Is there a maximum amount of times you can do this visa run? Or can you literally do it as many times as you like?
I haven't heard of anyone getting stopped for doing a visa run or even getting the stink eye from immigration officers. Your other option is to extend or something like 40% of expats just overstay and pay the fine (I don't recommend this). But if you do, here is what the government says to do if you overstay. www.argentina.gob.ar/interior/migraciones/habilitacion-de-salida
Nah man... I don't think you got it right about the punctuality. If people need to be in a place at a certain time, they be there. Parties are a different subject... Nobody is gonna show up at the begining of a party. No one. Just like with the night life, the later, the better it'll get. If you want to have a party at 10 you need to say it starts at 8 - 8:30.
Noted. Thanks!

Outside of Buenos Aires sometimes is two kisses and in that case men don't kiss, but it depends on the region. Some places do it the Spanish way, from left to right, and others, the Italian way, from right to left cheek.
Thanks for the info... So many ways to kiss 😂
Excellent information. I moved here two years ago and have been learning ... sometimes the hard way. When viewing a furnished apt. make sure what is listed as a double bed is not just two singles pushed together with a pad over the two beds (an AirBnB listing). Ask about if you must also pay the what I would call an HOA fee ... for the common area upkeep/front desk/maintenance personnel fee (a Realtor Listing). What I have found is that they will not lie to you, they just will not tell you the whole truth. Beyond that, Argentina is beautiful, the people are very friendly and as mentioned in another video .... do watch where you step! Between Perro waste and poorly maintained tiled sidewalks ... these small obstacles can be overlooked for the quality of life here.
Good tips on the bed and HOA fee!
Loco ¿Por qué en vez de criticar con desprecio agradecen que un extranjero se fijó en "diferencias culturales" y las aprecia? Además dijo al principio que eran nacidas de sus experiencias, no de los argentinos. No sean groseros.
nice, thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Hay algo que agregar respecto al mate, se toma en grupo, todo el grupo toma del mismo mate, no esta bien visto limpiar la bombilla porque el mate se toma de boca a boca y de corazon a corazon. No compartas el mate si estas enfermo.
👌🏽🙏🏽Thanks for the tips!
I did the ferry ride to Sacramento. It was great! QUESTION: Does the same visa run work for other countries bordering Argentina? (Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil) Thank you
Yes it does! We covered the Uruguay one, as it was the fastest/easiest from Buenos Aires, but it works at other borders as well. My girlfriend did a visa run at the Paraguay and Brazil border near Foz de Iguazu
"posho" es en porteñolandia, en cordoba es poio jaja
Haha... Good to know
Seran muy bienvenidos siempre. En mi caso,soy muy puntual con el horario,porque me parece una falta de respeto dejar a la gente esperando, por muy amigos que sean. Te mando un abrazo y deseo que tengan una feliz estadia.
Gracias. I send a hug back :)
BTW.... WhatsApp is a big deal in USA....
"big deal" is relative. Whatsapp penetration in Argentina is over 90% (closer to 95% in most stats I see). In the US, less than 30% of the population use it.
free advise to boost your chanel - 5:20 minutes of iintro before starting the topic, will kill you chanel - it shoudl not be longer than 10/15 secs (sad because your video is good - )
I appreciate the feedback. I'll try to get into the topic faster. Thanks again!
your sound is so bad, making it diffilcut to watch the video - a good video though
Yeah, we had a technical issue with our mics that went undetected for two videos. It's fixed now and our new videos should be much clearer. Thanks for the feedback!
.. If you are nice and good people come to Argentina .. Be nice !! You gona be ok .. work in spot ..like a team .. Learn spanish .. you can be ok ..or good if you smart .. on dif to be smart on USA . be nice ..
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic stuff thank you for sharing- any chance you can also add in the comparison for transacting with credit cards to this list.
You can actually see the latest rates comparing credit card vs. Blue dolar vs. Western Union on our website nomadicfire.com/argentina#rates
I think you've chosen the wrong country. Capital of Argentina, siesta? No bars? OMG!! Go back to your country and come with an open mind. You're very Central American.
La gente que no duerme siesta es porque no estudia o sale de noche
Can you share me the WhatsApp list for rentals, please?
Recoleta
Subtitles ???
I just double checked. The subtitles are there. Are they not showing up for you?
En Buenos Aires no se duerme siesta.. anda a las 15hs por Microcentro o cualquier barrio de la ciudad, esta todo en movimiento. La siesta quizas lo hacen en ciudades con menos de 1 millon habitantes. Buenos Aires o su aglomerado urbano llamado AMBA... Tiene 15 millones de habitantes, es muy difícil dormir siesta en esta enorme metrópoli.... Jajaja en cuanto a las veredas, si coincido.. son una porquería, el gobierno de la ciudad hace negocios con esas baldosas sueltas.
Yes... You are right. I should not have said naps. What I was trying to focus on was that there were several restaurants and stores in my neighborhood that would close down around 2:30 and not open again until later in the evening. That is unusual in the US.
@@nomadicfire Oh, that's okay, it's your experience. Thanks for sharing, the important thing is that you enjoyed it!
Too.. Buenos Aires is dividises in two sides, Province : sur, este, oeste y norte. and the city capital
Es mala idea preguntarle a los porteños sobre el resto del país ya que la mayoría no sabe nada de Argentina excepto Buenos Aires.
perdona, pero seguro te juntaste con ignorantes desde una porteña querés que te hable cuando visite Misiones (su catarata, sus mariposas sus puestos en la calle sus piedras preciosas ) , Formosa , Santiago del Estero (las empanadillas , las granadas , las tunas , el calor ) Cordoba o Bariloche ??
Good points! Of course, not everything is taken to a extreme. You can specify an hour when meeting and stress the timing it’s important, and people will mostly show up at that time (and of course that’s the default for business meetings). I’ve been drinking good coffee for decades now, but its true you will not always find them in supermarkets. As with other specialties, its better getting it from a coffee shop, which Buenos Aires is full of! Siesta is not common in big cities (specially BA), but it is on the small towns. Dog poop is a problem, but has improved a lot from the 90s. As a regular walker, I get around one accident with poop every one/two years: you start getting a sixth sense 😂. Big supermarkets exist, but you need a car as they are mostly in the suburbs.
Haha... 6th sense. It is like using the force to guide you :)
@@nomadicfire Vital is a wholesaler in Gallo Nº149, Abasto and Tronador 400 · CABA . Apart there some big supermarkets (a block) like Carrefour in Devoto or Liniers, other are Coto of Montecastro
@@missmclau Excellent recommendations! Thanks.
Me gustó el tono amable con el que explicas las cosas negativas en tu video, lo hace ver no tan negativo 😜 Creo que justo los amigos que encontraste fueron impuntuales, no siempre es así. If you travel to Mendoza or San Juan I would love to give you a tour here.
That is awesome. Thank you for offer!
Literally what everyone says when they come to Argentina for the first time is: I love jow you giys have cute coffee shops everywhere, so I'm shocked you didn't experience that. P.S I go to Europe every year for work and I feel like I can have any kind of coffee here in BA at a walking distance.
You are absolutely correct. One of things I love the most about Buenos Aires is the amazing coffee shops everywhere. My shock was how difficult it was to find coffee without sugar in to brew at home. Markets in my neighborhood would go weeks without having any inventory available.
You must practice the g sound: AR-GGGEN-TI-NA. Practice. Really. You are butchering the pronunciation
Thanks for tip. I'll keep practicing!
@@nomadicfire you got it, go for it! the content it's great.
😠😡 EL 1° MATE NO DEBE BEBERSE, SE ESCUPE EN EL BASURERO . AL PRINCIPIO DEBES TOMAR MATE CON AZUCAR. CUANDO ESTARAS ACOSTUMBRADO A BEBER MUCHOS MATES, PODRAS BEBERLOS SIN AZUCAR O CON CAFE, CON LIMON,,CON NARANJA U OTRAS HIERBAS. ES RICO TAMBIEN CON MIEL . EL MATE ES BUENOS PARA LA SALUD Y TIENE MUCHAS VITAMINAS.🧉🧉🧉🧉🧉🧉🧉🧉😍🥰💌✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾👏👏👏🧉🧉🧉💙🤍💙🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️💋💋💋

Pretty accurate my friend, i hope u guys have a good times here in Argentina
Gracias!
03:10 JUST in Bs as is 1 kiss, in the North 2.
Really? I didn't know. Good information!
What about apartments for sale
We didn't look into purchasing. We were not comfortable with the potential complications of getting money out of the country if we sold the flat later.
May have been a little confusing there, at least it is to me now. There was a time many years ago that the whole province waormally called by its name: Buenos Aires and the down time was call El Centro, but then it was called CABA, (Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires) and now it is like a separated state. Life is different that the rest of Buenos Aires state, and any other State in the country. Regarding coffe, I understand you didn't explain right, anywhere in Arg. i found lots of places with great coffees. Coffee and fresh squized orange juice was my thing. I brought more than a few bags of coffee bought in the stores, mostly colombian, or Brasilian. Like your readers said there are specailty stores. I like Bonaffide that have a few qualities and Havanna where also have great chocolates and dulce de leche. And you are right about the popo. There and here in south California I hate people no cleaning after their dogs. And the tiles! it is real. But I remember that the people were washing their sidewalks early in the morning, much earlier than 8 AM to avoid the people walking by or very late at night. Yes, in small towns, specially in hot summer days, some people take short naps and small mom and pop stores closed at lunch and open again around 4-5 PM. Last time, because of health treatment that I couldn't get in USA i stayed several month in a private home. They received so many people every day from friends, neighbors and handipeople to whom they were offered coffee or mate if they will visit for a while to chat, that was to relatives and friends. Things are super expensive there for the people working there but for foreigners of Europe or North America is super cheap. The veg., meat and food in general delicious. I really loved icecream. Wow. I didn't fin that in Italy for which the ice cream is famous. I think I will try to go back to Argentina to go to the south and then stay in or near CABA. Thank you for your video.
Oh wow. Yes, the ice cream... So delicious. Thanks for all the wonderful feedback and information. Cheers!
Well done review, man. Let me make a little correction about "siesta", this nap is more a rural or province habit that it is in Bs. As. city. Here in BA the life's rhythm is more stressful and accelerated, in the rest of the country (what we call "interior") is more mandatory than habit, all shops close from 1 pm to 5 pm, they got a more relaxed rhythm of living, this goes for time, services attention and transit too. I hope this helped you. Respects.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that people actually napped. It was more the fact that some restaurants close around 2:30 and don't open again until later that evening. That mid-day break is uncommon in the US.
@@nomadicfire I'm a very grown up man, let say vintage, and since I was a child restaurants have this open hours, staff got to be there about 10~11 am, doors open at 12, close around 3 pm, staff leave at 4p and at 7p the sequence repeats in similar intervals, in general the kitchen in the night shift close at 11p~12a max but the place remains open till 1~2a if you could handle the indirect msgs the staff send while they set the tables for next shift, put chairs over the table, sweep, mop, etc. But there are other places like restaurant/cafe or pizza/cafe that remain open almost 24 hs. Rpct
Haha... Vintage. I like that term :)
@@nomadicfire 🤣Sometimes I use "less younger than..." a syntactic horror but metaphorically eloquent. 🤭🤫
I have no idea why you had issues finding coffee, is literally every where, Buenos Aires is one of the cities with most coffee shops per capita, and you can find any kind of grain, is true that you have the one torrado with sugar but you also have the one toast and without, you just need to ask for it ;) you are gonna see the one torrado with sugar more just because it’s cheaper
All the amazing coffee shops is one of my favorite things about Buenos Aires. What surprised me was the difficulty in finding ground coffee without sugar in stores. The markets in my neighborhood would not have any inventory for weeks at a time.
Hello there. I work as a tour guide in Bue with foreign guests and they always ask about "siesta break". I think it' s some idea they get from de mexicans. For the europeans they think with do the same they do in Italy as we have been very much influenced by the italian culture. Siestas "si" in the interior of the country. Siestas "no" in Buenos Aires. Great video though👍👍🖐️🖐️
Yeah, I really didn't mean to imply a nap. That is my mistake. I was more focused on the fact some restaurants and shops would shut down around 2:30 and open up again later at night. Thanks for the clarification!
*P O S H O*
Gracias! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I'm working on my pronunciation. I really am.
Wow! you prepared that mate awfully wrong!! 🤢. I hope you come a cross a proper mate person and have a soft flavored infusion, as it must be
I'm definitely a long way from being the Cebador :) Still much to learn.
Bastante pobre tu investigación la verdad. La siesta es más de provincias del norte del país. Yo soy patagonica y no es una costumbre del Sur. Por otro lado. Argentina no es sólo Cdad de Bs As.🤌🏽🤌🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Everything's cool as long as you dont leave City of Buenos Aires
Es obvio que nos afanan pero te voy a dar un consejo , en algun bar del centro pedite 3 o 4 de empanadas de carne con un malbec y ahi me contas..........🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!!!!!
Jamon y Roque fort FTW!!!
I've never agreed so much with a foreigner's take on my city, like the good stuff, the bad stuff, i was nodding the whole video. The only thing that surprised me though was the fact that you said we are not coffee lovers because we literally have a coffee shop in almost every square haha
Ahhh... Thank you. I appreciate hearing that. I gave the wrong impression on the coffee. All the amazing coffee shops is one of the things I love about Buenos Aires. I was trying to say how it was sometimes difficult to buy ground coffee to brew at home from the supermarkets in my neighborhood. They had difficulty keeping coffee without sugar in stock. Thanks again and Cheers!
Sorry but siesta time isn't real in Buenos Aires.
Yeah, I shouldn't have said nap. What I am referring to is the fact some businesses close after 2:30 and don't open again until later in the evening. That is very uncommon in the US.
@@nomadicfire Maybe you have found some business that does that but particularly in Buenos Aires that isn't the case at all.
I live in Buenos Aires, never have I ever (maybe ones) stepped on dog poop. Not because there isnt, but because you develop a six sence and can know where they are without seeing them
Haha... Teach me sensei.
There are big supermarkets like the US in Argentina, in the suburbs mostly.
Yeah, makes sense. More land.
Informate mejor de lo que pasa en una ciudad, en este caso la ciudad de BA. Aquí existen muy pocos negocios que cierren a eso de la 13 hs.de la tarde para abrir a las 15 ó 14 hs y los que lo hacen no es para dormir la siesta. Nadie duerme la siesta en BA, tal vez algún jubilado que ya no trabaja.
You're right. I didn't mean to imply a nap. It was more the break that some businesses take around 2:30 and then open up again later in the evening.
Most people in Buenos Aires don't speak English, no inventes!
