The USD300 limit was upped a few years back to USD500 brought in plus up to a further USD500 purchased in the duty free shop on arrival. I might have to dig a little deeper to find you an attribution for that, though.

Despite the appalling standard of journalism and proof reading from The Daily Telegraph these days, I suspect they have got their story more-or-less right and this will turn out to be yet another of Boris Johnson's empty promises...

The problem with a Corruption Perception Index is it is exactly that - perception. On the surface the UK looks very proper and law abiding and is nice and high on the index yet British Banks are used to launder billions of dollars and pounds each year and British overseas territories are used to...

I wouldn't like to see anybody losing paid statutory holidays in Argentina or anywhere else and because I think they are good for individuals I think countries like the UK ought to have more. The original question is asking whether there is any evidence of an economic boost to Argentina from...

Ah.. ten years again. It's ten years from production scale carbon capture; from industrial scale green hydrogen manufacture - although there's a mandate to have that operational by 2030. And it's ten years from practical nuclear fusion and always has been. Forgive my cynicism and truly it will...

Interesting points and they could explain the phenomenon. Maybe the UK makes most of its money through its offices and factories and that drops when people are spending more time in cafes, shops and on the beach. Whenever a suggestion for an extra UK Bank Holiday comes up, it's knocked back by...

Tomorrow's Columbus Day is being celebrated today because public holidays are supposed to be good for the economy. But are they? Do we have the evidence? In the UK the most recent instances of additional public holidays were the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles...

According to information previously given in BAExpats, the store chain Diarco is supposed to be accepting any denomination or condition of USD for over-the-counter payments. Does anybody here ever shop at Diarco? (Me neither) Does anybody here know if the dollar thing is actually happening?

This table is quite interesting, not only because on all the scales it places income inequality in Argentina higher than the official figure but because of the comparisons with other countries in the Americas and worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equality

Somebody who is concerned about restrictions on location, types of care, wait times etc probably ought to consider medical insurance. Somebody who is in otherwise good health who wants to know that if they have an unexpected accident or fall unpredictably ill they will be cared for appropriately...

Do you mean Provinces as in self-governing states that make up the country of Argentina? Or are you looking for barrios and communities closer to the capital? Provincia de Buenos Aires surrounds the capital and is bigger than many other countries. There are many jolly nice and reasonably safe...

If the small print on the power supply reads something like 100-240v, 50-60hz then you are good to go. No adjustment necessary. Nearly all power supply units are like that these days.

Do you speak Spanish? "Buenos Aires Tiene Historia" is a book I recommended on this site a few weeks ago. Use search box above for details

I think we might have a bit of a language problem here. I think the consulate are probably correct: you can not apply if you entered on a tourist visa. But if you are an EU citizen you will have entered visa-exempt which is whole different thing.

It depends. Different countries, different rules. And remember: this is about crossing the border in either direction, in or out. USA is USD10000 per family or group traveling together; UK is GBP10000 per family or group whilst Argentina is USD10000 per person. Best to check the rules for your...

So who are these guys? Yes, I know who they say they are but I want to know who other people say they are. I'm sure that if King Herod had had an "About Us" page on his website it would have given a lot of guff about "Taking positive action to promote opportunities for the second born" or somesutch.

What @dlish sed. Diarco supermarket chain say they will accept dollar payments in any denominations but new, unused, unfolded, unmarked USD100s are the way to go. Not only will ATMs give you the official rate but they will deduct huge local fees and charges. Emergency Use Only. There is lots...

If you really want to conduct genuine research you could do worse than starting by reading this: https://www.pewresearch.org/writing-survey-questions/ But if all you want to do is confirm your own personal prejudices then you are probably doing fine as you are.

You don't have to wait for a future event: it's already happened. Does nobody remember the derailment in Palermo on the LSM this May? Many injured; thankfully nobody killed. IIRC the derailment wasn't caused by the theft of the signalling equipment but by the badly-thought-out workaround that...
