    Libertarians outside of Argentina are interested in paying $500,000 USD for an Argentine passport

    It sounds like many foreigners are interested in this program. I talked to a Chinese guy that I met in the mall at Alto Palermo and it was interesting. He said that many of his extended family are coming here next year with this program. His cousin owns a large chain of Chinese mini-markets...

    The feud between Trump and Elon Musk is all about Argentina

    Best part of the article: “Trump is making all the classic Argentine mistakes,” former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said in early April. “Our own Juan Perón.”

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    This guy again! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: The funny thing is he tries to pitch these penny stocks and charge people for the advice! Some people have no shame. At least he finally found a job. It looks like some company hired him. His posts on X talked about quitting and leaving Argentina and doing your...

    Argentina Immigration Changes Coming Affecting Healthcare insurance requirement, Education and Deportation

    I wouldn't trust anything that guy says. He mainly works with Chinese that have long overstayed illegally. I don't think he is correct. Many other immigration lawyers are worried this time. They won't rule the entire thing unconstitutional. Celano's office said we need to wait and see which...

    Real estate sales are heating up: price increases of up to 20% are expected before the end of the year

    I would believe someone more that said prices jumped up 8X on things vs someone that says there is NO inflation in dollars. That is laughable! Maybe if you dug a hole and just living in a hole and don't spend anything, don't have kids, not going out much or avoiding restaurants but even the...

    Socialtel Selina Palermo Soho Hostel & Cowork suddenly shut down in Palermo Soho

    How terrible for the employees! I heard they went bankrupt last year but can't imagine things would be easy in Argentina anyway. Yes Brazil closed down. Sounds like the sketchy owners were doing weird things in Argentina and cheating their employees. Correct. I dated a few girls that were from...

    Legal Any risk to constantly overstaying on tourist visa? How many times can you do border runs in Argentina?

    I don't know why Argentina makes it so easy for poor South Americans moving here. It is clear they don't have any money and automatically can live here because of Mercosur status. But Americans that have money have a tough time without paying a lawyer and even paying a lawyer it takes 6 months...

    Best Move I Ever Made

    If you are an old fart and have no kids or a wife it sounds like it is cheap and easy. But ain't no way you can afford $1,300 a month and live comfortably with children. @daveholman didn't you say you had a young daughter? How much would it cost you to raise your daughter here and your wife...

    Real Estate Sales Great New Construction For Sale that is going to be Completed by August 2024 - Meet Palermo

    That is crazy! I assume prices are in dollars? Your occupancy rates look impressive. I see tons of cheap properties on Airbnb all over BA. That is a solid income stream. Do you get your cash here in BA? How do taxes work?

    Do Buenos Aires expats easily get scammed and gullible?

    :ROFLMAO: Poor fool. I don't want to victim blame anyone but you would have to be ignorant to fall for this. I just read that post and saw the circumstances. "Elite nomad lifestyle coach". :ROFLMAO: What is that even? He said he did due diligence then admitted he found a Google post where...

    Argentines losing patience with Austerity measures

    More austerity measures coming. Going to be interesting what happens before the elections. Trump seems like he is going to do the same as Milei and don't think it will turn out good for the USA. USA is probably going to go into recession this year if tariffs go through.

    Argentina and the IMF: Can This Marriage Be Saved?

    Milei keeps saying the IMF funds are coming soon. Been saying that for a year now. When will it come? What is the delay??? https://www.voanews.com/a/in-address-to-congress-argentine-president-milei-promises-imf-deal-and-lauds-economic-wins-/7994399.html

    So much for Milei promoting free markets - Milei vows ‘monopoly’ probe as Telefónica sells to Clarín

    So much for Milei promoting free markets and no red tape. Seems like a fair deal but Milei has insider ties to the other companies competing. Every day he is coming across as more and more of a fraud...

    Crazy prices of lavandería! Is it just me?

    I noticed the same thing! I went to a place to get my bed sheets washed and the first place wanted 10k pesos. I finally found a place that would do it for 7k but that was the lowest. The other 2 I tried were 9k and 8k. 7k was the lowest I could find. $6 dollars to wash a pair of sheets!
