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

    The wealthy Chinese are going everywhere. My sister in Orange County said more and more rich Chinese are moving into her area. Seems like they will seek out the best neighborhoods so Palermo probably will skyrocket. Belgrano and Nunez too. I also noticed more in Palermo Chico lately.

    Banking Credit Card real-world rate "MEP" transaction repo (Dec2023)

    ARCA could go out tomorrow and fine everyone. I have only been here a few years but I think most companies and people operate in the black some way. Best that I can tell it is almost impossible to do everything legally. Even if you wanted to. @FuturoBA you make a great point about level of...

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

    Same thing happened to us. 50% increase. We balked and hesitated but then we took a look at what else is out there. Many places have gone up. @Darksider415 you are probably like us. We already made it our home and we have a cat and cat proofed it with netting outside of the balconies and...

    Politics The Argentine Government resigned from the BRICS through a letter sent by President Javier Milei - CNN

    I don't really get why this is a smart move. I feel like Argentina should totally take a page from India's book. You know, just chill in the middle, be friends with everyone, and do business with everyone too. Look at India – they're becoming a total powerhouse. But nope, Milei seems to have a...

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    I don't know costs in the United States so well as I only go one time per year but last time I go in November it was very expensive! People on here that say Argentina is same cost as USA is very wrong. Maybe some small city. I don't know but we go to NYC or Los Angeles or Las Vegas. In Los...

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    You laugh @Jakoval but the same exact thing happened to me on my last cleaning! That wasn't normal. I go once per year for cleaning of my teeth and never before but last time 2 months ago they have me hold the piece for suction. I asked them and they say the girl out sick. Very strange for...

    Love Advice - Fell in love with an escort in Buenos Aires - Is it real love?

    Great for you @fool in love. Just have fun. I know how you feel @Bride to Be! I always joke with people that I "tricked" my DH into marrying me. I had spent years trying to find the one here in Buenos Aires but local guys don't like to marry. I found a great American guy to slap the...

    Fun Bachelorette Party in Buenos Aires

    Fair point. It was all going to be harmless. I don't think I would ever cheat on my husband unless he cheated on me first. You're right I will ask him if I can go with his sister. I see what you did there! But you're right! But I'm ok if he goes there. I tell him he can look but not...

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    Huge thanks for sharing info. I wonder why they request things that you already sent. That must be frustrating to have to send the same info. Did you get discouraged when you saw they were asking for the same thing? Are you nervous at all about your interview? I know you shouldn't be but...

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    Hi @Jakoval, Did you pay the expedite fee? My DH said he paid some expedite fee. I didn't take this to mean a bribe. But maybe it was! Ha! He said there was some expedite fee that he paid when we applied. Where did you apply? Maybe this has to do with speed. Our case was done in Moreno...

    Medical Healthcare medical monthly premiums are going to get increased!

    Yes we also have OSDE plan and our premium just went up 11.1% But it' has been going up that much the past few months. I'm at least glad it's a gradual increase vs. 40% overnight. It's still affordable my husband said compared to the USA for private medical insurance.

    Taxes Argentina May Issue Bond to Pay $16 Billion Award in YPF Lawsuit - Bloomberg

    Yes, I agree with you. I wonder how President Milei will do. I know we need these changes to improve Argentina but I hope people give him time to see if his changes work. @GlasgowJohn What you think the blue dollar will do after January? It go up?
