Depends how much cash you want to carry on the hip. It’s nice to have the alternative it you’re short of time to pop to WU or a Cambio house

Visa site shows the following for me which looks close enough to MEP 1000 ARS = 2.552119 GBP 1 ARS = 0.002552 GBP 1 GBP = 391.831227 ARS

Also, paying the overstay fee is cheaper than the digital nomad application fee

I would argue that if you can avoid a digital nomad visa, i.e. use a tourist visa, you should. Letting a country know you are working there remotely could open a can of worms that may be better left closed/ambiguous

I flew flybondi towards the end of last year. I saw some fairly big carry on weighed but mine was also fairly big and wasn’t. Think it’s luck of the draw really

I suspect due to advance jet fuel costs, airlines usually buy jet fuel 6 months in advance and 6 months ago they were toward their peak. My BA flights jumped from £1000 to £1800 in 5 months, though could also be due to time of year

Are there figures to show the rough ratio of tourists and expatriates against locals? There’s no denying that foreigners with more capital exacerbate property and rental prices though one would assume that the degree of this scales with the proportion of tourists. My intuition is that the ratio...

Thanks, will check this out. San Telmo has seemed surprisingly quiet, from inside, today

Are restaurants generally busier on these feriados? Wondering if I’ll struggle to find somewhere for dinner

Thank you kindly for the correction. In my defence, the first result when googling Feriados was 2022, though I should’ve clocked

And, in fairness, you were correct that I was bound to using the airport taxis awaiting outside. I did try to order an Uber but the nearest that they could pick up was about 20 minutes away and unclear how to get there from airport arrivals. It being swelteringly hot and me being fed off up of...

Thought I’d give some feedback based on my experience. I bought Colonia Express tickets via DirectFerries.co.uk and had no problems acquiring my bus/ferry ticket at Montevideo Tres Cruces terminal. Though, I do recommend bringing a printed ticket from DirectFerries The bus to Colonia was...

As far as I see from the government website, https://www.argentina.gob.ar/interior/feriados-nacionales-2022 , it’s not a feriado, at the very least

Thanks, quite rightly so, for moving this to a new thread. For the benefit of information sharing - the price was 2030 pesos - with debit and credit card as the only acceptable payment method, and thankfully for me they accepted Apple Pay on the door

I did stumble upon that site but the drop downs didn’t work on my phone, bizarrely. In any case, I thought it was a very reasonable price at MEP rate, and even official rate I’d have paid. It’s quite a bizarre place to wander around, took me back to Lenin’s mauseoleum in Red Square

I managed to get in easily enough paying at the door. It was 2030 pesos, card only

Is it not possible to pay at the door? Hoping I’ve not made a big mistake walking here without having bought a ticket first

Do you have a link? That’d help, thanks for the heads up!

Anyway, time to visit Recoleta cemetery for the first time!

Wasn’t that a case of being followed from the airport though? If I recall it was a fellow Brit, and I recall seeing reference to this case on government advice. In any case at the time I didn’t realise it was Faena until after I’d been there. Made me nervous when I saw an article later and...
