How do I pay my rent in USD when I don't have USD cash?

[Quilombo]

Ah okay I am also going to uruguay soon is it worth it to get some dollars there? There will be fees however because of my specific bank

I haven't been in a while, but the fees are higher than using WU, IIRC you can take out around 800 USD at a time, and the fees are around $5 USD per withdraw + whatever your bank charges you back home.

Why would you do any of that when you can literally make money doing it in BA?

Today you can make money, earlier this week you could not, tomorrow who knows. If you happen to be going to Colonia anyways, it's another option to consider.

My rent is coming up soon and it is in USD. I have USD but I do not have cash USD. How am I supposed to pay my rent? Thanks

Ask friends, acquaintances and people on baexpats in general if anyone needs/wants to exchange US$ to AR$.

Except at the very beginning I have always changed my US$ with friends.
