The million dollar question about dollars and other provisions not found on Arg.

[Nailddict]

Hello everyone!

So, I will be going to arg on a couple of months I've been before , but for weeks at the time. This time I will be staying for a while (about a year). My question is, what is the best way to exchange dollars? I never had an issue before as I knew somsone on the Banco Central, but now with everything being so regulated, what can I do?

I had a friend tell me she could not exchange her dollars because she was asked where they came from!

So, even if it is through the "back door" how can I get the most pesos out of my greens? ( I speak Spanish and Prtuguese so there is no language issue)

Also, what are things that you wish you would have brought from the US/Canada/EU that you cannot find/get on Argentina? What are things that you miss the most or would recommend to bring???

... Thank you!
