Hey I'm an American with PR in Argentina. You can get dollars using either PayPal or Crypto Stable coins with some money changers. Commission on Paypal is steep normally around 6% and on stable coins it's 2 or 3%. Also when you pay with card the preferable tourist dollar rate should (at least in theory) work on all international cards in the visa and Mastercard networks (does not work for AMEX and discover). Also the tourist dollar recently has begun to drift farther from dollar blue if I am not mistaken my transaction goes through at about 1:1240 and dollar blue is about 1:1340.
have you tried our pasta with sauces? pizzas "al molde" with faina? milanesas? salads...... mmmm maybe its true, we need more variety ¿where is the sushi? go to the barrio chino in belgrano neighborhood! there are a lot of variety 😂 (forget the empanadas 😅)
0:48 I think you are conflating withdrawing money with exchanging currencies. If you have Argentinian pesos in your bank account you can withdraw them at an ATM no issue. If you have dollar bills you would go to an unofficial currency exchange (known as Cuevas, Spanish for Caves), not an ATM. The reason why unofficial dollar is worth more is because it fluctuates freely without government intervention. Official exchange rate is a fantasy controlled by government that we are yet to solve.
Yes exactly, I assumed that one would not have Pesos on the bank account since it the video is aimed at foreigners that are just now coming to the country :)
