Life in Argentina: Comfort and Opportunities

Argentina is a country that is perfectly suited for remote workers. Many people choose this destination because of the low cost of living, developed infrastructure, and cultural events. Mark Shane, who has been living in Buenos Aires with his family for a whole year, claims that it is the best choice for those who want to live a comfortable and interesting life.

A tolerant and progressive environment

Argentina is known for its tolerant and progressive environment, making it attractive for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This country also offers many opportunities for starting a business and leading an active social life.

Standard of living and real estate market

To live in Buenos Aires, a single person needs to earn about 1000 dollars a month. For example, milk costs around 0.7 dollars, a dozen eggs - 1 dollar, beef - 3-5 dollars per kilogram, cheese - 2.5 dollars per kilogram, and a bottle of table wine will cost 1-2 dollars.

Real Estate:In Argentina, real estate is hardly traded; transactions are conducted only in dollars. The starting prices for a one-bedroom apartment in a new building in the capital begin at 80-100 thousand dollars.
Rental:The rental market is overheated, so many people prefer to live in the suburbs where housing prices are lower.

Conclusion

Overall, Argentina is a wonderful place to live and work, especially if you work remotely. This country offers a rich experience that will be interesting to anyone who decides to settle here.

Life in Argentina

Life in Argentina has its pros and cons. One of the main drawbacks is the economic instability, which periodically leads to political upheavals. Over the last century, Argentina has experienced 9 defaults and 4 military coups, which affects the stability of the banking system. As a result, people are increasingly turning to the use of cryptocurrency and earning income in dollars, bypassing the local financial system. Another downside is the poor state of infrastructure, particularly noticeable in the degradation of railways over the past 30 years.

Pros and cons

Public transportation:Well developed in the capital.
Russian-speaking community:Actively engages with local authorities.
Medicine:At a high level, childbirth costs less than in other Latin American countries.

Advantages of obtaining citizenship

Pregnancy and childbirth can help in legalizing one's stay in the country, and obtaining an Argentine passport opens up free access to 156 countries without the need for a visa and simplifies the visa application process for the USA. The architecture of Buenos Aires resembles "old Europe" and captivates with its colonial buildings, attracting the attention of many filmmakers. Strolling through the city center feels like traveling through beautiful historic streets, transporting you to another era.

Conclusion:

After spending a year in Argentina, I realized that the country is perfect for remote work, thanks to its accessibility, cultural heritage, and tolerant environment. However, one should consider the economic instability, weak infrastructure, and challenges in the banking sector. Despite this, a significant advantage is the Russian-speaking community and attractive conditions for ancestral tourism. Life here is a unique blend of challenges and benefits, creating the distinctive character of this amazing country.
