अर्जेंटीना: यात्रा से पहले क्या जानें
सबसे ज़रूरी
- Pay with a foreign Visa/Mastercard in pesos (choose ARS, not USD): foreign cards get the MEP 'tourist' rate, now within a few % of the blue rate since controls were lifted in April 2025.
- ATM withdrawals with foreign cards are expensive (high fixed fees, low limits) — bring clean USD 100 notes for cash needs.
- Foreign tourists don't pay 21% VAT on registered hotel stays paid with a foreign card or international transfer (not Airbnb).
- Carry medical insurance valid for your entire stay: the Argentine embassy states it is mandatory under Decree 366/2025.
- Watch for pickpockets and motorbike phone snatching in Buenos Aires; don't change money with street touts on Calle Florida.

एटीएम: Argentine ATMs charge foreign cards a high fixed fee per withdrawal with low per-transaction limits; avoid or use a card that refunds ATM fees.

- Some shops and restaurants give 10–20% discount for cash (efectivo).
- Hotel VAT (21%) exemption: registered hotels only, paid with a foreign card or international transfer, show passport and entry record.
