Hey all, Has anyone heard anything new about the banks starting to stock some ATMs with USD? I remember reading in la nacion that a couple banks we prepping to do that for the cepo change, but can't find anything more recent. Would just be convenient to have more options available. Thanks

Hey all, This one is a long ramble so TLDR; I say Colonia visa runs are in a "exersize caution" staus, but dollars are still very easy to get. Just thought I'd toss out my personal experience on a Colonia run as of recent for the group. Personal background so everyone can interpret to their...

La Nacion seems to be pretty popular for tracking it. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/dolar-hoy/

It looks to me like this is just a preliminary fear jump with the impending IMF agreement terms. I don't see how it won't bump up plenty more when the policy removals go into effect. Does anyone else feel like there is a weird sense of deception around it though? I keep seeing articles with...

Post Script: Got off the phone with the NY embassy, sounds like the entry migraciones officer simply booked me as tourist even though I had the nomad visa. The embassy made it sound like there's nothing that can really be done about it, system can't be adjusted for how the officer books. Bit...

Hey everyone, Quick question, does anyone have a recommended email or contact for issues with entry status. I like to process under the digital nomad visa just to play by the rules (makes me feel safer with carrying so much computer tech for my job), but checked my online entry stamp and it's...

Aha, that makes more sense as to why there seems to be so much hesitancy around lifting the controls even with IMF cash. Was seeing a couple articles about how the current deal in talks wouldn't really cover much past standing deficit. I can see the worry that a dirty float would only last half...

Just as a point of monitoring the news on this; seems like the papers are still tracking the current IMF deal to include lifting the cepo. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/argentina-and-the-imf-scenarios-for-a-possible-new-agreement.phtml That said, if anyone can explain the whole...

That makes more sense, explains why the news has been sounding so tense with the IMF pressure and the sort.

Definitely agree on the falling consumption. Seeing a lot less eating out among friends and family. Even seen my in-laws, once extremely nationalistic asado touting cuisine become less and less meat based, now leaning on homemade pizzas. Plus hand rolling cigarettes over store bought.

Hey all, I don't usually get in on the political and economic speculation, but I keep up with the herald articles and it feels like they've been painting a picture. Especially with all the news about how the central bank keeps spending more on artificially keeping exchange rates down, and now...

Hey, not a bad idea, thanks for the recommendation. I haven't really loved the danbo cheese I've tried so far, but it's mostly been generic brand. I'll keep an eye out for this one to try.

aha, thank you kindly. Was just seeing medical grade stuffs on Mercado Libre

Good afternoon everybody, Real shot in the dark on this one but, I've had enough and miss my junk processed cheese. I refute and detest cheddar cheeseburger superiority. Would anyone have an idea where to buy this sodium citrate stuff? The rest of the process seems pretty doable, but I'm not...

Hello all, Does anyone know if there is a way to request a history/record of entry and exit to the county? I'm filling in some paperwork and haven't been too diligent with my record-keeping (besides, an official source would be better anyhow). I know there's a website for getting most recent...

Ah darn, sorry, didn't actually try to pull any for myself this trip. I just meant in terms of migrations practicality. Maybe someone else will have some more ATM input.

Hello all, I've just got back from a short weekend trip to Colonia and thought I'd share the experience since there's been some back and forth about the practicality of using the runs to reset 90 day visas lately. Background, my girlfriend (Argentine) and I wanted to see Colonia for the first...

Thanks for the feedback. Let corporate know, their turn to work out all the broker stuffs. Knew it was a bad idea but, company policy, they wanted to mail from the head office instead of sourcing locally. Dang pain.

Hello, I have a package being sent from the US to CABA, but am being told it is held up at customs. It was shipped with FedEx, but now they're saying I need a "customs broker". To my understanding, the issue is I probably need to go pay an import tax/legal bribe. It's a work expense, so I'm...
