    Dollar Restrictions - Next Steps?

    Now, everyone is supposed to declare their dollars. If you declare them, you'll be able to sleep better at night (because the three inch bundle will be gone from under your matress!) and you get a nice IOU note and 4% interest. :) So then what? We've no had the CC limits put on for bordering...

    Leaving Eze With $10,000 - Advice

    I know 10k is the limit, but what do people do...just slip it in their wallets and be open about it? If I had a money belt, I presume that would show up on the body scanner - what then? Would I get into a situation where I was having to count it. Let's just say I would feel vulnerable in the...

    Tickets For Tigre V. Union This Friday - How To Get?

    So I'm at Ezeiza with US$25,000

    ...and I'm supposed to declare it. I tell the nice customs guy "hey, jose, I have 25,000 dollars under my wooly hat". Now what's going to happen to me as a UK citizen at that point? Once you've declared you're carrying over the 10k limit, what happens? My guess is that they'll want to know...
