🇦🇷 Argentina
Buenos Aires, pesos, digital nomad stay, daily life
Argentina pulls people who earn hard currency: with smart FX, BA can feel very comfortable on price, plus culture, food, and a dense nomad scene in Palermo.
Many passports (including Russia) get visa-free stays up to 90 days. Next: official digital nomad (up to 180 days) or temporary residence with a DNI. Money is its own skill (ARS, MEP, Mercado Pago). Start with visa and the pre-arrival checklist.
