    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    Rules for entry to USA are about to change a little, for example, they will require a negative test not older than 24 hours before the departure time. But they haven't actually made it official or indicated what type of test they will require (PCR or anti-gen). So if you are about to fly to...

    Returning after overstaying visa

    Help please. I entered Argentina around the first week of March 2020. Then I stayed mostly due to Covid. I kept reading here about a disposition and auto extension of tourists visas every 30 days. So if I were to leave in May of 2022, does it still count as more than 2 years of overstay or is...

    Returning after overstaying visa

    Sorry I don't have an answer for you. How much of a fine did you end up paying? Did they tell you by how long you had overstayed? Even if there were no automatic extension of the visa, you were still below the 2 year mark.

    Border closures vOmicron?

    Thanks to South Africa's scientists and the transparency, we have a very early warning on Omicron. Because it is very early, there is much to be known so speculation is a moo point (like a caw's opinion, no body cares). Closing borders is cheap politics and won't do much except to delay the...

    Is anyone having fun in BsAs?

    Austria lifted the mask mandate and the infections spiked (it's winter there), so probably it is good to keep the masks on, especially when indoors. I would still avoid eating indoors with air-conditioning.

    Western Union money transfer

    Yes unfortunate. The fees are hefty as well. Even transferring to a bank account has a hefty fee of $28. Their stock price is not doing well lately. They have earnings announcement on Nov. 2. I hope they can maneuver their business model to be more competitive without hiking up the fees so much...

    Western Union money transfer

    The promo code is working for both instore cash pickups and transfers to bank accounts. If and when the promo is no longer valid, the fee will be pretty hefty even though the exchange rate is still very attractive. I have a feeling, going forward, they will reduce the fees significantly to...

    When will Argentina be open for tourists to enter?

    Restrictions have to do with low vaccinations rates and high infection rates in the country. As the vaccination rates increase, we will see opening to tourism (will require proof of vaccination). It is very likely this will happen by October 1st. 40% of the people in Argentina are fully...

    Sending money to Argentina via transfer

    I have two questions. 1) What is the monthly limit for sending myself money for cash pickup when I don't have a DNI? 2) What is the maximum I can transfer into an Argentinian friend's bank account per month without creating tax obligations for him/her? Thanks in advance.

    Venting on BAexpats...

    Argentinians have the right to and do criticize things that are wrong or bad in their country. If you live in Argentina, you also have the same right. What I think that is not right is when we start making prejudiced statements attributing certain characteristics to a whole group of people or...

    Why I am not planning on taking the vaccine any time soon, if ever

    The best way to end an epidemic of this magnitude that already killed millions is through mass vaccination for the entire world. This epidemic will continue killing people, and the virus will have many chances to evolve if a large portion of humanity is not vaccinated fast. Trust in science. The...
