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


Heading to Uruguay for a Passport Stamp (or visit?) by AmeliaMcPhoto
I recently zipped over to Uruguay to obtain the necessary 90 day stamp on my passport. The travel was easy (ferry to Colonia then bus to Montevideo), the seafood was awesome, people were warm and welcoming. What is there not to love? I posted some ...

I have always enjoyed trekking over to Colonia. The prices are a bit higher over there than here in Buenos Aires, but the boat ride is pleasant and it is nice to get out from the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit and enjoy some clean air and ... Read More

I have never known anyone who could make a living solely on teaching English. The universities are free here for undergraduate, so any of the locals can enroll at a university for free to study English. There is a marginal market for working one ... Read More

Hey! I have an internship in Buenos Aires from May to the end of July and am looking for apartments from the US. Anyone have advice on websites etc? My boyfriend and I need a bed we can both sleep in - but that is really our only requirement. ...

I have used the services of Baires Apartments in the past....... some of their prices are great, and some are not so great. This one you listed Peter is about double what the market can sustain in price so I would definitely look around on their ... Read More

Hey I am a Canadian now living in Argentina. Not sure how long yet. I have been a teacher for 12 years, but am taking a break. Working on some websites for now, but I would take a job in an international school if it were to come up. Most teaching ...

Casa Bar in Recoleta has much better hot wings and is more unique than going to some franchise you could visit at home. 1150 Rodriguez Pena, Recoleta(Between Santa Fe and Arenales). There are a few Thai restaurants that offer great spicy food, ... Read More

Hello. I've not long ago returned from Buenos Aires and i miss being there everyday! My trip was only very very short (1month) but at the time that was the extent i could afford to stay there. i am however looking to return for a much longer time. ...

I have lived here for 4 1/2 years and have yet to meet anyone who could earn a living teaching English. There is not much work and the wages suck. A work visa is required to get any kind of a job paying decent wages, but even then, minimum wage ... Read More


Telecommunications in Buenos Aires by Yud
Hello dear Members, Can you please list some of the main Internet Service providers in Buenos Aires? You may also include the cost related to their Internet subscription. Another issue related to the telecommunication topic, is mobile plans. Can ...

Lisa Ann, they are all pretty much the same with the exception that cellulars from Claro are a bit cheaper. However, unless you have a DNI you cannot purchase a plan or get a phone at a reasonable rate from a cell phone company. Your best bet if ... Read More


Lincoln school Buenos Aires by skialta
We are considering a move to BA from NJ. We have 2 children ages 8 and 9 and, the Lincoln school has been recommended to us. The corporate housing is in Puerto Madero. Is this insane to drive back and forth? we welcome any and all suggestions.

You might be able to get an owner to deviate from the law, but be aware that in Argentina rentals are required to be for 2 years and 2 years only. The only lawful deviation is for short term rentals to tourists, which are not really supposed to ... Read More

Job seeking by cevallo
I'm looking for a job, every job in Argentina, a farmer could be a nice stuff. Also wine production worker, hard work insn't a problem. Augusto.

It would be very difficult to find a job as a software developer here and the wages would be a fraction of those in the northern hemisphere. It is an incredibly competitive field down here with low pay and developers basically going for a dime a ... Read More

LisaAnn, there are a variety of ways to meet people here. There are conversations groups, there are °µÍø½ûÇøriate organizations hosting events.... if you have some particular interests it might help to narrow down your options. Read More
