What do people like (and dislike) about Argentina?

"Argentines are lovely people but they are mercilessly exploited by the people they elect to govern them. If you can stay away from politics, life for an expat - especially when married to a local - is very good. There is a very rich literary, artistic and theatre culture which most other cities elsewhere would envy - bar London and New York, of course. I am retired and married to a local so most of the bureaucratic problems wash over me but if you have to earn a living here, the tax and employment legislation can be a nightmare. My advice to an individual, coming on their own would be to do their homework very thoroughly indeed. Someone coming to work for a local corporation should be very sure of exactly what they are coming into and should ask for practical help in getting started with accommodation etc etc. Someone coming to work for the multinational company that already employs them elsewhere should insist that the company sets things up for them from the get-go. So much time and frustation in finding out the local way of doing things is the ONLY way of doing things can be avoided by planning and preparation - and if you can get somebody already on the ground to do that for you so much the better," commented one expat who made the move to Buenos Aires , Argentina.

"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the affordability of living in Argentina, as well as the vibrant culture and friendly people. They also enjoy the country's diverse landscapes, from the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic coast. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the bureaucracy and paperwork involved in living in Argentina to be a challenge. Additionally, the country's infrastructure can be unreliable at times, making it difficult to get around," remarked another expat in Argentina.
