The move to Argentina by Raclette

I'd love to hear details from those who have moved their personal items from the United States to Argentina. It sounds like we should have our Visa's to make the process smoother, but can you give me an idea of what the moving costs are? I've seen ...

Laura

NorteAmericano moving to Buenos Aires...firsthand advice on container by tallyman1886

Hi, I'm a newbie from Seattle, Wa. Wife and I are hoping to move to Buenos Aires, Ar in the very near future, and will be visiting in Jan/Feb 2007. She is Argentinian and we're hoping to make contacts in the °µÍø½ûÇø community and find out about past ...

Laura

Tallyman, first you have to realize that all cars hold value in Argentina but the cars that are made in Argentina are the cheapest. 237 for a Honda CRV is about right. Even a used CRV old style can run you around 50,000 pesos. We know someone who ... Read More

Raclette - you have to have your visas in order - you can't bring a container in on a tourist visa. The warranty you've heard about is basically a guarantee you won't sell your things there, and needs to be renewed annually. You need to find a ... Read More

Aerolineas Argentina does have two pricing systems, one for residents who can show a DNI and the other for foreigners/tourists. There are many places that have a two tiered system particularly if it's something that a tourist might use. For instance ... Read More

Terry, I live in Buenos Aires and just completed an ebook about moving here. It's not easy to ship things to Argentina unless you have the proper visas and most people don't realize that. However that said, because your wife is Argentine you will ... Read More

Poll: How long have you been living there? by dmscvan

I am really impressed with this forum (great job to the administrators), and I'm curious how long people have been an °µÍø½ûÇø in the country they're currently living in. Also, any thoughts on how things change the longer you're there. For example, ...

Julien, I agree, smells of advertising a business. It's not true that all Argentines are bad to deal with. Some may try to take advantage of you (but what's new with that though because no matter where you go in the world - °µÍø½ûÇøs and tourists most ... Read More

Friends & family back home

Sometimes I feel like I must be crazy to move to Buenos Aires :rolleyes:, especially if I were to listen to people that I know. I've been met with the same responses from almost (but not all) everyone I know. I hear things like, "oh that's ... Read More
