Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. It is also important to understand the healthcare system and the availability of medical services. Finally, expats should research the visa requirements and make sure they have the necessary documents to stay in the country," said a member in Buenos Aires , Argentina.

"Make sure you have a stable income in the currency of your home country. If you are from the US or Europe, your money will go far. You can eat out everyday affordably. The city has a lot of offer in terms of culture and it is a wonderful "walking town". Great architecture. There is always something to do. The neighborhood of Palermo Soho is fantastic with a mix of people, tons of restaurants, parks, and shopping. This city has a very European feel at a budget price," remarked another expat who made the move to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
