expats

I’ve heard many opinions on this, but the one that resonates with me the most is from some locals who believe that our arrival, as I include myself as a digital nomad here, has a negative impact on the economy, particularly on housing prices. I think the influx of remote workers earning in...

We all know digital nomads but have you ever met an expat in BA for some interesting reason? Any stories to tell? My one story would be an American I met here. He was gay and from an extremely wealthy but conservative and bigoted family. His family basically told him we will give you...

The 'Chorros' here will seemingly take any risks to brazenly rob people of their second hand android phones, even in broad daylight. Meanwhile you have a steady stream of tourists pouring out of WU with enormous stacks of cash. Everytime I leave WU I'm expecting someone to stick a pistol in my...

Approved by @earlyretirement Hey guys, Just thought I'd share this. If you're like me, you want to hear all about the events, news, and other interesting resources for expats. But going to a dozen Instagram pages, forums, Facebook groups, and other sites can be a hassle. That's why I...

I have been traveling around South America the past few months. I started out in Buenos Aires and visited Bariloche, Mendoza, Iguazu. All very different but beautiful. I visited Bogota and Medellin and Cali. I am in Rio now. All very different places and cheaper than the USA. I am curious...

Seems nicer... can't believe I spent four years in Argentina and didn't come here earlier.

Following their dreams down to BA - US expats remake their lives - The Boston Globe By Irin Carmon, Globe Correspondent, September 26, 2004 BUENOS AIRES -- In a previous life, Jason Rosado wore suits, shook hands, and climbed the management training ladder. Playing by the rules eventually got...

Not sure if this article from 2013 has already surfaced here. I would be classified under type number 6, even though I haven't posted in my Tango blog in over a year. http://www.argentinaindependent.com/life-style/expat-life-style/know-your-ba-expats/

Hi An American friend of mine tells me there are a number of expats leaving.....I know things are'nt perfect but... 1. Is it true 2. Why Best

Lot's of interesting conversation came out about apartment prices on this forum last week, and it got me thinking: What are the best barrios for expats? Let's leave out Palermo because everyone on this forum seems to agree that it's overpriced and overrun with tourists... But what are best...

I’ll just leave this here and then show myself out. The amount of nonsense and vitriol I’m expecting is past the roof. In June, I asked what I thought was an innocent question: “What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?” I got many great responses, but I also got idiotic responses that don’t...

I've been reading a lot about this the last couple of months It means other countries are no longer using US dollars to trade with each other, for example China and Russia and using Yuan and Ruble, etc. Even Saudi Arabia is trading with China in their respective currencies. I just read this...

Since @Larry keeps saying the sky is falling and prices are already at the prices of the USA and Europe I was thinking for those that are staying, are you going to get a side gig? Most of the expats here seem on the older side. I read many saying they are getting pensions or social security...

Certainly, obtaining information on educational laws and procedures in Argentina is important. Here's an overview of the situation: In Argentina, the Ministry of Education is responsible for overseeing educational policies. However, education is mainly managed at the provincial level, so there...

I read one of @StatusNomadicus posts. He is an expat and I read how he wishes there were more guns in Argentina. I never heard or read anyone that expressed that interest. It got me thinking. Do any of you expats here or even locals own a firearm in your house? Do you expats wish you could...

I love foreigners and expats. I am amazed you love my country, Argentina so much. My friend date American guy and he cheat on her so she have bad experience but now she is not so happy with expats. She and I have argument. She says that most expats here are losers in their country and can't...

Just a warning to all foreigners and expats. Bullrich has openly stated if you are a foreigner and you participate in the protests you will be reported to Immigration Services. And you can bet your sweet ass you will not be allowed to enter Argentina for 4 years. Bullrich has affirmed that a...

In 2001, during the economic crisis, factors such as Airbnb and the digital nomad trend, where individuals earn in dollars benefiting from exchange rates, were not as prevalent. Over the 15 years of visiting Buenos Aires, there's a perceived change in sentiment, particularly in San Telmo, with...

I saw this video and it may help some expats moving to Buenos Aires or anywhere else. Enjoy! https://journeyamerica.wordpress.com/2023/12/11/expat-essentials-your-guide-to-successful-relocation-video/

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-12/argentina-s-46-stock-rout-second-biggest-in-past-70-years What is happening in Argentina now is just a harbinger for a much worse scenario in the coming year . I do not believe that most expats realise how bad it will get there in Buenos Aires...
