> Do you pay the overstay visa at the airport? Approximately how much is it? I forget how much it is, I believe less than USD 20. But if I recall correctly you need to pay it in cash. You can do it at the airport (they'll direct you to some other booth/office for that, from which you return...

> Lately Western Union transfers are taking 5 working days (or 7 or 8 days). I don't know why. I've been doing WU every couple of weeks for the past 4 months and the transfer never took more than 10 minutes. I could walk over to a branch and it would be ready by the time I arrived. I made the...

> You can’t live just anywhere you like in BsAs with kids I'd be interested in seeing this elaborated. I'm in a building at Scalabrini Ortiz in the middle of Palermo and the building is full of kids; babies and toddlers mostly.

From what I understand this kid who did the $LIBRA launch did the $TRUMP and $MELANIA coins too. Sounds like they offered it to Milei and he said, sure, porque no.

For those who don’t know, this is known as a rug pull, the crypto equivalent of a pump’n’dump scam. A deliberate scheme to steal a bunch of money from greedy but uninformed speculators. They build up the value by ways of some announcement, then at its peak, sell it all, pulling the rug from...

To get cash, use Western Union or trade your cash (pristine 50 or 100 dollar bills) at an exchange office (‘cueva’) such as Cambio Baires. Or just use your credit card

Punch Curry Bar has some curries without coconut milk that are actually spicy. Palermo prices ($26K). They're on PedidosYa, which I would recommend 10x over Rappi which I find unusable.

> Thai restaurants are plentiful in BA. Where? Google Maps only gives me "Asian" or Vietnamese restaurants searching for Thai food. Would kill for some (real) Thai food.

All these items were purchased new in November of last year. Can offer receipts for each item. - The table was $212K - The white chair was $31K - The TV (A 2020 43" Samsung T5300) was $500K - The adjustable stool was $100K Please DM with a bid if interested in either of the items...

My time in BA is up for this year and I'm left with some furniture and electronics that I won't be bringing back home. I tried to list a TV on Mercado Libre, but they don't allow in-person pick up and they require national ID. Are there alternatives to Mercado Libre for selling stuff that are...

Propose a Domestic Politics category be added to the forum for this stuff

Would consider this except car rentals with different pick-up and drop-off points are insanely expensive these days

To answer my own question, Neko comes close.

I've heard mixed stories about the Retiro office, but at least at that point you're in less of a hurry than when you're trying to leave at the airport

You buy a laptop, it comes with a charger. Apple kept Lightning ports on iPhone as long as possible just so you could retain your charger between phones. Then the EU came in and started demanding USB-C on all devices. > Opinions, please I'd think hard before switching mobile operating systems...
