Hi! I wanted to see if anyone knows most up-to-date fees one could expect to pay on the purchase of a property in CABA. I guess it’s all based on a % of the sale price. I’ve looked on Google and the forum etc, but as everything changes so often in Argentina that it would be good to get...

Hello! What’s the deal with the obra social and monotributo? I had one back in 2020 and remember I just chose a random one and paid a fractional amount. Is there anyway to avoid it? I don’t need one as I have one through my other half. Not looking for a debate - just insight if I can opt out.

“Argentina no es un país caro, es un país valioso” Hope the link works https://www-ambito-com.translate.goog/economia/crisis-del-turismo-el-gobierno-analiza-un-iva-diferencial-aliviar-al-sector-n6163567/amp?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

I just had to share this article from 2017. So many parallels, it’s unreal. Just swap the name Macri for Milei and this could’ve been written yesterday. Back then, it was “different this time” too. I remember it was expensive in those days. It started coming undone in December that year...

We all knew it anyway, but yesterday it was confirmed that BCRA is intervening in the futures market to manipulate the exchange rate - and with a big increase in May too. Link in English (hopefully it works)...

Hello. With recent relaxing of rules, does anyone know if it’s possible for a client to pay me in USDT to an Arg-based and regulated crypto wallet (mainly Lemon) and then declare that as monotributo as part of exportación de servicios...

Well this pretty much shows that the current government is “los mismos de siempre” doing “lo mismo de siempre”. https://www-iprofesional-com.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true I hope that link works for the translation, if not here is the...

Tried it today. The app is pretty crappy but it worked amazing for receiving WU transfers. The fee was VERY low compared to cash pick-up or sending to a bank account. It's a flat fee of GBP1.99 (for me from the UK) and this doesn't go up the higher you send. Best of all, it arrived instantly...

Question re bringing goods in: Looking at the “regimen de equipaje” foreign permanent residents get a “franquicia” of $15,000 USD in goods that they can bring to Argentina, obviously as part of their move to the country. Question is when does that apply? Person I am asking for is: -Colombian...

It's been pretty stagnant since mid-October, so we've seen some serious inflation in dollars since, especially in December. Pretty alarming how pricey things are getting in hard currency, many supermarket and farmacy items costing the same or more than in places like the US and UK etc - we've...

Is there another platform I can use for exchanging USDT for ARS? For UK-registered users of Binance, new UK regulations meant an update was made to the app and we can no longer access P2P for foreign currency, only GBP. Frustrating as it was a means of getting pesos quickly when needed. Any...

Hello… just thought I’d share a handy tip with you all, which is buying cheaper goods at the duty free store in Iguazu. As you pass through Migraciones, before crossing the bridge to Brazil, there’s a duty free shopping centre. And here’s the great thing… The prices are fixed in USD, BUT...

Hello! I posted this in the WU thread, but as it's important, I guess it warrants it's own thread. I'm sharing this information out of good will to help fellow expats, as it seems not a lot of people know about this. I am not an expert so please no one attack me for posting this. It's really...

Hey, does anyone know of any casa de cambio or crypto agencies that accept transfers, either USD or stablecoins, in exchange for cash USD or ARS. I found one through Cambio Baires. They accept USDT and give you USD in cash, but it's a $300 minimum with a 6% fee. Wanted to see if anyone has any...

Hi all. How reliable is DHL recorded delivery for sending a small letter from the UK? The envolope would contain two bank cards and a sim card. I received one no problem back in 2018, but things change her every 5 minutes hence wanted to check again. The cards would be frozen so no problem...

Hey, thought I’d share this app I’ve been using to pay for things at the blue/cripto rate and has been working very well for me. Bitso is a crypto virtual wallet that lets you pay with QR code in stores in Argentina using USD stablecoins. For those that don’t know, USD stablecoin is pegged to...

Hello! Given the "dolar turista extranjero" is now working for Mastercards, I've been trying to use my Wise and Paysend cards on Rappi, PedidosYa and MercadoLibre and they're not accepting these foreign cards. Rappi was working two weeks ago with both my Wise and Paysend card, and I got the...
