Agree the peso is way way overvalued but also Argentina has crazy import taxes that need to be eliminated.

Truthful post! All the Milei supporters that whine about Cristina ironically were much better off with the looting she did. Everyone is suffering now!

If the police started giving tickets for breaking Law 451 1.3.12, the poop issue could be fixed in a few months by charging fines. It would make a big change that everyone could see. Even though the law was made a long time ago, it's never really enforced. If someone gets caught and has to pay...

I recommend reading about the runaway slave law in New York in 1850. You'll see why some people think it's unfair because it allows a woman's statement to be enough for conviction, without any evidence, if she reports it and confirms it in court. I got accused of punching a woman who didn't...

So, with Macri, they hit us with the frozen exchange rate, and voila, we got ourselves some inflation in good old USD. Like, who knew freezing things could make them inflate? It's probably the same old story now. Classic Argentina, right?

Oh, just a quick tidbit for you – there's the CIE exams by the University of Cambridge, accepted for international university admissions. My sister's little ones had a stint at St Hildas in Hurlingham, a bilingual school, and she wasrather chuffed with the teaching, especially in the pre-K...

Not sure if you've been living under a rock @Larry but you should google Vaca Muerta! https://www.argentina.gob.ar/economia/energia/vaca-muerta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaca_Muerta

Watch and see. These new best friends will work out a deal that helps the wealthy Musk and his various companies but does very little for Argentines or Argentina. Maybe very cheap lithium extraction for Tesla and Musk? With very few benefits for Argentina. I doubt many jobs would be created...

I give mine 35,000 pesos this year.

The crux of the matter lies in the agreement of parties to a contract or transaction denominated in dollars. In such instances, the obligation to fulfill the contractual obligation resides in dollars rather than the local currency. To illustrate, in the event of a dispute arising from a contract...

The minimum salary can be seen here below. https://www.argentina.gob.ar/noticias/capital-social-se-actualizo-el-monto-del-salario-minimo-vital-y-movil#:~:text=Seg%C3%BAn%20la%20%C3%BAltima%20actualizaci%C3%B3n%2C%20el,capital%20social%20de%20tu%20entidad. For this month it is 156,000 pesos...

It used to be rare that they would reject you but now with technology and software it's easier for them to see how long you have been staying here. It formally was immigration officer discretion but now there is a formula and they are required to report it if it shows you have been overstaying...

Thank you for your service!

I have been a member of the old forum for many, many years. It is a good forum with a lot of people. I like the format of this forum better but the other one has far more users. I also agree it's not good to selectively edit posts. That has happened to me too there. There are 2 sides to...

Yes, that is not an issue. Argentina is a very generous country for people planning to "milk "the system like you. Ha. No pun intended!

It's advisable and I recommend applying for citizenship before the baby is born. This is not only more respectful to your wife but also safer for the baby. The other children will need to wait until one of you obtains citizenship. No visa is required for your stay. The process typically takes...

I am also a spicy food fan. It's good that there are so many of us out there. I am thrilled that the culinary scene has expanded in Buenos Aires over the past many years. It was dull and boring before the big crash in 2002 and the subsequent years when foreigners started investing here in...

You mean illegal immigrants who do not want to admit it?

Why are you so worried? Did you do something wrong to her? If you signed a prenup I don't see why you're so worried. It would take significant amount of money for her to find your assets in the USA. Unless of course you told her or left your excel spreadsheet with all your assets. She would...

All of this should be specified with the lease contract you signed. Rental contracts don't need to be signed in front of a Notary. I don't recommend legal action as it will only cost you money. The judicial system doesn't really work in Argentina or too slow. Rental prices are going to keep...
