Bank account opening without DNI in 2025

Sorry, i means photo of you or your face of course, not copy of passport. Thanks
No they just ask for a copy of the passport. CDI doesn't use biometrics at all. The passport is for the Escribano.

It's rules like in a prison. Just inacceptable for me for moral reasons
Well unfortunate the entire world is all going to biometrics. Soon every time you walk down the street the government will know where you are. They will mostly know what you buy online. Know every time you enter their borders. This is all changing. Gone are the days of being anonymous if you're going to travel. Land borders will take longer but it's all going to change in the next few years.

The best thing is having nothing to fear of hiding.

Excellent, thanks.

In that way soon you will should ask electronic permission every time you go walk outside. I remember this has already happened in 2020 in many countries. Honestly, I don't want start debates about it, it's oblivious things and thoughts.

I don't think you have to ask electric permission to go out. You can do whatever you want. Just don't expect any privacy from the government. Milei has already said he wants to make it a focus. Argentina will be watching all over. Doubt you can escape that.

Electric permissions to go out already was in 2020 in many countries, I remember it. No privacy - no freedom, it's oblivious thought. If today they ask identification for purchases in shops for example, tomorrow they will ask permission for it.

Sorry guys, I don't want start holywar, I just seek answers for my questions 🙂

Unless you are a terrorist why does it matter what you buy?? I don't' get it. If you're so worried about being spotted in the airport undetected my guess is you are probably a criminal or wanted by the police.

Lol, classical opinion: if you don't accept prison-like rules in regular life - you are probably criminal. Really? I just remember times 10-15 years ago when you wasn't need take photos or fingerprints for border crossings, shop purchases or buying simcards or something else.

Past time, just 10-15 years ago fingerprints are collected only from convicted criminals, now it takes from every law-abiding citizens and you ok for it lol. You just forgot how free the world was a short time ago

I definitely am not in favor of big brother in government but I have NO problems with giving up my fingerprints and photo when traveling internationally or in airports or border crossings. Unfortunately a lot of bad guys out there. I have zero issues with biometrics at the airport or crossing into other countries. I think if you don't want that you stay in your home country.
 
I tried all of these places and they wouldn't open up a USD account without having residency. I opened up a peso account but I want to open up a dollar account. I tried all the normal banks. I did open up both dollar and peso accounts with Naranjana X but I don't see any option to wire dollars from my American bank to it. Anyone know of an easy way? I don't want to use Western Union as fees are too much sending in pesos and then converting to USD.

What are you trying to achieve? Just to get USD here? Easy to just use a trustworthy cueva or ask @BuySellBA. They can help you.

Girlfriend got a new place and I am paying to renovate it and furnish it. Probably a one and done situation. At least that is what I hope! Amount is sizable and do not trust the cuevas. I am also traveling so I just need to authorize my bank to do a wire to US dollar account. Thanks betsy for the suggestion. I will contact them.

Listen to Betsy. I have wired down some money to them and it was very easy. Fees were minimal too. You can DM me if you have questions.
