On the background check what are they checking for? Is it only serious crimes? In college many years ago I got a DUI. Would Argentina care about that arrest and record?

Milei seems like he is very savvy with social media. Probably stupid to use his name in anything financially related. Funny about this realtor. Realtor's are the worst there in BA!

Is there some spreadsheet or total listed anywhere of the total amount of dollars that they have uncovered with fraud? How much is being saved heading into the future so far with all this fraud stopped?

This is a good point Lucia. Argentina has so much to offer but unfortunately a lot of brokemads are going to go where the dollar is strong and their cost of living is low. I am sure some consider the plight of locals but many are only self interested on going where their dollar can last the...

I posted this the other day in another thread. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/la-disputa-entre-el-gobierno-y-los-piqueteros-escala-en-la-justicia-con-denuncias-cruzadas-nid14052024/...

Great empanadas! Really good service too. Only a few tables upstairs but they have a downstairs area as well.

Thanks for posting this thread! I went to Piola recently and it was really fabulous. Loved it.

I think I recall someone posting about ATM machines in Buenos Aires that allow you to withdraw dollars. Or am I mistaken? I think I saw someone withdrawing what looked like US Dollars from an ATM machine today. Is this possible today? If so, how?

Adding my data point. The rate I got today was 1,052 to $1 US Dollar.

It was at Sheikob's Bagels in Palermo. https://maps.app.goo.gl/LsaaHMQgp2TE4Hqq7

I am curious if restaurants in Buenos Aires will start charging a surcharge to use a foreign credit card? My friend told me two places in Palermo he has recently visited started mentioning that there is a 10% surcharge to use a foreign credit card that will utilize the MEP rate. How do the...

I also tried while I was there and I couldn't sign up. We asked our Airbnb host and they were very nice and they ordered what we wanted and it was very quick and came the next day just like Amazon at home. Very quick and easy. I did the same thing trying to sign up with passport and driver's...

Thank you! Yes, I found the hardest working people and the best Uber drivers were from Venezuela. Not to say the Argentine Uber drivers weren't friendly but I haven't been too impressed in many stores with the local workers. It is almost as if they are doing you a favor to help you which is...

Thank you for taking time to respond. Yes I read old posts but he doesn't seem to post much at all. Too bad Argentina does not make it easier to get permanent residency. Seems like a complicated mess even under the best of circumstances.

Does this lawyer give you any refund if he can't get Citizenship on that initial fee? I assume not. He sounds like the only lawyer taking that approach. I wonder how successful he is?

Wow! $17.99 fee? How much are you sending @Darksider415? I sent $100 USD today via WU and I only paid $5.99 but it was a cash pick up. Have you tried Remitly? That seems to have really low fees but the exchange rate is less. My friend sent me that option as well but Western Union was very...

I met a nice Uber driver that we used as a private driver several times and became friends with. She was from Venezuela. She was crying one day when she talked about her struggles. Amazing how hard the Venezuelans there are. Something amazing is almost every one that we got was from...

I asked my local friends there that I met why this is happening and they said that many locals are just tapped out and selling their US dollars that they had saved to pay bills, etc. I am not sure if this is true or not but a few mentioned they are having to liquidate their savings in dollars...

It was a lot of fun and very affordable. Here it is: https://www.viator.com/en-CA/tours/Buenos-Aires/Local-cooking-with-BsAs-Mio-Empanadas-Alfajores-Mate/d901-417208P1

We only speak a very little bit of Spanish and could get by. No back and forth conversations but many of the restaurants we ate in someone always spoke English. We ate at nicer restaurants and in those places our server always spoke English. In Ubers not so much but we never had any issues at...
