Mostly it is: inside with mask and outside nobody cares. And a "mask" can be a simple cotton mask with your nose not being covered.

Anyone knows how the payout works? When and for what period they deposit the money?

Many of us have stayed here for a year or two without problems as "tourists". Not the correct way (welcome to Argentina) to do it but definitely feasible. They could even enter as tourists, stay here two years, never leave and apply for citizenship (if I understand bajocero's posts in the...

Yup. Under nacionalidad.

Hmmm. I wonder if they really check that. I mean the website captures the nationality via a form field. Uploading the DNI is mainly to verify your identity (= DNI number and name) against the selfie/video.

I always use my Argentinian citizenship for those accounts (all those crypto accounts were opened after I had received it). Maybe a motivation to apply for it? Short term: I wonder what happens if you accidentally (couldn't find your reading glasses) select "United Kingdom"?

What exchanges are you using on the Argie side for XRP and XRM?

1) Just come here as a tourist. Do NOT register a business. 2) Send yourself money via WU or get dollars across the border. Chile just got completely rid of the quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated tourists. A weekend trip to Santiago and fill your pockets with 100 dollar bills. 3) Get...

An alternative to WU is using crypto/stable coins (e.g. USDC). Used it earlier and got 197.40 vs. WU's 192.15 today. But using stable coins requires some familiarity with crypto exchanges. It is not as easy as WU.

Has anybody traveled recently (after lockdown) with a checked pet to or from the US? I have checked the websites from United, AA, and Delta and none seems to accept checked pets on south america flights.

It looks like AA no longer accepts pets as checked pets on flights: "We only accept checked pets at the ticket counter for active-duty U.S. Military and U.S. State Department Foreign Service personnel traveling on official orders. Fees and restrictions apply."...

Brady?

OSDE is both at the same time. They have an obra social component under their name plus the "prepaga" private health insurance part. However you cannot sign up for the obra social component without also contracting the private health insurance part (prepaga). So, I do not see them as a classic...

That's interesting. What obra social is better than private health insurance (e.g. OSDE, Swiss Medical)?

That sounds about right. You could also add the Mercado Pago Balance as a 4th option. You can keep money in your Mercado Pago account (they pay decent interest compared to bank savings accounts) and pay with that. Also, it might be worth to mention that all options including the cash option...

So true!

This one if things I hate most about Argentina. Those scammers. Having lived in other Latin American countries before, I have to say nowhere has it been that bad. By far. Those guys are probably knowingly selling damaged products and have fun ripping people off. Ripping off a foreigner is...

How do you know the CBU was changed?

The CBU normally stays the same. The background is that the banks often try to upsell you a package where the caja de ahorra is then just one part. They typically add some USD account, credit card (if you qualify) etc. so they can charge you money for it.

You mentioned you keep a few hundred dollars in that bank. The "caja de ahorros" in dollars is not free (only cajas de ahorro in Pesos have to be "free" by law). That explains why you have the super cuenta package. You could cancel the super cuenta package and just keep the free caja de ahorro...
