    Newcomer "Yerba Mate" Argentina

    Interesting as they don't drink this in Mexico. Is this mainly an Argentina and Uruguay thing? I didn't see it in Colombia or Brazil when I visited either.

    Real Estate News What is the method to build and live in a 75 square meter house in just 6 weeks? - Infobae

    Very true. I have a house in Mexico and also bricks. Very sturdy. You don't have earthquakes in Argentina but in Mexico we have that risk. Good to hear Argentina is the same.

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    Yes I noticed this here. Worst customer service out of any country I have been to! I have read many posts online and other forums and all seem to complain. I just read this post on another board. I did email Celano but didn't hear back. U.S. Embassy is confirming that many Americans are...

    A newsletter for expats in Buenos Aires

    Thanks. I'll go and fill it out today. Submissions might be slow because there are just so many resources for Buenos Aires. A few forums and Reddit, a few Facebook groups. Lots of information out there and people sharing on a bunch of forums so they might be gunshy to submit to another.

    Newcomer More Provinces Charge Foreigners for Public Hospital Care

    This makes sense no make foreigners pay for their own medical procedures as they don't pay any taxes at all. I wouldn't be expecting to get that free. I would assume the prices are still reasonable.

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

    It looks like finally may be happening. After enough sh*t people finally will speak up. The police are starting to quit too.

    I just tried this Mate and it is very good! Cool story. It's by an American girl that moved to Argentina to start her own mate brand. You can buy it in Coto. Cósmico Yerba Mate. https://www.yerbacosmico.com/

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    Question. Why are the immigration lawyers here so bad in Argentina? Most don't even respond to emails. I emailed some of the ones mentioned on this and other forums and even after 2-3 weeks no one ever gets back. Seems strange to me. Never heard of an immigration attorney that doesn't respond to...
