Hi, I'm coming to Buenos Aires with a Working Holiday Visa, and since my goal isn't to move there definitely but to learn to know the city, the country and the culture, all I need is a small job, as a waitress or something. Is it easy to find ? ...
You need to speak Spanish to get a waitress job, 95% of jobs in fact IMO. All you will be looking at getting is cleaning or teaching English. Sorry if this sounds harsh. Start Spanish lessons intentive for a few months before you come ....... ... Read More

visas by SeattleMOM
I'm a US citizen and I'd like to be in Argentina for 6 months. Anyone know how easy it would be to get a visa? I would not be working over there.
I agree with the vast majority that you have to say. The dollar advice is spot on. If anything break your budget, bring the $9999 allowed and sell a chunk for a good profit to pay for your trip. IF you want to visit Uruguay which you are a fool not ... Read More
