The plain "obra social" you can sign up with when creating a monotributo does not provide much coverage. So it is recommended to sign up with one of the "Prepagas" like Swiss Medical, OSDE etc. that provide pretty good coverage. Neither monotributo nor DNI is required to sign up with those...

If they sell you dollars without a DNI and / or CUIL/CUIT, they will still charge you the 30%.

... But basically what you are describing happened towards the end of the Macri administration. They called it "Rulo" if I am not mistaken. Unfortunately lots of dollars from the reserves and from the IMF loans were lost that way.

You are forgetting the 30% PAIS tax when buying USD with ARS.

I still have to give WU a try (bank to bank). So, does the first transfer go through directly or do they hold the funds while some verification process takes place? Had that happen with another service during the last cepo ... Also, I made a smaller transfer using Bitcoin today (using Coinbase...

I did a quick comparison and today the best rate was with WU with 82.82, followed by the combo Coinbase Pro (buy Bitcoin) / Ripio (sell as ARS) with 81.99.

Yes, it is interesting for people who already have US Dollars (either exchanged before the cepo or brought from abroad).

Let's be honest: Without the "border runs" a lot of use would not be here today. I for sure would not be here. When I first came here I did not fit in any of the migration categories (my income from abroad did not qualify as passive income) and I did the "border runs" for about a couple of years...

Not sure if it now also works with amazon.com. Back when I first started ordering electronics from them it did not work (I think back then it only worked with books). But maybe it does now. Worth a try. With the shipping address: You just use an address in Argentina with your billing address in...

The really sad thing is that a lot of those borrowed dollars were spent on financing the capital flight / keeping the Argentinian Peso exchange rate up. Money lost.

For getting electronics I do always try the following: 1) First look in MercadoLibre Some products are not that expensive on ML. For example I remember buying products from Logitech and Kingston where the small differences in prices made no sense to import them (though this may change going...

Interestingly Pino Solanas has switched sides and was with "Frente para Todos" (the current government's alliance) in the last elections. Go figure ...

I am no tax expert, but I think this applies to any "significant" deposits into your bank account (no matter if it is via cryptocurrency, Transferwise, western union, cash deposit, transfer from another Argentinian bank ...). From what I understand the AFIP monitors your bank accounts...

In the US I used Coinbase (Coinbase Pro interface) to buy. In Argentina I used ArgenBTC to sell the bitcoin and yes, I received the funds in my "Caja de Ahorro" account here.

There is still the option to buy bitcoin in the US online and then sell in Argentina and have them deposit the pesos to your local bank account. Also gets you around 80 pesos per dollar.
