What jobs can I do in Buenos Aires?? by mariita
Apparently teaching English is underpaid and not a viable option? I am a journalist, although jobs are hard to come by, especially because my Spanish is only middling, not fluent at all. Apart from that I have office skills and customer service ...
It is not realistic to expect to make a living teaching English, or any other language here. Jobs are damn near impossible here for locals and much more difficult for foreigners. Your best bet is to find work that you can do via the internet. I ... Read More

DNI by boludo1944
Can anyone suggest the least stressful way of obtaining a DNI. Ive been living in Buenos Aires for almost 3 years on a tourist visa. Ive gotten to know Colonia, Uruguay quite well! Thanks in advance. Randy
The best method seems to be to hire an immigration attorney as it is a very complicated as well as inefficient system here. Read More

For all practical purposes, it is impossible to open a bank account in Argentina without a permanent visa or residency. Yes, from a strict legal standpoint you should be able to open one easily enough without either, but the banks simply refuse ... Read More

Lincoln school Buenos Aires by skialta
