A friend’s cousin just started working at Globant. He’s in tech, and apparently it completely changed his life. He can actually save money, travel, and has better benefits than most people I know here. I was told that in job interviews, they even ask: “Are you aiming for one of the big ones?”...

There are companies in the US that can handle the apostille part for you (just do a quick Google search and you’ll find plenty). But you’ll need to download and print the fingerprint card from the US Embassy website, then get your fingerprints taken here in Buenos Aires, the Embassy site...

Totally hear you. It’s kind of hit-or-miss depending on the office in Provincia. The civil registry offices in CABA are more used to dealing with foreigners, but once you go outside the city, some staff don’t really know the rules. According to the law, a passport is fine, as long as you can...

Yup, finally! You can now ride the subte in Buenos Aires using a QR code, no NFC, no SUBE card needed. Just open your digital wallet app scan the code at the turnstile, and you're good to go. It works on all lines and the Premetro too. Super handy if you forget your SUBE, run out of balance, or...

Here we go again… Isn’t that number a bit excessive? Over 9.5 million a month? Meanwhile, regular salaries are barely keeping up with inflation. 😒 https://www.infobae.com/politica/2025/06/03/vuelven-a-aumentar-los-sueldos-de-los-senadores-cobraran-mas-de-95-millones-el-mes-proximo/

Wow… hadn’t heard about this yet. Thanks for the heads up! Gonna dig into the details, hope it doesn’t mess with my visa plans 😅

Honestly, I used to think most schools didn’t really teach English, or that it was super basic… but I was surprised. In a lot of public schools, they start teaching it around 4th or 5th grade, and in places like Buenos Aires City, even from 1st grade. Private schools are a whole different story...

I support Milei’s administration, but that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize it. Not everything has to be perfect or liked 100% of the time. When they make these kinds of unnecessary comments, all they’re doing is giving more fuel to the opposition and pushing people away. And honestly, if...

Yes, that explanation above is pretty accurate. Just to add a bit of context: usually, when someone buys real estate here, about 30% of the property’s value is paid in what they call “white” money, that’s the official amount on the books, and the rest is typically paid in “black” money. If the...

Alright, Caputo, what's the deal now? Another dollar thing. I don't even know what to believe anymore. Dollarization? Parallel market? Sounds like more of the same old song and dance, but hey, we'll see what happens. Anyone got a clue what he's cooking up?

Totally agree with you. Right now, the smartest move is still holding on to dollars. Things are way too unstable to trust the peso long-term. It might go up a bit here and there, but in the end, we always end up in the same place. And with elections coming up, everything just gets even more...

You're right! This woman is gorgeous, he’s definitely leveled up… but honestly, I think he should just focus on politics for now.

Another gem for the never-ending list of corruption in this country… This time the star is Emerenciano Ayala, a well-known piquetero, who ended up in jail thanks to his own security camera, yeah, the one he installed at home "for safety" that ended up filming him casually counting stacks of cash...

According to analysts, the dollar will keep rising, while inflation will continue to decrease, though in reality, it will remain high for the population...

It's true that the economy plays a big role in the decision to move here, but more and more foreigners I talk to say that they feel happier living here. It really depends on what you're looking for in life. I have a friend who came here initially for just two months to see if he could adapt to...

Try Chris Francis, I’ve contacted him through Facebook. He’s the best and will come to your place without any issues. Reach out to him! https://www.facebook.com/christo.shanker1976/

You’re absolutely right about private schools being almost essential here, though I’d add that in CABA, public schools tend to be better than those in the province, and some even have a very high standard. That said, Kicillof really needs to invest more in education. Uncle Wong’s point is spot...

I immediately went to check my statement, haha. Luckily, I wasn’t affected. Now I understand all the complaints and posts people are making on Twitter about credit cards. Hopefully, they sort this out soon!

I just read that instead of easing tensions, the leader of this union announced another train strike for March 1. From what I understand, it's one of the highest-paid and most conflictive unions...

Hi Everyone, Yesterday, my friend and I exited Galerías Pacífico onto Avenida Córdoba, where we saw a group of taxi drivers chatting. We approached them and mentioned our destination. One of them quoted us 10,000 pesos, clearly taking advantage of the fact that we were foreigners. Instead, we...
