    Has anyone had to show their DNI or Passport while shopping at the Grocery Store in Buenos Aires?

    No! They shouldn’t even ask for your ID number; you only need to present the card. In some stores, they still ask you to sign the receipt and provide your ID number or passport, but you no longer have to show it or mention it.

    Newcomer Do you think the arrival of digital nomads and expats is gentrifying Argentina?

    Oh yes! I’ve heard about this issue, and it seems to be a problem across Latin America. Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil are facing the same challenge, and now it's happening in Spain too.
