Tourist Bank Account

[Patrick1988]

Hi,

The Tourist Bank Account was supposed to be introduced this year. Does anybody know whether this is already available?

Also if you open that tourist bank account and stay in Argentina for more than 6 months, do you think that the bank will inform the gov. that the person is now a tax-resident in Argentina?

Many thanks

one month ago there was an article on that in infobae. Not a single account opened so far:

No se abrió ni una sola cuenta bimonetaria de las que lanzó el Banco Central para atraer los dólares del turismo extranjero

El objetivo era que esas divisas no se canalicen por el mercado informal. Pero el trámite es engorroso y el turista no puede llevarse los dólares en la mano al abandonar el país

Twas an ill-conceived joke from the beginning.

Most of the laws here are a joke anyway. labour laws (no one is hiring), ley de alquileres (no one is renting out), control de precios to combat inflation (never worked), ”illegal” dolar blue, solidarity tax that no one is paying, …. and the list goes on.

I think its best to file tourist bank account" alongside the "digital nomad visa" under "Things that will never happen".

Along with complete removal of mask regulations and return to normalcy. Businesses here will continue to enforce occupancy restrictions because it is in line with their interests. As long as they can serve one person at a time they don't care about the rest. In reality it makes their job easier and provides a convenient excuse for shitty customer service.

kirchnerists be like, "I don't understand economics nor reality but let's make these rules anyway"

Rich kirchneristas be like “actually it is good that workers think they have rights yet still have to serve me and my monopoly like slaves.”

I've enjoyed this thread very much!

I think the tourist bank account should just consist of a cut-the-line pass at PagoFacil and a handy hard-case for Evitas free with every tourist visa stamp for faster, more practical results...and the digital nomad pass should be a 90-day DNI-free Telecentro contract.
