Great news that inflation is slowing down. That's a big improvement.

My friend there says anything imported is crazy expensive there. Crazy import and VAT taxes she said. Plus it sounds like there are all sorts of protectionist things going on to protect the local companies. I would think if the government allowed importing of good quality stuff at good prices...

Sounds like you are making progress!

Wow that seems really quick! My friend there has friends that are going through this process and they said it has been super painful. Glad yours went so quickly. Wow that is crazy that you married a local and yours took longer!

Thanks but my friend there in town with just a CDI number said she was unsuccessful opening a bank account. They didn't allow her to open one without a DNI which she doesn't have.

I don't understand something. I thought Argentina barely had any black people. I just saw this post. https://www.expatsba.com/threads/black-people-in-argentina.3129/ So how is the lady on the new 10,000 peso bill? Is this just woke politics? Seems strange Milei would do this.

Sounds like this is a big problem in all of South America. These things look huge!

Question. I heard that many employees live outside of the city so when there are strikes like this how do they get into work into the city when there is no transportation?

I saw this on X. Is the government cracking down on perma-tourists? Or will they??? Or did these people just not enter legally? Is overstaying your tourist visa considered illegal?

Any updates @Avocado? On a positive note, I was scrolling through X and I saw tuna can prices have drastically fallen in Argentina!

I was just wondering about this. All the more reason I am glad I am waiting until it's colder. I hate mosquitos!

I joined ExpatsBA because my best friend moved down to BA as a digital nomad a few months ago. She keeps trying to get me to come down but all your good information has prevented me from coming and dealing with messes like mosquitos there. I have delayed my trip twice. In those 3 months so...

Can't you just buy furniture online like anywhere else in the world?

I tried that after see it go viral but the wine does NOT taste good. Tastes like a $10 bottle of wine.

I enjoy everything about Thailand except for the weather. The food and culture and people are the best!

Do these happen often?
