    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    I heard you can vote and or course just get another passport. I’m told Argentina is the best passport in South America after Chile. But I couldn’t find any other benefits.

    Politics Elon Musk calls to invest in Argentina after meeting up with Milei in LA

    Yes it sounds like over a billion dollars has already been pledged from various foreign companies that are starting to invest in Argentina. Today I read about Milei getting rid of laws making it more difficult for foreigners to sell real estate there. Sounds like things keep improving for...

    Newcomer Have you ever felt discriminated against or treated unfairly just because you're a foreigner or tourist in Buenos Aires?

    My Venezuelan friend also had issues in Chile. She tried Santiago before BA and said it was tough but here no problems at all. I doubt Argentina will have issues at least for a while. I did read some comments on X about a police officer from the USA and some locals commented how they are...

    Politics Strong Message from the Archbishop of Buenos Aires Directed at Javier Milei

    It is shocking the amount or people living in poverty in Argentina but it’s been high for a while. The same goes on in the States with a big divide between politicians and people that are struggling. I think the issue in Argentina is that Milei thinks things are better than they really are.

    Interested to move to Buenos Aires from the US. Is $5k enough to live on?

    That is a fantastic salary to live a great life in Argentina. Most people there even in white collar jobs make less than that.

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    Great analysis. I have read many articles but I still don’t understand all the dynamics. I don’t think anyone knows for sure. Even Milei’s people seem surprised by the move.

    The Best & Worst Countries for Living Abroad (Expat survey)

    I happen to love Buenos Aires and Argentina in general but I do agree with some of these negatives people are mentioning. I also have some black friends that came down and they were freaked out there were so few black people here. I asked them if it took away from the experience and they...

    Well said. I hope Milei doesn’t take the USA side like with Israel and Ukraine and just stays out of the Taiwan dispute.

    Argentines are an angry society. Is it just me??

    I haven’t had any issues here and people are friendly to me. I do now and then see people blow up but that’s to be expected under the circumstances.

    BA bike guide

    That’s a good attitude. Very true about West Coast. I’ve experienced the same thing. Fortunately it is easy for bikers in California. I’m from Orange County and some are very entitled and even throw cans or bottles at you if they think you’re in their space.
