I would suggest localcryptos exchange, that's what I used many times and I can suggest it to my friends however you will still need to be careful about the people how to offer where also this would depend on where you are going a country like china banned bitcoin and cryptocurrencies completely and even if you find someone to do p2p transaction this would not be safe for you to do not get scammed while in some other countries they accept bitcoin payment while you want to buy stuff like el salvador.

I have zero experience with P2P exchanges, thus I can't suggest them myself. However, what's wrong with traditional exchanges, even in OP's scenario? Couldn't we potentially use Binance for instance, along with another online banking service, such as Revolut? Personally, I've deposited money on my Revolut through my debit card, without paying any fees. Then, you can proceed to use your digital card, which if I'm not mistaken, is issued immediately.

hello, I'm in the city (NYC) and I would like to know how a tourist can easily exchange their BTC.

I tried some ATM's in town, but I was required to have an American phone number for registration.

honestly, I would like to do the good and old P2P exchange with someone. any contact or place?

tks

I don't know how is it with NYC but in many countries to have regional phone number all you have to do is go to shop and buy pre-payed sim card (f.e. with pre-loaded 5$) and use it without kyc. So maybe the easiest way would be to get US phone number and use it with ATMs.

In Russia, this is one of the best services. Look here for a list of payment systems whose cards you have or register with them and make a virtual bank card if possible.

You can also visit the currency exchange board, create a thread there about the exchange you want to do, probably you should see a buyer.

Be careful of scammers, only trust reputed accounts, never make a trade with someone given negative tag. Or best to just make use of reputed escrow service on this forum.

You can as well make use of decentralized exchange like https://localcryptos.com/ or https://hodlhodl.com/.

ShapeShift, BitQuick, LocalBitcoins.com, Paxful, and DameCoins.

These platforms gives access to buy Bitcoin without phone verification.
Better to check those platforms first before suggest it to anyone. ShapeShift, LocalBitcoins and Paxful need phone number verification when you create an account on their platform. BitQuick doesn't need account, but you still need phone verification. Only DameCoins doesn't have verification, but I'm not familiar and it seems less people using this, while we know P2P lack of liquidity.

Don't ever use ShapeShift, LocalBitcoins and Paxful, you may get trigger warning due to unmatched IPs and your phone number. Hodlhodl and localcryptos are good as above member already mention before.

As the above user suggested, P2P exchanges were the best for this. Have an account with BitQuick and DameCoins. This allow users to deposit fiat money via different methods like PayPal, bank transfers, and credit cards. These platforms gives access to buy Bitcoin without phone verification. Her it is possible to deposit other cryptocurrencies for buying bitcoin.
