Yeah. I should have written "Indians in IT do speak English". Did not mean the whole population.

Just a quick comment: The policy is not the same across the whole country - in case you are not going to BA. In the Cuyo region (San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis) the 2 week hotel quarantine is still in place. Not sure if it is still up to date, but one article mentioned that the cost is $2000 ARS...

Many programmers here usually do not speak English (Indians do) and in my experience are not very productive either. Chat a lot, code little. So, no surprise with the low salaries.

The first good news in months.

I agree with 1) They have no idea what to do and are more or less incapable of preparing the health system for a higher number of cases (that we are getting now anyway). My "2)" would be that they want to use it as an excuse why Argentinia is bankrupt and won't be able to pay their debt for...

If you had a local ID number/DNI then you could buy crypto currency in the US/UK, then send it to an exchange here and finally have them deliver USD to your house. For example satoshitango.com offers such a service ("entrega a tu domicilio"). But I do not think that you can open an account at...

It should be!

How strange. Usually the Argentinians are so on time and reliable.

It is like the Argentinian Covid-19 test. Gives "us" soberanía. Which results in Argentina testing much less than most other countries...

OSDE and Swiss Medical are both pretty good from my experience. With Swiss Medical being a little less expensive than OSDE on a comparable health plan.

L'etat c'est Alberto.

WU payments actually arrive as a local deposit in your bank account. So, no paperwork with your Argentinian bank.

One more option is Galicia Move https://www.galiciamove.com.ar/ . It is Banco Galicias response to Brubank/Wilobank/Rebanking. You open it online and get your debit card in the mail. Includes an account in USD and one in ARS. No monthly fees. And as it is in reality a Banco Galicia caja de...

Edit: Not sure about the used books, though. Those might be third parties selling them over the Amazon platform. Or are they shipped by Amazon?

You will need a DNI for Wilobank as well.

So, I have just checked the maximum possible for in store and online purchases with the Brubank debit card and you can set both up to $100.000.

+1 for book depository. They are owned by Amazon. Free shipping. Arrives here via correo argentino. I have used them a lot. Amazon works as well. They seem to use DHL these days. Will get here faster, but you pay the expensive international shipping.

I think you mean Wilobank with the credit card. Brubank currently does not seem to issue credit cards. I tried Wilobank but I did no like them that much. Outdated interface of the app and website. Buying dollars has never worked. Their only plus is the credit card you mention.

Traditional banks are really terrible in Argentina. Their staff is often lazy and mostly incompetent. Regarding the debit card limit: You can often change it online (depending on the bank). There is actually nothing to approve because the customer can set it how he/she wants (within the bank's...

It is a ML thing, not Argentina. Same thing happened in Chile. Could not register without a RUT (their DNI equivalent).
