Are you talking about having it done in Argentina, or about doing it in the US? If you are doing it in the US it's a little like having a passport done. You can do it the slow but cheap way directly through government channels, or hire a third party processor. I used "FBI Apostille" or something...

The malvinas are also claimed with soda cans.

Take a bus out to Valparaiso, spend a night.

There are spectacular swimming holes in Mina Clavero. Just walk upstream from town. La Cumbrecita is also neat.

There are lots of small rental companies near the city center and I've found them to be cheaper and just as good as the ones at the airport

Have you considered Rwanda instead?

Fiwind gave me an obscenely high limit, though YMMV

I once wondered about this and looked into it, thinking maybe it could be a good business opportunity. Correct, there are no self service options. It has to do with the high cost of imported equipment, low cost of labor, and the fact that people will steal clothes doesn't help.

I lived for two years roaming between hostels, hotels, and mining camps and not once had an issue.

Keep in mind you must do it as a one-way. They cancel your return flight if you have one. There is tons of stuff on the Internet that's way better than what you will find on this forum.

I just got the same message from Santander. Anyone know how to register with AFIP? Can it even be done? And if so is that a bad idea?

I've always brought them through security no problem, and then for secondary screening it seems to be NO liquids, not even small amounts. I always put my toothpaste in my pocket. Problem solved.

I feel like I've been told before that if you deposit cash, you get hit by a tax because they assume you are working under the table. Could be wrong, but I'd double check before depositing your life's savings.

They are about as polar opposite as you can possibly get. Boise is high-functioning even by American standards.

I see none this month. Some great deals in late February (25k one way). American gives away seats dirt cheap (in miles) if they think they won't fill the plane. Not an issue during summer holidays.
