    Newcomer Forget Palermo - What are the Best Barrios for expats?

    Should start by saying we permanently live in a small town out in the BsAs Province so you can ignore what I say. However my wife and I have a small apartment in BA situated on Ave Uruguay two blocks from Ave Santa Fe. I haven't a clue what the area is called to be honest. I like the area as...

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

    That's how it used to work but not in reality. I've had two letters from GOV UK sent to me which never arrived and no note was left by Correo at the house. My wife has had mobile messages in recent weeks tellng her to go to the main post office in town to pick up packages. Packages which they...

    Getting married in Argentina.

    Been so long ago I've forgotten most of the process but yes there's a lot of faffing about involved. We got 'married' twice in two days as a church wedding isn't officially recognised here which I found strange. My wife dealt with all the paperwork and other stuff. As it's a small town we live...

    Food & Drink Are there any good quality seafood restaurants in Buenos Aires? Most are poor quality and blah

    I used to buy and eat quality fish and seafood every week in Scotland. Given the size of coastline I thought I'd be able to do the same when coming to live here. I soon found out I was wrong with both the quality and variety severely lacking. Some decent prawns can be purchased however you end...

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

    Indeed Spot on. (y) Truth be told this country has been a basket case for years and years. Hard to believe, given it was once rated as one of the richest countries in the world. Drastic action has had to be taken in order for the positive results to be seen during Milei's term. Otherwise in...
