    Is there any use for crypto in Argentina?

    It works quite well to get money into the country and exchange it at a good rate to pesos. For example you can buy USDC in the US (or elsewhere outside Argentina) then send it to your address at a local exchange and get pesos for it. This way you can get a good exchange rate (in my past...

    September 12 Primary elections coming up. You can vote with your DNI.

    But this is for the city (Buenos Aires) elections. Many cities allow their permanent resident foreigners (who have lived at least x years in the city) to vote in the local elections.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    I would try to call migrations / contact them via web (http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/contacto/) to explain them the situation and see if they let you change the address. I personally would not risk getting in trouble by not following the rules of the quarantine. Worst case you get arrested...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    Aviacionline and SirChandler (https://www.sirchandler.com.ar/2021/08/resumen-de-vuelos-aprobados-para-todo-agosto-info-parcial/) were my primary sources for flight info when I was stranded in the US. Thanks to those two sites I made it back home.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    They did not enter the house. One of them stayed in the police car the other one was standing outside my door. He did not ask if anybody else was in the house. He did ask when I had arrived in Argentina/landed at EZE, the DNI number, what citizenship I have, if I had my appointment for the PCR...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    What is "just now? Before the flight? On the plane? I do not think you can get through migrations in Argentina without having it filled out. I had also the airline verify that I had filled it out at checkin and then again before boarding the flight to EZE.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    Yes. Prepare for an unannounced visit. It seems to be slightly different for each province, though. Cordoba until recently tracked it only by phone. But they may check in person now too with their recent travel related delta cases and the pressure from the national government. In any case I had...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    Yeah everything totally normal. Olympic team stranded in Tokio. Being forced to stay extra month(s) abroad. And airlines only guessing that flights might happen but not getting any approval until a few days before the flight date.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    That would not work either. Many countries require you to have a return flight for visa-free travel. Also imagine you are abroad and suddenly the flight back would cost thousands because of high demand. Most travelers either need or want to buy both flights together. And do not get me wrong. I...

    Covid Vaccination Argentina

    I agree! In the provinces (or at least here in the province) they are not testing much for the delta variant. Only if you have traveled internationally and are covid-19 positive. All the other cases are just tested if covid positive or negative. As a result we have have little official delta...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    Next two weeks? August 6 is in a week. Both flights before August 6? That's would be a very short trip. Who profits from this? The Argentinian government by getting rid of Aerolineas Argentina's competition. This is probably their long-term goal. See also...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    I agree. That would be ideal. And this is how it works in most other countries. But we are in Argentina. Flights are only approved until August 6 and the flights approved until August 6 are most likely all full. So, the airlines would not be able to sell any future flights at this point. Edit...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    Right. Having bronze medal winners stranded in Tokio, because of incompetence on all levels of the government is reading too much into it. LOL This is what the airlines do (not their fault). They book you on a future date of a flight that has not been approved yet. They can not do anything...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    It takes a few days until it is cancelled in the reservation system. The callcenter guys only see what is in the system. So, for them it seems like the flight is still happening. The same happened to me when they canceled my flight from IAX to EZE. I think it took around two days until I got the...
