    Peso long-term rental prices set to drastically increase with inflation index!

    My friend was very happy with a long-term lease she had with a property owner for several years that she got locked into during Covid. She had a great deal where her rental contract was in pesos and was for 3 years and only could get adjusted once a year. With Milei's new law, it got more...

    Passport Bros posting on Tik Tok about moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Most of these videos have stopped. Many passport bros are broke and only go to really cheap destinations. @Spend Thrift I guess there could be different definitions but here is what what it says online. A “Passport Bro” is a term used to describe a man, often from Western countries like the...

    @fool in love, So very sorry to hear about your loss. I also dealt with a sick spouse. I had to take care of my wife for many years. I know what you are going through. People don't understand what you are going through and don't feel like you have to explain yourself. You are still...

    Medical Healthcare medical monthly premiums are going to get increased!

    This isn't true. Vaccines are proven to be effective. I agree COVID vaccine was rushed but vaccines have proven to be very effective. Anti-vaxxers are just plain wrong. Vaccines are considered one of the most important advances in modern medicine and have greatly improved our quality of...

    Newcomer WTF is the deal with Pedestrians not having the right of way in Buenos Aires. I almost got killed today at a green light

    Absolutely, and hats off to the logic here! If you're not bothering to enforce rules for the four-wheeled beasts, why bother with the two-legged pedestrians, right? I mean, everyone gets to be a pedestrian at some point, but not everyone's rocking the driver's seat. Plus, let's be real, walking...

    How much should I be tipping at restaurants? What is the tipping etiquette in Buenos Aires or Argentina?

    I leave 10% propina. The people are very honest. My first week I had an amazing experience. I chatted with the waitress and talked about her home town of Salta. She as very friendly. Asked where I was from. Had great English. I am fluent in Spanish but I could see how excited she was...

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

    I believe that is 2 years but rules and regulations are always changing sometimes on a monthly basis. I was just supposed to do a consultation with Mr. Celano this week. It doesn't sound like it was worth it? See it sounds like you ask 10 different people and get 10 different answers. So...

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

    Thanks for posting! Yes it is very frustrating. I felt I was so close and now I feel so far away. I don't think I will have enough time but I will try and see. I don't like to give up. But I have to admit this country is nothing like I have experienced with how inefficient and unorganized it...

    Newcomer Do you know of any soccer fields in Palermo where we can play with friends?

    Thank you. Would they find me weird if I went out and just started kicking the ball around myself? I don't have a problem paying it just for me. Is that strange?

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

    I SHOULD quit while I'm down. But I'm 50% Texan and I'm going to "Remember the Alamo!". Oh wait. I'm also 50% Mexican too. Not sure what to do. In the meantime, does anyone know how I can get the FBI arrest report Apostilled? I looked on the website and see if I'm out of the USA I have to...

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

    I feel like such a failure. Here I was bragging about being Leo and I sure was Leo only the dead Leo in the freezing cold weather. Migraciones sure poured the freezing cold water on me. Now I'm dead Leo with the white lips! Failure! Any one have any good immigration attorney referrals?

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

    To add insult to injury I just looked and now it says they cancelled my precaria! It was originally valid until February 15, 2024! I'm not 100% sure they cancelled it. I thought I was pretty smart (like Leo in Titanic) but looks like I'm going down with the ship! When I exit now I guess I...

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

    OK sorry everyone. You know that scene in Titanic when Leonardo de Caprio was painting Kate Winslet nude and he thought he was going to end up with her after the voyage but ended up dying in the freezing cold in the middle of the freezing Atlantic instead. So I'm NOT king of the world. I...
