On a topic that I consider to be related... I think young people in Argentina are very well behaved. Polite, courteous, friendly. I don't like to paint with a broad brush, but it just seems really noticeable to me. Good parenting points for Argentina.

I just dont understand the excitement over using credit cards. I've gone to the visa calculator site, and the exchange rate is like $342. Thats about 10% below the MEP rate, and certainly below what I can get through the services -even with their higher service fees.

My favorite part of dealing with real estate agents in Argentina is the part of the conversation where they start talking about how complicated the rental agreement is and how much work it is to type up. Its like they think they are the only people in the universe who know the 'secret' of the...

Can you please elaborate on 'do the passport'? Is this referring to getting an Argentine passport or to renewing your home country passport? Thanks

If I recall, there are different overstay visa payment tiers depending on length of overstay. Can I ask how long you overstayed for that 12,500 payment?

Its getting substantial. I've switched to exchanging my cash dollars rather than utilize WU for living expenses. When the WU rate crosses back above the blue, I'll switch back.

Any suggestions for a place for cash exchange would be appreciated. Thx

A question: You're in store #1 and go up to the counter. The cashier/shopkeeper sees you, he/she knows your there but engages in some sort of 'busy activity' for a minute before helping you. In store #2, you go up to the counter and the cashier immediately stops what they were doing and takes...

I've noticed that whenever I deal directly with the owner of a business (or one of their family members), that they are usually friendly, professional, and provide good service. When I interact with an employee or a non-owning manager, the service depends on whether or not they recognize me...

Do you use a VPN for this, so that it appears you are using an internet connection in France?

I'm in Mar De Plata, sorry can't help you there.

as of 4:30pm July 5th: Sending $1000 via Western Union: exchange rate $251.2 $30 fee (with discount code) for debit card/cash pickup Sending $1000 via Moneygram: exchange rate of $262.78 $14.99 fee for debit card/cash pickup I think its time to switch to Moneygram.

Same boat as you. And on my existing account , I was never able to get the free transaction promo-code to work either.

I could make some reasonable guesses as to why one location employs a large number of Venezuelans - but it would be better if you just struck up conversations and got to know the employees. You might be surprised by what you discover.

I'm sorry I don't have any experiences returning to Argentina after overstaying a tourist visa. However, I am currently in the same situation as you were. I am here on a tourist stamp since February 2020 and am still in country. I am curious, when you paid - did you pay the overstay fee at...

Looking at this a bit more - the time periods are being 'modified' not imposed-they are actually easing the current time restrictions- and the transaction size limit of 50K is per bank account (down from 100K; and the affect parties undoubtedly have 100s of accounts) - So this is almost...

My quick, hot take here, jBlaze: From reading some of the materials, this won't directly affect Western Union transfers. These restrictions won't apply to any transactions outside the jurisdiction controlled by Argentina. WU transfers officially take place in one of the caribbean islands...

So, I've never done or said anything seditious against any government on earth. But if I were, hypothetically speaking, to do so here, would I be put in a confined prison space with lots of straight, masculine Argentine men? Oh my. Let me fan myself while I catch my breath. The thought is...
