Take the Ferry to Uruguay. Automatic renewal as you leave. Have some time there to enjoy or just come straight back.

I did it in 2015. I forget how much the fine was, but really not worth worrying about. That said, the hastle at the airport meant that I was within 2 minutes of missing my flight. (they would not let me check into my flight until I had the pass from migraciones). Then every time I returned I got...

I have been coming here since 2004, never have I been asked about my return trip. I am always asked where I am staying, but not my return. I have come three times without a return trip booked and once overstayed my visa. After the overstay I was always asked when i would leave, until I had a new...

Hi, I don't do this now, but asking for a friend, where is the best place to change money in BsAs?

The main problem you will have is the voltage here is 240. It is great for UK travelers, but will present some problems for US devices.

Sorry but I am not in BsAs at the moment. I will try to send you a picture in January, (if I remember). and I will try to find the name of the guy.

There is a guy at Parque Centenerio, hand made guitars. I am no expert but I bought one a few years ago three quarter size so I can lock it away. It stays in tune the 9 months I am away and has a nice action. I paid $800 in 2014 but don't expect to pay that now.🤣

I don't know if he still works in BsAs but Pericles on this site led me through the mire of the local market to buy a place here. Pericles J. Economides

WU was not on my radar, being a Brit. I have had a couple of people tell me to use them. I have logged on and am exploring this, seems my best option. Thanks for the help.

I think it unlikely that my local Chilean veg shop will accept digital currency. As of last year they did not even accept card transactions.

As Azimo no longer do this, I was wondering how others get their money in Argentina. I have various means to look at but I do not know if I can order by my Bankers card (preferably not credit card) and pick up cash from a local office in BsAs. I am due out at the end of the year and need a way...

I have been in contact with Remitly. I also used to pick my money up from Argenper, The contact at Remitly just said it would work the same. He did not seem to have a lot of idea. I will not be in BsAs until the end of the year, if anyone can help with this before then, I would be most grateful.

It was Richard Nixon, he said "There are First world countries, The Western Democracies, Second world, Eastern Block, the rest are third world" So yes that makes Argentina Third World, but not necessarily a bad think.

You forgot Tango. I would argue the health care as well. Better than many in the world, but does not compare with The UK NHS. I often find myself defending the health care here when I am at home, but having watched two people die while the ambulance is stuck in traffic and one while two...
