long but here it took me almost 3 months to get a turno for one single tooth extraction. And...

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    Just talked to my friend. He said that after getting his fingerprints at juzgado fixed and went back to Renaper again, Renaper found another flaw (that they failed to mention the first time) and asked him to have juzgado fix it again. He then went back to juzgado and explained to them and even...

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    A friend of mine got his carta de ciudadania a while ago. The first time the judge forgot to sign it so he had to wait. After the judge finally signed it he then brought it to Renaper to get a new DNI only to be rejected due to his fingerprints not being clear enough for them. So, he had to go...

    Argentina has highest rice price in the world now - Thank you Milei!

    Back in August last year I went to Las Cataratas de Iguazu and thought to myself that given the proximity between Missiones and Brazil, the town of Puerto Iguazu must be flooded with all things Brazilian. And I was hoping to get some coffee back to CABA with me among other things. It was a...

    Argentina has highest rice price in the world now - Thank you Milei!

    Nope. If I don't get my supply directly from Italy, I buy Brazilian coffee at Neway Market near Callao station on la B. A vacuum pack of 500g normally ranges from 8,000-10,000 pesos depending on the brand. Pilao seems to be the most expensive one but I also like 3 Coracoes, Caboclo and a couple...

    Argentina has highest rice price in the world now - Thank you Milei!

    No, 21,770 pesos you see in the photo is the price of 1 unit. That big pack of 5 units costs 11.90 euro in Italy which is roughly 13,300 pesos so one of them = 13,300/5 = 2,660 pesos in Italy. Clear?

    Argentina has highest rice price in the world now - Thank you Milei!

    I'm scared of the prices of anything imported now. Please see below: A friend of mine was coming from Rome so I asked him to buy me some Lavazza coffee. This pack of 5 costs 11.90 euro which is roughly the same as USD now. So one of them costs let's round it up to $2.5. This is the price...

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    Your case is so much faster than mine. Mine took 7 months and I married a native Argentine! 🤣

    Traveling before the DNI arrives

    I don't need a visa for Brazil either but I would bring my passport if I were to go there because I'm not an Argentine national yet. That's why I pointed out an example of a country where the visa is required for a specific national and entry allowance lies directly with your citizenship. It...

    Traveling before the DNI arrives

    I believe the rules lie with your nationality e.g. if your nationality is Argentine (and other Mercosur or other neighboring countries that have an agreement with one another for freedom of movement within the region), you can go to Brazil with only your DNI but if you are a foreign national...

    Traveling before the DNI arrives

    Seems like it's random. Some cases take longer. Mine took about a month from the day the status changed to 'resuelto' until the plastic actually arrived (7 months in total since the case was registered into the system).

    Traveling before the DNI arrives

    I can't speak for everyone, but personally, after dealing with a bunch of headaches and hassles at Migraciones here, getting my DNI not only brought a wave of relief but also a sense of pride whenever I had to whip it out for something. It felt like a real achievement, you know? 🤣

    Traveling before the DNI arrives

    Wow I didn't know it would take that long. I suppose I was lucky I got mine in a month. In my opinion, just print out the resolution and show it to the immigration officers and that should do it. Tell them you're waiting for your plastic. But then again I have no direct experience. I also wonder...

    Traveling before the DNI arrives

    Have you tracked your DNI where it is in the process? Once the status changes from Produccion to Embajaje it is pretty quick. Mine took about a month from the resolution till the plastic arrived.

    Welcome @ognjen Both you and @earlyretirement are right about the walkability but also let me remind you guys that there's a high possibility that you will step on a pile of dog poop if you're not careful :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I'm also in the process of acquiring Argentinian citizenship. Has...

    Sometimes the cashier will ask you if you have Comunidad but you can just tell them that you have the Comunidad and here's the number.
