1. got a question about fees. I am planning on starting my residency this July/August time frame. I can do a mercosur residency because my wife is a peruvian citizen. I was quoted $2400 for the two of us, and wondering if it makes more sense to do just the rentista for me cost wise. I was also told citizenship would run $4000 each to be represented. IF this is a fair price, I will deal with it, but if someone has a good referral for a fair attorney that would be great.

2. I plan on staying there for at least 3-4 months my first visit, to travel and find where we want to live. I will want to purchase a home/apartment so referrals of Realtors or their equivalent would be great! Current plans to visit are Mar Del Plata, Bariloch, Palermo, La Plata, Rosario and Cordoba so any feedback on these would be amazing. (I see homes online, but I assume locally I will find better bargains?)

3. how easy is it to bus to different cities/states? Do Realtors typically drive you around to see places like in the US?

3. how common is Crypto used in the country?

4. I plan on being out of the country for a few months out of the year. Any thoughts on using home for air bnb during that time frame, and are there companies that manage them there?

5. How easy is it to do banking there?

*I saw the one question per post, but did not look like there was a lot of action on the forum and thought it would be ok.聽 If not let me know and I will break it down to 5 posts*

Hello! if you book only stay, where are you going to come? If it is the city of Rosario I can give you information about hostels, which is cheaper

Yes! of course, hotel holliday in, hotel riviera, and if not there are many temporary apartments, which you pay monthly and even have very nice and new bedding, let me know anything and I'll look for numbers

Hello!

As for where to stay, yes, it is always better to look for information in forums or facebook groups, from people who are already here.

Otherwise, you will end up in a real estate agency and the prices are usually not the best.

There are a lot of buses to travel around the provinces. Although depending on the bus chain, the service can be good or not. What you have to take into account are the long hours of distance.

Cryptos are used, but it seems to me that they are just starting to be used.

As an extra tip, and besides looking for a place to stay, if you want to enjoy an adventure, I recommend Argentina Polo Day outside Buenos Aires! To get to know the real polo and a magical experience!

Current plans to visit are Mar Del Plata, Bariloch, Palermo, La Plata, Rosario and Cordoba so any feedback on these would be amazing.

3. how easy is it to bus to different cities/states? Do Realtors typically drive you around to see places like in the US?聽 ANSWER: Very easy and cheap as chips

3. how common is Crypto used in the country? ANSWER: Crypto is sold is Argentina for double its value in pesos. Bring USD cash it is also double the value

4. I plan on being out of the country for a few months out of the year. Any thoughts on using home for air bnb during that time frame, and are there companies that manage them there?聽 ANSWER: Air Bnb seems to work well but you would聽 need a local caretaker however labor is cheap

5. How easy is it to do banking there? ANSWER: Banking is impossible for foreigners but there are better ways聽 of dealing with funds.

If you need any more help let me know, a聽 fellow oldie
