First week in Buenos Aires

Money, connectivity, transport, and a roof over your head — in seven days and without losing on the exchange rate

Buenos Aires greets you with three things people lose money on in their very first week: currency exchange, renting without local history, and a neighbourhood chosen on the map. We’re spending this week together with you.

Who it suits. For those arriving for the first time who want to get through their first days without losses and without googling everything.

What is included

We meet you and get you settled: accommodation for the first month is arranged before you land
We show you where to exchange money and how to avoid losing out on the rate
Local SIM card and SUBE transit card
Neighborhood matching for your needs: school nearby, clinic nearby, safety in the evenings
A list of pharmacies, clinics, and services to turn to while you don’t yet have insurance
A first orientation on prices: what is expensive here and what is cheap — since 2025 it is not the same as what the blogs say

What the package does not include

Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.

Status documents: CUIL, CDI, and filing for residency — that is the next package
Rent and deposit: paid directly to the landlord; $1,000–1,500/month for a two-bedroom in good neighborhoods
Health insurance
Long-term lease agreement: signed once you have a CUIL and a proof-of-address certificate

The two years start not from the day you land, but from the date of residency

In May 2025, decree 366/2025 transferred citizenship cases from the courts and handed them Migraciones, and at the same time tightened the residency clock: two years of legal residence in a row. A precaria, under which a person lives while their application is being reviewed eir case — that period is not counted. The tourist 90 days are not counted either. Departures break continuity. We have tracked this counter from day one and we gather evidence in advance: rental agreement, utility bills, bank records, entry stamps o entries and exits — because the decision rests with the authorities reviewing the paperwork, not word by word. Parts of the decree are being challenged in courts, and we work in a way that your stay was provable regardless of the outcome.

A week of support250 $

Arrival, housing, money, connectivity, transport, neighbourhood, and first city orientation — someone by your side for seven days.

Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Migraciones and RENAPER government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: they are modest, denominated in pesos and converted at the day’s exchange rate — we list them as a total and provide receipts. SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited in the cost of support. The short initial call is free.
