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
2nd hand guitars by Guest123078
Hi all, I'm looking for a basic second hand guitar (steel string or clasical) to play whilst I'm in BsAs. The shops on Sarmiento are a little pricey for me, so if anyone has a spare guitar lying around I'm interested! My budget is 600 pesos. Let ...
Craigslist is a good place to look as well and mercadolibre, which is partially owned by eBay and very much like that site. 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
Opening a bank account in Argentina by Julien
Hi all, is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Argentina ? Which documents are required to open a bank account in Argentina ? How long does it take to open it ? Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services ...
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

Jobs are very difficult to find here and tend not to pay very well if one is accustomed to competitive USA or European wages. Argentina celebrated its 200th anniversary last year, 2010. So you are a bit late for that, but there are often events on ... 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

I have never heard of such a thing and could not find any information online confirming that requirement. You might talk to someone at their embassy here in Buenos Aires. Taiwanese Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina Taipei Economic and Cultural ... 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
Jobs in Buenos Aires other than teaching english? by xohmyx
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
