The main problem in terms of sending money in and out of the country is that the government sets an exchange rate that's between 7 and 30 % of the street rate. Yes, the government sets a totally different rate for different types of transactions.
For Bitcoin, some people are receiving it from abroad as remissions, and then they sell it either in person or through an automated bot on telegram. They have a fairly active group of about 800 members.
