I’d be interested to see statistics on “under the mattress” dollars for Milei’s tenure. Is there any benefit these days in holding dollars?

I couldn’t disagree with this more. In my experience, food quality in Europe far supersedes the US

Rarebit could easily be autocorrected to rabbit. I’ll add an addendum to my original post of the only traditional British food I indulge in to be a Sunday roast. Of course a full English is without question but let’s add rarebit and cawl to the mix. Also, without question there’s plenty of crap...

It seems to me that we currently have both 10% monthly inflation and a static USD exchange rate and I don’t see that being sustainable beyond the order of months. I’m sure tourism has plummeted from those without personal ties to Argentina and Argentinian exports must rapidly be getting less and...

Admittedly there’s plenty of bland British food but at least in the UK there are a plethora of alternative cuisines and perhaps that’s what I think BA lacks both in wideness of availability and quality. In any case I don’t tend to eat any traditional British food beyond a Sunday roast. I’d be...

I’d gladly be challenged on my opinion but I think the strength of the peso isn’t ground in reality and that its strength is akin to a sugar rush that’ll have a worrisome crash. Spending in foreign currencies are surely dwindling or stagnant and when Argentina is more expensive than any other...

Precisely! It baffles me to not be able to accentuate the base of good chips. Potatoes are cheap, how can you muck them up? I’ve still yet to try poutine but it seems a lovely idea and most varieties of loaded or dirty fries are fantastic provided it’s without the aberration of liquid...

Certainly happier days! I yearn for some good chips. I’ll never understand the propensity for the seemingly ubiquitous topping of liquid “cheese” that permeates across seemingly any establishment in CABA. It does make me wonder whether such sub-par chips in Argentina are recognised or merely...

I still don’t think I’ve had any good chips (fries) in Argentina besides a Belgian chips place that was in Mercado San Telmo. I was gutted when I went there a few months ago and it was replaced by a dulce de leche shop

To follow up: it did indeed take 3 weeks. Replacement was shipped from China. Interestingly, I didn’t have to pay any excess for the replacement under AppleCare whilst I’d have had to pay £79 in the UK. Arguably offset by the wait but hopefully useful information.

Does anybody know why there are almost no hotels or airbnbs available this weekend and any that are seem to be exorbitantly expensive? Seems very strange to me. I neglected to extend my accommodation and will have to spend the weekend in La plata as it seems this is the only place with any kind...

Although aren’t prices arguably cheaper than BA? Posadas for example everything seemed half the price if not less than BA. Without ties to CABA I’d be more inclined by other cities in Argentina

In case this helps anybody, I went to OneClick in Palermo Soho and they’ve sent it off for a replacement covered by AppleCare+ and it will apparently take up to 3 weeks

Sorry to hijack on an old thread but is it known if phones can be repaired under AppleCare Plus (UK bought) within Argentina?

Does anybody notice quite a regional disparity? I was stunned at how cheap Posadas was compared to Buenos Aires. Anecdotally, I earn in GBP and the exchange rate and inflation has meant a huge rise in costs for me in the last year. Many things are European prices if not higher. I’ve started to...

Anecdotally I’ve noticed a lot of places jump their prices around 10% this week concurrently after having been flat for a while. Seems odd to me how coordinated it seems to be

Thank you very much for the reassurance. I’ve pushed my flight back a few months. Hopefully the length of overstay doesn’t matter too much! I’ve pushed back to October so far but am likely to push my return flight back again until February or March

Thanks for the advice! It seems like overstaying is my best option. Will I have any problems getting domestic flights whilst past my tourist visa expiry? Hoping I don’t need to cram some last minute visits to other cities before I lose the ability to

Thank you for the information! Is it preferable to overstay rather than day trip to Uruguay? I’d be nervous about potentially being refused entry for a blatant visa run. Besides western union are there any other adverse implications to overstaying the tourist visa? I’m not sure if it changes...

Hi, I’m hoping to ascertain some advice as to my current options regarding overstaying my tourist visa in Argentina. Apologies given this is a fairly common question but I wanted to seek some answers more unique to my situation I’m from the UK and spent 3 months in Argentina at the beginning...
