So far we're all-in on Argentina, but it's nice having options.

Yep, she's Brazilian, but her grandmother is Portuguese, so the paperwork isn't bad. Fortunately, being Brazilian cuts out some of the bureaucracy when claiming the PT citizenship, just like it did with the AR residency.

Hmmm.... My wife and I are eligible to live there already... We've just submitted all the paperwork for her to claim her PT citizenship and I can derive EU right to residency through her...

Clothes/sheets/towels are all lower quality and higher priced in Argentina... For example, Jumbo has bath towels that are about the same size as the ones we just picked up at Marshalls, and roughly the same price (around US $8 each), but from experience, the ones from Jumbo are super thin and...

This. My wife and I are currently in very rural Tennessee visiting my family for Thanksgiving, and it's crazy how high all the prices are compared to BA. We're stocking up on clothes/towels/bedsheets/electronics here, but we're also really looking forward to getting home where we can afford to...

The men around were basically, "You dumb gringa, why aren't you getting out of the situation?" but nicely.... Literally yelling at her, giving her instructions on what she should do. Even I, probably the most gringo gringo to ever gringo, know that when the ladrones start following and talking...

I'm just waiting for the taxi mafias to start getting broken up outside AMBA... It's annoying when I go to Neuquén to have to deal with the taxi mobsters who price gouge like crazy, going from the airport into the city.

At least in my circles, a clear delineator between those who are pro and against Milei is age... For those under about 35, my friends are overwhelmingly pro-Milei, to the point where I don't have any (known) friends who don't support him. For my friends who are older, attitudes are starting to...

Admittedly I'm very biased, but I'd be very okay with having fewer gringos and digital brokemads in exchange for reasonably-priced business class tickets between here and Miami.

I figured it was a sign things were slowing down when I saw that Don Julio now has a 20% discount for Club La Nación members.

We're paying 6k/hour plus transport, and adjusting for inflation roughly every 3 months. Our last adjustment was at the beginning of August, so we'll be adjusting it again in November.

I did a little photoshoppery of the Aduanas sign in Ezeiza, to make it a bit more truthful. The high import taxes/tariffs are why electronics and clothing (and autos) are so stupidly expensive in this country, relative to incomes.

This is part of why we're pushing to get my wife's taken care of while her grandmother is still alive. It's harder to say no to someone who meets the requirements, when their Portuguese ancestor is literally living in Lisbon right now.

She's Portuguese by descent. Her grandmother is Portuguese, which means she's eligible. I absolutely am referring to the US. Depending on where you are, it can be very nice in _certain_ areas, but if you've ever spent time outside the touristy bits in recent years... Ooof. I spent years in...

This is one of the reasons we're doing the paperwork to get my wife's Portuguese citizenship, so we don't have to jump through the hoops to renew her US visa when the time comes. Especially since the presumption is now, "Oh, you're married to a US citizen, you're just going to come and stay"...

FWIW, I think Milei's team is working on making a lot of the hoops go afuera; we're still in the early days where they're bringing people around to the new way of doing things, though. That, and I know for a long time, Migraciones was basically where Kirchneristas were sent to collect years of...

For what it's worth, I was able to get mine the same day.

If it hasn't been made clear yet, do NOT delete or lose anything sent to you until you've got the DNI physically in hand, because you will need things from the day you filed the paperwork on RaDeX...

Okay, the numero de boleta prenumerada would've been received at the very beginning of the process, for they were running around to pay everything in four different places. It'll be in a PDF file labeled "Boleta_Renaper_<long number>.pdf in their email. You'll need that 26 digit number to...

To get the ID Tramite number from ReNaPer, you'll go through the following with their WhatsApp bot: Option E (Estado del Tramite) Option A (Hablar con agente) After that, you'll need your full name and the 26 digit numero de boleta prenumerada. Then, they'll give you the ID Tramite.
