Hi! I understand how frustrating this is. I found some information that might be helpful for you: Appointments are required: For almost all services at the Embassy, you must schedule an appointment in advance. They generally do not see people without a prior appointment, even U.S. citizens...

The dollar is back on the rise! After several days of going down, it finally climbed today, surpassing 1,400 ARS at Banco Nación. All this happened on a pretty volatile day, even though Scott Bessent confirmed that the U.S. sold dollars in the local market again. Who else was following the daily...

For everyone who’s always asking about neighborhoods and which ones are best to live in: if having easy access to public transport is a must for you, here’s an article that could be really helpful...

It looks like the dollar will keep rising, especially after the elections. The general feeling is that the market is a bit nervous, and people are moving faster to protect their savings. Top analysts agree that this could put more pressure on prices, and the gap between the official and parallel...

I’ve always supported him, but doesn’t he have an advisor to guide him? Yesterday, he seemed more like a rockstar than a politician. https://www.clarin.com/politica/modo-rockstar-milei-canto-hits-presidente-afirmo-mitad-camino-aflojen_0_yWpRgUiGjW.html

Have you heard about the triple murder linked to drug trafficking? It honestly feels like a Netflix series. The more details that come out, the creepier it gets: they even live-streamed the torture in a closed Instagram group as a way of saying “this is what happens if you steal our drugs.” Of...

The Blue dollar is dropping because of the elections. The peso went up, stocks in New York crashed up to 20%, and the country risk shot past 1,000 points. Financial and energy stocks took a nosedive, debt dropped, and the exchange rate went up. Basically, the market is having a mini panic attack...

I think, like Guillermo Francos said in an interview today, Libertad Avanza got a bit overconfident. They need to rethink their approach because even if the macroeconomy has improved a lot, people on the ground aren’t feeling it. The everyday folks who get up early to work and barely make it to...

Milei paints a dramatic picture of the opposition, claiming that Kirchnerism aims to destroy his economic plan, incite violent protests, or even try to kill him. Whether or not his fears are realistic, this shows how polarized Argentine politics have become ahead of the elections. Surviving the...

Totally agree. Choosing a country to live in can’t be based only on the economy. What’s the point of being somewhere where you might do well financially, but you can’t adapt or don’t enjoy the culture? If you ask people who actually settled in Argentina, most would say the main reason was the...

What a story! Honestly, I bet the owners had no idea that painting was worth anything beyond sentimental value. Probably thought: ‘nice old portrait to fill the wall,’ and meanwhile it’s on an international list of Nazi-looted art. Argentina never ceases to surprise!

According to Milei, the scandal in the disability sector is just a Kirchnerist operation… hmm, I don’t know how he explains the audios and chats that implicate Diego Spagnuolo, who’s considered both Milei’s lawyer and right-hand man. I just hope it gets investigated and everything comes to...

Yes, I always shop there, they have everything, and there are branches all over the place.

You need DNI to register there. I don’t know if the foreigners could use it.

Another episode of the Milei soap opera: bonds at 69% and people saying “pass.” Meanwhile, he keeps acting like the star of an economic reality show.
