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

    Wow! Thank you to everyone for all this great info! Great advice to start a new thread on the Citizenship option. That honestly sounds like a good option. Immediate citizenship seems more and more like a good idea and I'd love to read about that if someone starts a new thread on it. Thanks...

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

    @StatusNomadicus , Thank you bro! You're gung-ho! I love it. I just don't have the time. Between work and selling my townhouse and my mother getting a stroke a few months ago I am up to my eyeballs with things to do. I think for most people we put a value on our time. I don't know how...

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

    I love this blog. I am trying to figure out the best category to apply for my DNI for Argentina. I have a small trust fund and I believe I would qualify with that passive income. I saw this blog that says $2,000 USD per month. Has anyone done this recently? Is that still accurate...

    Western Union

    Make sure to check your Western Union account. My last day there I sent some money to one of my friends there and I had a free transfer in my Western Union account. I used WU a few times but I paid about $5.99 for $100 transfer and $8.99 for $200 US transfer. But the last one was free. And my...

    U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires, Argentina - Demonstration Alert: December 20, 2023

    I read about this online. It will be interesting how this plays out! Thousands of calls from people saying their unions are threatening them with not paying them payments if they don't attend the protests or fines for not going. I don't really understand this too well but sounds like corrupt...

    Don Julio now has $100 US steaks

    Then there is definitely inflation going on because I ate there less than 2 weeks ago and prices weren't that high. I had a Bife de Lomo and it wasn't that much.

    Politics Government says it will take away welfare from protesters who block streets - BA Herald

    This sounds like a good idea. I'm all for freedom of speech but not if you block roads that disrupt society and every day life. They are saying they can protest, just not block the roads. “Over the next few days, picketer organisations have called for a protest,” said the minister. “We wish...

    Javier Milei’s first week in power: Skyrocketing prices, threats of repression and calm in the markets

    And do you really think this wouldn't be the case if Massa won? Are you that naive?

    Sky-high inflation takes a toll on mental health in Argentina - AL JAZEERA

    The guy has only been in office 9 days yet the poor economy is all his fault? No matter who was in office there is no slowing down this inflation for a while.

    Upcoming events and things to do in Buenos Aires

    I'd have to assume they would definitely stay in the touristic areas of Palermo and Recoleta. It's not too far away and all the action is in this area. Palermo and Recoleta are the epicenter of activity. Are there many Airbnbs in that other area? I wouldn't think people would want to stay that...

    Legal Any risk to constantly overstaying on tourist visa? How many times can you do border runs in Argentina?

    To be fair it's not just like you can instantly get a DNI. Some people aren't in the country for a long enough period of time. I definitely know I will stay in the future and working on a DNI but haven't gotten to the actual specifics of applying. I agree once you know you will probably stay...

    December 20th is the anniversary of the Corralito

    It truly is remarkable how civilized the locals are in the face of such diversity and difficulties with their economy over and over.

    And where were all the posts about skyrocketing prices before Milei got elected. LOL.

    Sweet! @Larry you planning to go to the protest? If so, you and @Che Vos and @Avocado can carpool. You all can go to jail together. I'll send an Uber Comfort for you all.

    Police Report Procedure

    Ha. Yeah, I used to wear a Rolex that my grandfather got me. But when the Apple Watch came out I sold it and have had an Apple Watch since. I did ask him first if he minded if I sold it and he said he was never prouder of me. Zenith! I'd love to see a photo of that beauty! I had one of...

    Comical reading BAexpats.org Threads!

    Agreed @FuturoBA ! It boggles my mind that people from the old forum really care. You would think they originally posted to share information about Buenos Aires. I wonder if the Admin made up screen names recently as @StatusNomadicus mentioned? After all, who really cares if their post is...

    Comical reading BAexpats.org Threads!

    @JonJLA I think the fact that Igor/Admin deleted your factual post tells the true story. I will confirm I am an actual client of @BuySellBA not that it matters. I have met @Cariba in person when I had to leave some money to make my deposit on the new apartment I am buying. She was telling me...
