    Legal Any risk to constantly overstaying on tourist visa? How many times can you do border runs in Argentina?

    I overstayed during COVID but they didn't say anything at all. I am toying with the idea of getting my DNI as I come for work now a bit. I talked to an expat a few months ago that said his partner got rejected coming back as he overstayed and was doing border runs for years. The customs...

    Is Tinder popular in Buenos Aires? If not, what is the most popular dating App?

    I think what @Cupid's Daughter is referring to is some locals think just because you're a gringo that you're a sucker. I am clearly a gringo as I am obviously not a local. I look very American. When I meet people on Grindr they automatically assume that I don't know any better but I have...

    Any experiences with Gay Dating Apps for Buenos Aires?

    FYI I use Grindr in Buenos Aires and it's quite good! I have found that people in Buenos Aires don't get so emotional about sex like the USA where I have a few hookups with men on Grindr. But that is in California.

    Newcomer Foreign Credit Card purchases at MEP rate?

    No I have never seen Discover card accepted here. Locals don't want to have to have yet another terminal in their business.

    Yes, that is the same rate I got using my card today. I think it's still very convenient to use a credit card vs. having to deal with Western Union.
