My DNI doesn't expire until August 2028. I said I wanted a new one with a new photo. No problem. I also had to sign my signature for the new card. They don't just make a new copy of the old DNI with a new photo. The new card will be delivered in a couple of weeks. I'll keep the old one as a...

I had an appointment today at a place only four blocks from my apartment. Checked in and waited only a few minutes until my name appeared on the screen telling me to go to a certain desk. The woman filed out the form with all my information and said there was no charge*. Then I went to another...

I ran into a problem a few months ago when I tried to buy a quantity of tango LPs for a friend. MercadoLibre would not allow the purchase after years of using my account.

There is zero chance this will end well. Macri and ilk will be voted out. Replaced by even more populist popliticians who will not conform to the IMF terms. End result will be more disaster for argentina and it will be blamed on the IMF.

Only on this forum would someone compare the racism of the African apartheid to what Argentines will pay to enter a milonga in BA vs. NYC. It's easy to believe that aliens exist once you spend 5 minutes reading posts on ExpatsBA.

Just use your regular phone if its price is under 1000 dollars. I would not carry something like this one around, though.

Forgive me but maybe i don't understand the system very well but isn't the AFIP just trying to get people to pay their proper share of taxes? It seems like a lot of business is done here under the table anyway. I understand that the government is capable of squandering the tax revenue, but all...
