It is not actually easy to get permanent residency or a long-term visa unless you have a job here, pension (retirement), etc. Most people like us are on tourist visas that are good for 90 days. I have heard that they can be extended for another 90 days as well. However, near the end of either period, you just take a day trip to Uruguay on the ferry and come back to get another 90 day extension. The fee for overstaying your visa is AR $50, but most people do not recommend that in case you ever want to apply for permanent residency it may be seen as a "black mark." Definitely let us know when you are here. We'd be happy to meet up. Hopefully we'll be a lot more familiar with our surroundings by then.

Love your blog and have a question: what must a person do, or produce or prove in order to be elegible for residence in Argentina? While not among the rich and famous, we are financially quite independant. I am Canadian and my wife is Malaysian. I spent a month in B.Aires about 15 years ago and loved it. My wife and I spent another month about 1 1/2 years ago and were captivated. By the way, I am completely fluent in Spanish. We will be in B.Aires for a month from next January 8 and perhaps we may meet for coffee and chat. Meanwhile, any advice, suggestions or tips would be most gratefully appreciated.

Be sure to let us know if you need any help. I'm hoping that by then we'll know our way around a bit more. I'm planning to update this post a bit more with some real advice too, not just our story.

The floor on #9 looks like carpeting! I can't wait to see pictures of your new apt! And I'm glad it's all worked out nicely. Love your notes on the pics. The floor on #9 looks like carpeting!
