Just a heads up—when you get to the café, feel free to grab your coffee or food at the counter first, then come find our group! We’ll be chilling on the back patio. See you soon! 🥐☕️✨

Yeah is not the best infrastructure, that's why you need to do you research and spreadsheet of which place to buy to automatize that process. I do that for my schedule meeting.

eu4life 3mo

I come from Venezuela and living in Argentina and the infrastructure problem is a huge time-consuming issue, something that in Rio de Janeiro, Miami or big cities that works smoothly

kindlymartin 3mo

Crap, missed it this time:)

Aloha everyone, I am new to this community

njo 3mo

Has anyone found a neobank / digital bank in Argentina that can be used by foreigners without an Argentinian ID?

vasconcelos 3mo

The closest you can get is Prex Uruguay

njo 3mo

ahh interesting. do you know if they permit transacting ARS (either storing ARS in a wallet, or ideally also local ARS transfers?)

vasconcelos 3mo

I think (people can correct me) they allow you to exchange ARS and spend with a card in ARS, but no transfers (except between Prex <> Prex)

vasconcelos 3mo

At least I use Prex Chile and I can do that

maristia 3mo

No, you need 🇦🇷 ID

agutole 3mo

the best option and best exchange rate is taking with you phisical dollars and exchange them in a "cave", then pay in cash, many places have discounts when paying cash isntead of with cards

kindlymartin 2mo

last minute but - any nomad in buenos aires would like to grab a drink tonight?

cancucs 2mo

alexrod94 2mo

Is there a Western Union at the airport? If there isn’t, how can I get pesos on arrival?

bobbyk0312 2mo

at an ATM

alexrod94 2mo

Do they offer the blue dollar rate?

alexrod94 2mo

I heard it's not really a good idea to take pesos from an ATM in ARG

dschulman 2mo

I've never used an ATM in Argentina. I saw a news article that they recently raised the limits, but I believe the fees are still high. Last time I entered BA, I did not bother getting pesos directly on arrival. I just booked the Tienda Leon shuttle bus with a credit card and went to a WU in town.

vasconcelos 2mo

Just get the sufficient to go to the city and there you get the real thing

vasconcelos 2mo

But there is banco de la nacion in the airport, just bring some dollars and you can get good enough rate for arriving

vasconcelos 2mo

I would not try to maximize all the paths, its okay to get a bad rate in this part of the trip, just arrive safe and get a mobile data first :D

alexrod94 2mo

Thanks for the tips!

rcsligar 2mo

I am currently in Brazil and I miss Argentina because people were more educated, and I can get by a lot better in Spanish than Portuguese. I heard it’s almost US prices there now for a lot of things, and unfortunately I’m not earning much right now.

eu4life 2mo

Yeah this is by far for EU/US foreigns a time/effective solutions.

Others alternative is to :
- Buy BTC or USDT with CC in Binance
- Go to a Palermo shop to get ARS for USDT or BTC

eu4life 2mo

Do this for get enough pesos to move to Town.

And then go to Florida street for exchange. (Tradeoff?, Get a good rate, by going to a small, old stores at the heart of the city and see the subculture)

bobbyk0312 2mo

Agreed. sorry, my answer was too short. I meant use the ATM to get enough for the fare to BA, then deal with WU or whatever there. Uber works too and you can just order an Uber to get to BA from the airport and won't need cash at all

royibernthal 2mo

Hey, how do you go about finding good rentals in Argentina for long term stays? Do you use expensive platforms like airbnb or are there cheaper and more remote work friendly options?

cancucs 2mo

this is our local airbnb, but not sure if it works well for big cities.
https://www.alquilerargentina.com/

sofiss 2mo

You can try mercadolibre, they have an app

sofiss 2mo

It’s like amazon you can buy whatever you want and also have places for rent

royibernthal 2mo

Thanks I’ll check those out!

royibernthal 2mo

Why would someone use it over airbnb? More local offerings? Is it really good for long-term stays?

royibernthal 2mo

Interesting. Have you been using it yourself for flexible rentals? (a few months and up)

liamlawson 2mo

anyone in calafate and chalten over the next few days?

zachcarrier 2mo

Is it just me or does it feel like there’s less people here now? I’ve coming to BA since 2019

camillevitar 2mo

Why you prefer rentals over AirBnB? Is just because of pricing?

dschulman 2mo

I think lots of people looking for less expensive places.

jhughey 2mo

My wife and I will be in Buenos Aires from Sunday to Sunday next week. Plotting to visit a town in Patagonia the week after, then Mendoza wine countrythe following week. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up.

matipenas 2mo

helloo, can I ask to those that have to pay visa to enter Argentina, how much is it?

camillevitar 2mo

Anyone want to play tenis this Friday 9 pm? In Nun̈ez

royibernthal 2mo

Pretty much. Airbnbs are unnecessarily expensive for long stays don’t you think?

srodriguez 2mo

Who's going to the Boca game next Sunday?

Revenue Sharing

Im looking for a solution for revenue split thats transparent, inexpensive and large automated to share profits with my cofounder. Where I dont have to set up an LLC and has cross border payment. One idea is to use an affiliate style system and route all payments through that but isnt ideal. Anyone has / knows a better option?

harrisoncorina 2mo

Hey 👋

Anyone stayed in good, sociable colives in BA?

mdestefanis 2mo

Hi, I searched but I didn't find one that convinced me. Either they are for students, or they are from "closed" communities, etc
So i ended up renting an Airbnb

mickmick 2mo

Just arrived in BA - Palermo. DM if you feel like joining working from cafe’s, or going for a drink in the evening, exploring the city or hit the gym/ go for a run.
(Working mostly on my SW/ SaaS/ AI bizz)

bohdandrozdov 2mo

same

bohdandrozdov 2mo

I love to stay in colivings, but I realised that in popular places like BA/Medellin easier to stay in your own place since there no shortage of social events

pierrepatrouill 2mo

Got to Buenos aires a few days ago. Running an AI Growth mktg agency. Excited to connect

lasseflagstad 2mo

Anyone that plays padel here at a C4/C5 level?

knocte 2mo

Any dev freelancer in BA?

danielm 2mo

yes

jhughey 2mo

Carne to Bariloche for the weekend. All I can say is holy shit! This place is just..... Wow

harrisoncorina 2mo

Best neighbourhoods in BA for living and working?

bohdandrozdov 2mo

Palermo is the most popular

bohdandrozdov 2mo

I lived in downtown close to congresso and enjoyed it too

harrisoncorina 2mo

Palermo yeah?

bohdandrozdov 2mo

if you need coffee shops, cafe and fancy stuff

jhughey 2mo

Ok nomad peeps.. Who's in Palermo these next two weeks and wants to meet up?

gonzalofilo 2mo

Hey guys! How are you? Anyone free and interested in bouldering on Friday? If you are, I can host a meetup and see you there! No experience needed, and the place rents shoes.

mrtn010 2mo

Hey xvqazslsbqqew I would love to go

mrtn010 2mo

gonzalofilo 2mo

Great! I hosted a “formal” meetup in Nomadlist but I’ll be there Friday 7pm at Centro Andino de Buenos Aires (Rivadavia 1253 - CABA)

See you!

hermis 2mo

Hello guys! Do you think the costs of living listed on the page are accurate and reflect the real situation? Saw some guy travelling to Buenos Aires recently and he was saying it's quite expensive. Im considering coming in August for like a month. Rent prices are low but what about food?

louissugar 2mo

In BA right now. Rent in Palermo for a 1BR on airbnb roughly 1k USD per month.
Eating out mid range around 30 USD, can easily go higher.
Grocery prices can be weird, rule of thumb is anything imported will be expensive, everything else around upper European prices. Meat is cheaper.
Alcohol can get expensive.

hermis 2mo

Really appreciate that Sir, thanks :)

mrtn010 2mo

Hello, is anyone going today to this event? Do more people usually come there? https://www.meetup.com/ba-digital-nomads/events/306482242/

ognjen 1mo

Did the same itinerary 2 weeks ago, you’ll have a blast

jamesboast 1mo

Arrive in mendoza next week. Anyone around?

lenilsonjr 1mo

Landed in Buenos Aires yesterday, planning on staying for a month around Palermo. Lmk if anyone’s around!

lenilsonjr 1mo

Also, would appreciate any tips on buying clothes here in Argentina. I was unprepared for the cold weather and spent wayyy too much money on a Uniqlo jacket 😂

alfraga90 1mo

Is the water potable in BA? Anybody know

cancucs 1mo

Yes, it is.

cancucs 1mo

Right now, clothes are really expensive in Argentina compared to neighbor countries. If you are around Palermo, go to Distrito Arcos.

lenilsonjr 1mo

Thank you 🙏

ognjen 29d

Check out neighborhood Once

goldenapple 29d

hey guys, how do you pay taxes there? do you have a personal accountant? how do you handle double taxation with your base country?

ceciliafmoores 20d

Holaaa
Any nomads or expats around Pilar or San Isidro? I’m in between the two for the next week or so and would love to find a bit of community — coworking buddies, social plans, maybe some sports.
Originally from Buenos Aires but have been abroad for a long time. These days I’m based part-time in Lisbon, part-time chasing summer.

I work in marketing for the fintech space and am currently diving deeper into growth and performance.
Also into tennis, surfing, photography, biohacking, fitness, and all things community.

From the 21st I’ll be around Palermo if anyone’s up for hanging out or coworking!

bohdandrozdov 20d

we have a lot of common interests, but I've already left Argentina :(

benguez 19d

Mundolingo tonight anyone?

dschulman 15d

Has anyone recently extended their tourist visa (prorroga turistica)? If so, where/when did you get your file number (número de expediente)?

I went to the immigration office about 10 days ago. I thought they were going to email me the file number, but I still haven't gotten it. I've tried asking through their online contact form, but they just keep sending me a form reply telling me to go the web page that you need to enter the file number.

claykoala 14d

I did 3 weeks ago, but they only asked me for my passport and 20k pesos, nothing else

dschulman 14d

zifkhjhi I did the same. Did they give you a stamp in your passport or a file number to enter into https://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/consultaTramitePrecaria/ConsultaUnificada.php

claykoala 14d

They just gave me a piece of paper that says I can stay for 3 more months

alfraga90 13d

How are you guys bypassing customs to receive packages overseas?

veronicalassa 11d

Estaré en Madrid de 22 al 25 de mayo. Alguien sabe si hay lugar para hospedarse como nómade?
