    Accessing own cash in BsAs, amex or xoom or bring Cash

    I was stopping in Mexico City on the way back to BA, and went to a Coin/Currency dealer that I had done business with before in order to get some Mexican pesos, and knowing that in the past they dealt with Argentine Pesos I asked the rate, and when they quoted 6.50 I choose to also buy Argentine...

    Accessing own cash in BsAs, amex or xoom or bring Cash

    It was in Southern California, but if you call around to a few Coin/Currency dealers you may find someone selling Pesos in your area, by the way my contact was also buying Pesos though I didn't get the rate. I don't know of anyone that is expecting the Peso to strengthen in the coming months...

    Accessing own cash in BsAs, amex or xoom or bring Cash

    I use option 2, with option 3 as a backup if I run out of cash, also last week I used option 4, which was to buy pesos in the US, I was able to get a rate of 6.50 from a coin/currency dealer in California, though I wouldnt advise holding more Pesos than you need for the next month or so.

    The ESTA fee is a whole different thing $4 of it goes to CBP to cover costs and $10 goes towards promoting tourism:( The interview is just one part, there are things that the applicant doesnt see including pre interview background research that can take place, and one would suspect that someone...

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    I wouldnt think so either, but Argentina does also charge a "Imigration Tax" of us$10 that is in your airfare ticket taxes, which may cover that 1 minute it takes the imigration officer to stamp my passport.

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    I feel her pain, but the payment is to offset the cost for processing the visa application, which is incured whether the visa is approved or not, one could even argue that a denial would generally involve more man hours, and should have a higher cost. I also have to pay any visa fees when...

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    I am sorry you dont see the logic, the US congress passed a law many years ago that regulates the eligibility for countries to participate in the visa waiver program, which intially requires them to have a visa rejection rate under 3% to be eligible for the program. Argentina used to be a...

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    If you consider $160 for a 10 year visa for the US as exorbitant, then how the hell are you going to affford a plane ticket and hotels? China charges me the same, and only will grant me a six month or 1 year visa, and I pay it every year without complaint. I dont think foreigners have a right...

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    The fees the US charges are not exorbitant, they are in order to recoup the cost of procesing visas, there is zero profit in this for the US. Unlike Argentinas fee which is a completley retaliatory cash generator for the goverment. I dont know if you rember but Argentina used to be in the visa...

    Pesos to Dollars/Euros

    It is not the Blue market rate as that is something that exists inside Argentina, this is the free market rate for the Argentine Peso. The ony country you will be able to buy Dollars with your pesos at the "official" 4.6x rate is Argentina, and then only with AFIP approval.

    Cost of dental braces in Argentina?

    Well then be honest in your statements, before you said you couldn't use Xoom, and that there was no way for you to open a US bank account, neither of which is true, you have made a conscious decesion not to do either, both of which are availble to you. As to tax implications of oppening a US...

    Flight to Miami January 2013

    Will be intresting this year to see how the Dollar controls affect travel this high season, while you can still pay for air tickets with Pesos, and use CC's abroad for now at least, my instinct is that more Argentines are going to opt for all inclusive packages that they can pay for in Pesos...

    Cost of dental braces in Argentina?

    There is no need to access your bank account online to use Xoom, everything is done on the Xoom site using either your account and routing number, or a Debit or Credit card. The reality is you could get a US bank account if you wanted, and use Xoom, but maybe you are not willing to put up with...

    Sending money out of argentina

    You have to send it in Dollars(or such) as Argentine Pesos have a diminished value ex Argetina. Your best bet for small amounts would be to find someone you know that needs to get money into Argentina, and give them pesos here and have them give you Dollars via Pay-pal or such in the US. Now...

    Selling hard alcohol

    Sadly I don't think it will meet my needs I was looking for a 1.25L that formerly held the electric blue flavor with a mint state label. But this Fairy liquid you speak of may be of interest to me, is it safe(i.e. animal tested) for use on humans?
