    Is buying a property and listing a fake price normal in Buenos Aires?

    This also my experience. Just remember that some notaries that handle the closing want to see how you bring in cash. Some don't care how you bring it in and say you're problem but one notary I talked to said she needs declaration form signed that cash was brought legally so she doesn't have...

    Paying for real estate in Buenos Aires with Bitcoin or crypto?

    This is what I see too. People only want cash when buying apartment here. So far no one I talk to want crypto-currency. All realtors we spoke to said no client owner accept bitcoin.

    Economy Javier Milei's Economic Reforms Are Already Paying Off in Argentina - Reason

    The problem is they need to change tax laws. My friend start business and she tells me that there are too many taxes. She wants to do everything legal and in white but she said there are many taxes. Now she understands why so many companies are in black under table.

    Anyone used Care There in Buenos Aires? Concierge medical care

    They have a WhatsApp link on their website. I asked them for their fees and this is what they responded. Their prices seem reasonable and very convenient to get prescriptions and tests. Regarding costs, the teleconsultation is priced at $30 USD, while the home visit consultation is $40 USD. For...

    Food & Drink Does anyone else notice their coffee recently not tasting good?

    I have to agree with you @Larry the coffee here is extremely expensive. This is one of my biggest complaints here. I don't understand how coffee can be so expensive here. Also many places don't have good coffee. One of my favorites is Juan Valdez Cafe. They have some locations but they opened...

    AFIP Tax Amnesty

    Yes I talked to some people that brought cash with Macri amnesty. They did not have any problems but they told me that they have to justify their spending for purchases they make. AFIP look at all the charges you make and activity in your bank account. That is why many still pay with cash here...

    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    This makes my heart melt. The locals are so welcoming to me and my family and friends. More and more families with young children from Russia are moving here each week. It seems like not many locals are having babies so we are doing all we can to make up for it. Argentina perfect place to raise...

    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    Every day I see more and more of my people from Russia in Buenos Aires. It makes me very happy. Look how good after short amount of time we can speak Spanish. Fortunately most people are very friendly and welcome us to Argentina. We see some Kukas here are sick. It is like they are sick in...

    This is the reaction of the typical Russian that arrives to Buenos Aires. Love our new city.

    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    Thank you for saying such nice things. I agree with you. We deserve a better government but that won't happen until people reject Putin. I fear things will deteriorate even more in the future and more wars and conflict in my country. We love Argentina but we hope we can go back to our country...

    New banking restrictions for expats living in Buenos Aires? Did anyone else get an email from their bank? (UIF Resolution 14/2023)

    I don't think Argentina will come off of Grey list. I have to believe money laundering here is very common. You can go into any cueva and wire in money undeclared and get cash. Same with crypto and not declared...

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    Of course Maduro doesn't want to do a new election. He would badly lose there too. https://en.mercopress.com/2024/08/16/maduro-disagrees-with-lula-s-idea-of-repeating-elections?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=main&utm_campaign=rss&ct=t(RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN)

    Day 6-7

    From what I read, Milei is saying we already passed through the toughest part of recession. We will see. Venezuela formally was a very wealthy country. They let it all go downhill too. I think the world has less room for tyrants now vs. before. It seem like Peronismo is losing ground here and...

    Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

    We don't find any problem with crime here. We go to Paris many time and see people stealing purses all the time and also phones. Here we have no problem but we are careful.

    Thank you Betsy! I saw your post on the other section about the place to order good quality milk. Thank you so much!

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    One thing we find very surprising here is that the milk and yogurts and cheeses here are so poor quality compared to Europe. Shocking when you think of all this fertile farmland. The bagged milk is quite surprising to us.
