    Milei wants to launder Argentina's dirty money back into the system

    Maybe it'll flush out the Kirchner millions? :rolleyes:

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

    I shall remain positive. I trust Millei knows what he's doing. Considering the mess the corrupt K's left I'd say he's doing alright. 👍

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

    I'm a foreigner and if anything my standard of living has improved since coming to live here permanently 16 years ago. Now that the K regime has been sussed out things can only get better. Onwards and upwards I say. 👍

    Banking Bank Account With Just a Passport and CDI Number (No DNI)

    The only reason I can think of is an Argentine company having an agreement with the bank so a foreign employee temporarily based here can collect their salary.

    Banking Bank Account With Just a Passport and CDI Number (No DNI)

    Must admit to being amazed when reading posts from those who were able to open bank accounts without a DNI. Especially as there's not a lot else you can do here without showing a DNI.

    Don't count Cristina Kirchner out for a comeback

    You must hang about with the wrong type of folk then.

    Politics Is the Pope a Peronist? 🫨

    She's never liked him due to his political leanings. Must admit most of what she says about religion and politics goes in one ear and straight out the other with me. I don't give either topic much thought....got nicer things to occupy my mind with. 😁

    Argentina Is Still in Crisis: Why Lower Inflation—and Milei—Might Not Last

    It's hardly surprising given how long he's been in the job. Considering the disaster the last bunch of chancers left it'll take years not months for things to get better.

    Argentina recession leaves once-bustling Buenos Aires restaurants hustling for customers

    The number of new outlets far outweighs the closures. To be honest most of those that closed sold an inferior product so their time was up anyway. It's a similar situation with the property market here. Older properties are getting knocked down and being replaced by plush new ones. It's boom...

    Argentina recession leaves once-bustling Buenos Aires restaurants hustling for customers

    Same out here in the sticks. Despite all the financial doom and gloom I keep hearing about. New cafes, bars, restaurants and all sorts of shops just keep on opening up. There must have a hell of a lot of spare cash knocking about.

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    Well I know sod all about it so you can take what I say with a pinch of salt. Although I have a dollar income I'm not getting that fussed about the falling Blue rate. My wife has a tidy peso income so we won't go without. If it means your average Argentine will eventually end up being in a...

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    My missus who is Argentine born also has British and Spanish passports. I got the feeling the reason she gave me for not bothering with getting Argentine residency was purely a financial one....there's nothing to be gained. Quite the opposite I believe.
