Time difference between Buenos Aires and Karachi

Karachi is 8 hours ahead of Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina is UTC−3 · Karachi, Pakistan is UTC+5 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Buenos Aires does not change its clocks and Karachi does not change its clocks — so 8 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Buenos Aires and nine-to-five in Karachi do not overlap at all. With 8 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
