I'm considering it, but it would only really work with a few of my clients. A lot of them are quite small and I don't invoice them for a lot, and I don't think they'd want the hassle of international transfers. And having said there's no change, I think it might be back to the old system now –...

Unfortunately, things just got a lot harder for freelancers, businesses or anyone who works for clients and receives money in pounds, dollars, etc. Up until Sunday, there was no obligation to 'liquidar' your foreign money in the local market. This was something this government actually brought...

TransferWise is great. It actually started doing transfers to Argentina a couple of weeks ago but they only announced it today. I've done four transfers so far (from my UK account to my Argentina account). They've all gone through absolutely fine. I signed up a while back, I think they asked...

I read about this the other day. One problem I can see is with the phones that you bring back from other countries legally (i.e. they cost less than USD $300 so there's no need to pay tax on them). Would we have to declare these on arrival in Ezeiza in order for them to work? I think it's...

I just withdrew some cash from an ATM (Santander Rio) and the fee has gone up from $105 to $175! Ouch. Is this the same for everyone?

Good news for anyone who needs to make international transfers. Apparently we'll be able to accept transfers by the end of the year and send money out of Argentina sometime in 2018...

Small World looks interesting with the transfer to local bank account. I've never used it before - does anyone know if you can send money from your own UK bank account to your own Argentina bank account? Or does it have to be from a different sender?

Thanks a lot, that's some really useful info. I'm thinking a Chromecast might be the way forward. Now to choose a TV …

I’m about to buy a new TV here in BA, and I’m going to go with a dumb version rather than a smart one, the aim being that I’ll get myself an Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV and use that to make it smart instead. But I have no idea about any of these boxes and whether they work here in Argentina. Can...

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! I'll head down to Barrio Chino and see if I can find it.

I used to buy Lipton Yellow Label Tea at my local Coto, and it was the only tea I could find that I really liked. For the last few months I haven't been able to find it anywhere, at least locally (Caballito). Does anyone know where it's sold, not just in Caballito but anywhere in the city? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, I was kind of hoping there would be one 'right' answer but totally understand that many things here are contradictory. I'll definitely check out Estudio Miriam Mintzer, thanks a lot for sending!

Hi, I'm new to the forum but not to Argentina. I've been working here self-employed for a few years but a problem's come up with my Monotributo and I'm looking for some advice. So, I work on a freelance basis for clients in the UK where I'm from, and they pay me into my account over there. I...
