Looking for opinions on Argentina. I am looking at options for living long term part time (5.5 months) away from Canada. With the possibility of making a permanent move in the future. Background: Retired CAF with a substantial retirement combined with injury pension. Would just be me and my teenage son travelling.Funding wise, I clear approx $6000 USD/month after taxes.What's the internet access like in the rural areas?I plan on renting a car for mobility as I hate public transport.What's the best places for rural living where I can enjoy the Gaucho culture?Are there any places I might be priced out of living?Thanks
>>2876976Come to Jujuy
>>2876976go there and get robbed fat dumb boomer faggit
>>2876976i dont recommend a permament residence there, taxes are absurd (so keep your canadian fiscal residence ).Uruguay also has rural areas and the taxes are cheaper, i recommend it (plus they have programs just for your situation).Argentina is big so a car is a mist but every car there is rather expensive due to taxes, renting a car is not cheap in the long run.Going back to your question, Argentina has Starlink so get that, the gaucho lifestyle is associated with living in the middle of the country (places like Cordoba, La Pampa or Santa Fe) though i reccomend the south (like Neuquen).You will get priced out of living in dense metropolitan areas like Buenos Aires but its not what you're looking for.Still, I recommend Uruguay (maybe even southern Brazil) but if you're dead set, knock yourself out (talk to an accountant so you dont get scalped through taxes).
That's a lot of money to live here. As for gaucho lifestyle you also have Corrientes, and a bit less Entre Rios, both are humid a kind of hot places. Buenos Aires tooDo you have some climate or geography preference? This country is really big and diverse
>>2876976>What's the internet access like in the rural areas?Get Starlink and you won't have to deal with any issues.>Are there any places I might be priced out of living?I was kind of shocked at how expensive Buenos Aires was. I mean, the average wage there is only about $350/month. Food is 20% higher than in the U.S. (and I don't mean "at a fancy restaurant", I mean grocery stores and Wendy's). Rentals, I don't have a good handle on them because "tourist price" but even a cheap hotel was $55/night (and the more expensive hotels didn't offer anything better to make them worth higher prices).Mar del Plata is supposed to be nice if you want ocean.If you need to cash out any Bitcoin, I only found a single currency exchange that would do it for me. A few places handled USDT on the TRON chain (TRC20).>>2877016The place felt pretty safe to me, but then again, I stayed in the nice part of BA.
>>2877198>stay in the bubble and pay USA prices to live in the third world>leave the bubble and look stupid and get robbed
>>2876976What's the internet access like in the rural areas?starlinkI plan on renting a car for mobility as I hate public transport.ok but in BA public transport is betterWhat's the best places for rural living where I can enjoy the Gaucho culture?South if u wanna be alone, Entre Rios if u want populated rural areaAre there any places I might be priced out of living?Palermo, Belgrano, Recoleta, San Telmo.Bariloche.6000 is stupid money to live, i use 1300 monthly and i spend a lot on bullshit>>2877198get out of tourist traps and youll see how cheaper it getsFUCK mar del plata its literally a shithole, go to pinamar if u want a good beachthere are a lot of exchange houses that will take your usd or your crypto and give u a good ammount of money
I was just there on holiday so take my limited view. Buenos Aires is a very cool party city but not really cheap. If you have a child then perhaps you won't take advantage of that anyway. Do you speak Spanish? You better if want to have a great time. I loved BA and Patagonia for a holiday. I have heard of people doing the digital nomad thing in BA. For living there I reckon you would really need to embrace the lifestyle and learning Spanish. The rest you could overcome easily.
>>2877678>there are a lot of exchange houses that will take your usd or your crypto and give u a good ammount of moneyPractically none of them take "crypto". The few who do almost all only take USDT-TRON. I only found one willing to take Bitcorn (their sign also indicated Ethereum was allowable but I didn't try it). I didn't find any willing to take anything else.
>>2879473>their signI think you need to talk to people to find an unofficial exchange, aka cava, that deals with crypto, but I still wouldn't expect them to trade much other than btc/eth
I'm Argentinan my mom says but I'll never go there
>>2877041>You will get priced out of living in dense metropolitan areas like Buenos Aires but its not what you're looking for.Why do you fucking underage kids come here and just post blatant disinfo? His income is 6k a month. You can live upper class lifestyle in Buenos Aires for 2k a month.
>>2879475>I think you need to talk to people to find an unofficial exchange, aka cava, that deals with crypto, but I still wouldn't expect them to trade much other than btc/ethWhat the fuck do you think the places I went to were? It's "cueva" by the way. These businesses are all out in the open, it's not like they're hiding underground to avoid being arrested by the government.I'm just going to reiterate: hardly any of them take anything other than USDT-TRON, literally the only one I found is one a few blocks from Plaza Serrano. I should also note that only one of their employees understood enough about Bitcoin to handle a transaction. It was kind of hilarious trying to get the others to understand that, no, the bitcoin address on their exchange that I had to send the BTC to was not, in fact, supposed to be a deeply-held secret that they should hide from me.I hope this doesn't get them swarmed with shitcoiners or assholes:Pagolinea, Cabrera 5001, BA, AR 54 9 11 7634-9233>>2879496Sad, it's a nice place. They're not going to gulag you for being a dual citizen. (You're not an illegal alien hiding out in the U.S., are you?)
>>2876976well with that sort of income you can live wherever you want, you can find Gaucho culture by just going to the interior of Buenos Aires, the province is huge and full with little towns of 10K-50K people. But honestly once you settle over here just get a pickup truck and travel everywhere. La pampa, the south, the patagonia, everything is really beautiful and pretty safe. The only dangerous zone is just the conurbano and some ugly neighborhoods in the capital
>>2883014>The only dangerous zone is just the conurbanoWhat and where is that?
>>2883060It's the metropolitan area around Buenos Aires. Some parts are nice, some are absolute shitholes.
>>2883222Thanks! Also, nice trips.
>>2877198Argentina has become drastically pricier as a tourist destination under the new president, who is Jewing everything to the max. The old hack of using black-market exchange rates to get everything for dirt cheap is history. You missed the gravy train. So did I. It sucks, but what can you do.
>>2883431I didn't really care about the price since I'm a rich Amerifat, I was more concerned that the locals can't even afford to eat. I've read that the average wage there is something like $600/month (but that's only for official jobs, and a lot of people only have "informal work"), yet groceries and even fast food were 20% higher prices than in the U.S.
>>2883431argentina was always an expensive destination because of how far it is from everywhere else
>>2883490It used to be cheap to live a decent life here
>>2877041>i dont recommend a permament residence there>>2877066>That's a lot of money to live hereAnons sorry if it's not exactly the right board, but I guess closest to discussing my problem. I want to get another citizenship, because generally boomers at power in eurofag countries went crazy about military conscription. No need for lifelong residence, but the plan is to get whatever citizenship I can, so atl I can flash a foreign passport at the border, if shit hits the fan. And Argentina requires only 2 years iirc? I have BSc Biology, and I'm doing Linux certification for helpdesk/sysadmin in IT as backup skill, and now both academia and industry have taken a nosedive. Not fun. If it cames to that I also drove forklifts and such but ig nobody needs imigrants for that kind of minimal wage jobs... Unlike in OP's situation, it's important that one of requirements for citizenship is ability to hold employment, so any neetbux I might have won't help me there. But if you say main cities are expensive to live.. do you think moving for 2 years and looking for jobs relevant to my experience would make any sense?
>>2883790they don't even have enough jobs for argentinians. the chances they will have a job for you is minimal. as always the best route is to marry some old slut.
>>2883790>And Argentina requires only 2 years iirc?Looks like it, they must have lowered it since the last time I checked (I'm sure it used to be three years).>>2883790>do you think moving for 2 years and looking for jobs relevant to my experience would make any sense?Just jobhunting while living off savings? I don't know if you could get a resident visa for that. Maybe study in one of their universities? Or maybe you could get a remote job doing some sort of customer service job, especially if you're fluent in multiple languages. Last time I stayed in a motel in the U.S., the Poo running the place just sat behind a counter doing nothing while everyone was forced to check in using a video kiosk; the kiosk had some white guy on the screen doing everything remotely. Apparently it's one of those on-demand things where the wagie gets bombarded with guest check-ins and has zero downtime. On the plus side, the Poo was far enough away that we could barely notice his smell.
>>2883790>And Argentina requires only 2 years iirc?That is 2 years of not leaving the country at all or the clock resets, and I think they're changing it to where you actually need a valid visa those 2 years, not just showing up and overstaying indefinitely. It's still a good country to flee to if necessary though, because you'll never, ever get deported if you aren't a muslim terrorist or real infamous criminal asshole
