Does that page say that you can also just incur a debt that you'd have to repay online (by credit card) before re-entering the country? My friend would prefer to pay with card, whichever way, because she finds it cumbersome to deal in cash.

There used to be a great restaurant in Palermo Hollywood called Standard. It's too bad it closed. Does anyone know if the owners opened somewhere else? It was the best of Argentine traditional cuisine, updated with solid modern touches (as opposed to superfluous ones). Would love to eat...

I would be very surprised if they made you go to passport before issuing ticket. This is routine. You just pay the fine and leave. Question for a friend: how much is the fine these days? And can you pay with american express?

Do I need a prescription from a doctor to get blood-panels done, or can a lab just do the tests I ask them for? I'd pay out of pocket, no insurance here. I need a general blood panel and a few more esoteric tests. What is a lab that will do reliable and high-quality tests? I was thinking of...

Please name some of the good restaurants (aside from a few good parrillas)

When you check in to a hotel they usually check your passport. Do they check the visa and if it's still valid, or just the passport? Does it matter? It wouldn't be a horribly expired visa, just over 90 days

"the prices are $15-25 for main course" yes that's exactly what it is in Buenos Aires now, but you have to add WATER, cubierto, etc., so it ends up being higher disagree about "choripan" too in NYC you can get great street food for like $7 and it's at least $10 in Buenos Aires now. I ate...

I disagree that dinner in NYC is more expensive than in Buenos Aires. That's not true anymore, unless you compare strictly going out to something like a high end steakhouse, then yes, it is cheaper here. But aside from that, an average dish here now is over $10 and usually close to $20 also when...

Please explain, I'm curious how this works. Look how is it possible that a meal out in Buenos Aires now is more expensive (and of worse quality) than what you get in Paris, Tokyo, or NYC? And like 3x as much as a few years ago (in dollars). They're monkeying around with the exchange rate somehow.

It used to be about $200 for a one-way, more for a roundtrip. It's still more for roundtrip. At the moment you can still fly for less than $200 to Chile from here, I think also Asuncion. It didn't use to be so expensive. Sometimes travel agencies used to have special round trip deals though. I...

I'm just basing it on things I used to pay for before...I'm paying 2x-3x as much now...

Dinner also unacceptable, I mean I'm paying $30-$40 for the same dinner (less actually) that I was paying $10-$12 for in 2010

the dollar is way undervalued. It's more expensive now than it was under Kirchner in 2015. With the blue rate you could still live OK at that time. Right now a steak dinner runs you like $30 at a mid-range parrilla and a breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes, coffee and water is like $25 (wtf??)...

How do I find Ben?

Trying to fly (one-way preferably, but whatever's cheaper) Buenos Aires to Rio soon and all tickets seem just way overpriced. Was wondering if anyone had a different resource for discount plane ticket to Rio. Thanks.

I'm writing about this https://m.facebook.com/groups/384381348350377?view=permalink&id=1490800577708443 I saw this dog myself in person the other day. She's such a sweet, kind dog, and is scared half to death. People were trying to care for her on the street but she ran away when she heard some...

I love the Argie short shorts for men! But where can I buy some pairs that aren't so expensive? In Palermo at places like Bolivia these run like $30+ even when on sale. Looking to pay less than that...

Any great doctor, who listens, has good diagnostic ability?

Argentina is not a good place for you to come as a refugee. They have very few social services of quality and the Argentines are not welcoming to refugees like you. You won't be happy here. I suggest instead you go to Israel. Israel is a multicultural democracy that welcomes refugees from...

Thank you gracielle! Two quick questions for others: anyone know of a top-class dermatologist in BsAs? Or a dentist? I don't care about health insurance of course I'd pay out of pocket...
