    Best way to go from Pesos in Arg to Dollas in US

    I'm in a similar boat as OP. Has anyone here successfully sent thousands of USD (in pesos) from an Arg bank account to a US account using Western Union/ MoneyGram? That's how I got the money here in the first place but I've never tried sending it back. That said I'm looking to sell a 2012...

    When flying to Buenos Aires from Jujuy in July of 2021 after having spent over a year on a tourist visa (which kept being automatically extended by migraciones during the pandemic) but was now expired, a security guard at the Jujuy airport checked my passport and started questioning me on how I...

    Which AR cafetera espresso is the best?

    Did you end up buying anything/ learn anything along the way? I'm trying to decide whether to try one of the national brands or buy a Breville/Delonghi/Gaggia back in the US and lug it back. The updated La Valente Olivia models look very cool but I can't find any reviews from coffee nerds.

    Buying a guitar in BA

    American owned airlines essentially have to let you bring guitars and other instruments as carry ons - you may have to insist a little at the gate and they may try to have you check it through, but I've brought an acoustic and a jazzmaster as carry on on American Airlines flights from the US to...

    Bitcoin / Crypto to USD to buy property

    Thanks for the responses. Yes the Bitcoin wallet would be mine. But the issue of taxes etc is certainly a concern.

    Bitcoin / Crypto to USD to buy property

    My understanding is that Martillero Publicos function like real estate agents in that they're selling/ 'auctioning' the property to the person who will pay the most for it. From what I understand, the Martillero has a service/person that will give me USD in cash in exchange from bitcoin on...

    Bitcoin / Crypto to USD to buy property

    Has anyone extracted USD with bitcoin in Argentina to be able to buy property? The seller's martillero publico I'm working with seems to have a way to extract in Argentina and seems like the best way by far to bring in USD. Thanks in advance for any tips!

    eze aduanas

    Similar question here- I'll be entering on a tourist visa later this month with a guitar worth 1200 usd and a flute and won't have cash to pay taxes with WU/blue rate if needed.

    Keeping US cell phone number for text & talk when moving there

    I recommend Google Fi (not Google voice) - I just have my US number on Google Fi (Unlimited calls and texts to the US) and have cell service all over Argentina / in virtually all counties. I use WhatsApp in Argentina for local communication with friends and businesses etc. If I need to make a...

    Western Union money transfer

    I can't guarantee anything, but I believe if you cancel before they debit it, then they won't charge you. I cancelled a debit card transfer last week shortly after I had sent it and never was charged, but had the same question as you.
