@@godemperadorlgabrielaquino Yo soy liberal (en el buen sentido, no la mierda woke de Comi-Fornia) y también soy Argentino, gracias a Milei descubrí una corriente de pensamiento totalmente nueva, para alguien q se pasó la vida rodeado de zurdos, me leí desde Ayn Rand a Hans Herman Hope pasando por Axel Kaiser, llegando a los estoicos y a los bitcoiners, obviamente. Eternamente agradecido al peluca que nos mostró el camino, pero el bastión de la libertad no es Argentina, uno de los países con el IVA más alto del mundo, con tasas de importación astronómicas para "pRoTegEr a lA iNduStrIa nAciOaL", un país en el que si tenés un departamento o inversiones afuera de Argentina los burócratas de turno demandan su tajada, un país donde te cobran impuestos hasta por trabajar! Y un graaaan etcetera... Hay demasiados parásitos en Arg. viviendo de la gente útil como para hablar de "bastión de la libertad", no seas ridículo, los Argentinos que viven de su trabajo no son libres, siguen siendo sometidos por la clase política y sus soldaditos empleados estatales. Que hayan dado 1 paso en la dirección correcta no significa que estén remotamente cerca de llegar al destino. Saludos
I visited Argentina for a month and it’s very lovely. There are a couple things you should know before going: 1) winters are pretty cold 2) You should learn Spanish cause people is super friendly and you don’t want to miss that
I lived in Argentina last summer and it was awesome. I got a newly renovated apartment in the best part of Buenos Aires for $600 a month and was told that if I extended the price would drop to $450. My USD were worth a fortune in Argentina and I could enjoy steak and wine every night for $10! The people were friendly and it was a fun place to be. Later I spent a month in Mendoza and you could walk into a hypermarket (similar to WalMart) and the steak cuts were out of this world. Like a 1 kg steak for $5 and some of the best steak in the world. The wine selection was massive, delicious and cheap! Just get used to carrying a wad of cash with you and only take out what you need for a week - because anything left over will be worth 10% less the following week due to hyperinflation.
Argentina now is not as cheap in dollar terms as you mentioned . Inflation in the last 5 months was up 60% and the exchange rate between the dollar and the peso didn"t change . Anyway is still cheap to go out for dinner or lunch compare to US .
Hi @@BrianBaileyedtech the blue dolar in December 2023 was 1025 and now is 1265 is a 23% appreciation of the dollar against the peso . Meanwhile inflation in the same period has been 65%

Vamos Argentina I will move to Argentina back finallly I’m Argentinian American citizen so now is fire 🔥 good opportunity to go back to such a beautiful country and culture
I'm a US citizen living in Argentina and going through the naturalization process and I can confirm that as a foreigner the general sentiment is, don't be a bother and they won't bother you. Very affordable place to live with amazing people, great diversity both in culture and landscape and a strong passport. It's definitely not for everyone and you need to be very, very patient if you want residency and citizenship but with a good lawyer, it's a relatively smooth process.
How long has the process taken you? My family and I are deciding between pursuing Argentinian Citizenship or Chilean Citizenship. Chile can take up to 10 years to actually receive the passport.
@@DanielMurreythe process from day 1 of moving to Argentina and applying for a residency visa to the day you have citizenship and the passport in hand is an optimistic minimum of 3 years but more likely 4. I’ve been in the citizenship process for a year and my lawyer told me today I can expect another year. Plus Milei isn’t exactly pro-immigrant so there’s rumors that the timelines will change. Not trying to scare you off of Argentina but I would say it’s much more worth it to choose the country that fits you best rather than the one that’s supposedly the fastest.
@@DanielMurreytwo years residence in Argentina is the legal requirement for applying for citizenship. It can take a few months to process the paperwork but it shouldn't take you more than 3 years to become an Argentinian. 99% of Argentinians we are immigrant descendants and it's a constitutional right to live in Argentina for anyone in the world no matter where they are from. Feel welcome if you want to move here 😀
A few months ago most young Argentinian were thinking about leaving the country. Now people want to come here. It's really amazing how just a good administración can change so much a country in so little time
AFromant 65 we still watching mileill..we still waiting the big changes……dont get comfused….the comgress mayority is from the left and is very difficlutl to,dea l with them

Other, if you are a foreigner, Argentinians will treat you amazingly. Also good level of english and have western values. Buenos Aires is the city with more bookstores per capita in the world.
@@billstrasburg384Do you really to became serious Catholic? If you want the better place is Peru Lima, Argentina is the most progresive country in all latin and Iberian Americ! I just love Peru so much and also Argentina but we have a religon and a cultral problems there now…
There are many beautiful cities besides CABA (Buenos Aires). Cordoba Capital: One of the largest cities in Argentina. People are very friendly, and many young people from all over the country move there to study. There are many green spaces. There isn’t as much traffic as in Buenos Aires, the public transportation works very well, and the hospitals are excellent. Mendoza: A very warm city, the cleanest and most organized I've visited in all of Argentina. The summer is fabulous; unlike Córdoba or Buenos Aires, the heat here is dry, with not a drop of sweat. A great variety of excellent wines at unbeatable prices. The surrounding landscape is incredible, with vineyards just minutes from the city, lakes, and mountains. It often snows in winter :) Bariloche: It's a lovely city. The main advantage, in my opinion, is that you are surrounded by some of the best landscapes in all of Argentina. Lake Nahuel Huapi, the hills, rivers, etc. It's the most beautiful I've seen in Argentina. It also snows in winter.
I'm an Argentinian who moved to the US 11 years ago due to the economic inestability and the social issues that generates. As a libertarian, I hope President Milei will be able to improve the vicious circle of corruption, poverty, instability and insecurity. However, after 80 years of socialism/peronism, it will take some years to get back from all that misery. I really hope he and his team succeed. Young Argentinians deserve to have a better future, considering how a great country Argentina is.
We retired 18 months ago and have lived in Nicaragua and Guatemala since retiring. We think our next stop is Argentina for many reasons. We love Milei, cost of living is fairly low, we speak Spanish, quality of life seems high, and because it is a large country you can find whatever is right for you…beach, mountains, hot weather or cold, big city, small town, rural area, whatever floats your boat. We hope to spend at least a couple months in each place- BA, Bariloche, Mar Del Plata, Mendoza, Salta, and Ushuaia. We prefer cooler weather and medium size cities so we may end up in Salta ? We think we can live a comfy middle class life for $1500-$2000/month.
My wife is originally from Nicaragua. The people are wonderful but it is very poor and you have to enjoy hot weather, which we don’t. Guatemala, at least in Xela where we live, is very nice. Highs about 70, lows 45-50, friendly people, low costs ( without budgeting we spend about $1200/month total ), safe…we really like it. We still plan to go to Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Argentina and maybe other countries…but we could be happy returning here unless we find something better.
Yes, and if you find info on Guatemala it is mostly Antigua and Lake Atitlan, which if you like lots of tourists around are wonderful but not really our thing. Check out our videos if you have an interest in Xela.
Best decision in my life moving to Argentina from Switzerland 40 years ago. Second best decision buy cryptos to defend myself not only against peso depreciation but also against the dollar one. Never a dull moment here Greetings from Mar del Plata 🇦🇷 Ricardo.
People think that owning property in Argentina means paying loads of taxes but that just isn’t true. I pay absolutely no tax on my 2 acre homestead and it’s completely legal. There are loads of exceptions and protections you can stack. In every other country where I lived I had to pay a lot of property taxes but here all I have to do is submit an online form and send some documents every two years. And it’s all perfectly legal and above board.
Hello I currently live in United States but looking to buy a home as well how could I do it? At the moment I’m in Buenos Aires for vacation and looking for info
@@N-vp9el Make sure the home has a proper title “titulo” and “ficha parcelaria”. Many properties are sold without proper paperwork, just signing the sale at a notary (Escribano) is not enough, make sure the seller is actually the title holder of the property, sometimes people will try to sell you “derechos posesorios” which are like squatting rights where in theory you can claim true ownership after 20 years if unchallenged but that’s a gamble, other times the property is still in their grandparent’s name and they never did the change and they are selling you inheritance rights. Avoid those. Once you have bought a legit property with a proper title you can request tax exemptions if you meet certain criteria. If your property is off grid and doesn’t benefit from municipal services like water and electricity you pay no municipal taxes. If it is your main residence you can have it certified as “Vivienda Unica” by an escribano which should give you a 50% discount on provincial property taxes, not having access to public utilities gives you a further discount. If you have any kind of disability you can get a 100% tax discount right away as long as your disability is certified by the government and you have a CUD or Certificado Unico de Discapacidad (Disability Certificate). Basically there are tons of options to legally pay no or almost no taxes on your property.
I asked several times too. Thanks for doubling down. I think the delay was them doing more homework.. and I’ll bet you they will continue their evaluations !!
Argentina will not tax your global income if you do not reside in the country 6 months a year. So there really is no need to resign your Argentine citizenship. You can have it along with other citizenships should you desired so.
Moving to Argentina because of President Milei and especially his speech in Davos . It was a Masterclass that marked the end of Agenda 2030 . His libertarian ideas are changing Argentina for the better. 🇦🇷 Long Live Freedom! 1 Maccabees 3:19 VLLC !❤
@@randall8379 Yes, poverty was invented by evil Milei, all those villas and negros cabeza just popped out of nowhere the minute he won the elections... 🤣
My radar too. Purely because of Javier Milei and his proclivity for anarcho capitalism . Freedom . What about ElSalvador ? I’ll call you when I win the lottery big time .
While it's winter in Europe or North America Buenos Aires is a fantastic place to visit. There's lot's of ambitious entrepreneur-type people there, lots of fun things to do and an abundance of beautiful women
Buenos Aires is fun for 3 days, but after that it's a kinda dull city imo.. even though Brazil may not be politically better ATM, it's more developed than Argentina and Rio de Janeiro is so beautiful
@@perrykomick9478 Buenos Aires has more Entertainment than New York, London and París at the same Time, bz BA has more thestres, cinemas, "discos", bar and so on than those three city's combinatrd. Even BA has the best acustic Opera House in the Word and Is the city with most libraries in the hole Word! But clearly you are more an "Bud Bunny" kind of tourist.....
@@synewparadigm it's a messy, crowded place, with all downsides of the big city, too much traffic, too hot in the summer, moisture that in a winter is terrible.
I spent 1 month in Buenos Aires: - Great art vibe, musician culture - Good subway actually - Low quality groceries surprisingly - Wonderful nightlife, dinners - Very little green areas in the city, too busy - At night, not very pleasant - Sometimes if you wanted to get cash at a western union they said "oh sorry, no money today" Long lines
I wouldn't say that our subway is actually good, but certainly public transport is better than in America. I agree with the rest. There are good green areas but most of them are outside the city.
Countries in the Americas are like the Pokemon evolutions of European countries: the US is the evolution of the UK and Canada the shiny one, Mexico is the evolution of Spain, Argentina is the evolution of Italy, Brazil is the evolution of Portugal, and Haiti is the evolution of France
Not really.For example Argentina is much closer to Spain than Mexico. Of course Spain and Italy are much closer to each other because they are southern European catholic cultures. So, in America you have European Protestant countries US and Canada, European catholic such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and mostly Native American cultures such as the rest of the continent. Brazil is an afro-Portuguese-native mix. Mexico and Spain have similar language but quite distinct cultures, as Mexico has a very proudly native American rooted culture.
Some want to live in Argentina, others want to leave Argentina. That changes every couple of years, or even less. Born and raised argento, so I know what I'm talking about.
Argentina is like a very attractive, very irrational woman, it can drive you insane both ways... Some days you want to kill her, other days you are totally crazy for her...
Can you do a vid where you compare Argentina to Uraguay please. Also can you do one on Aruba. Thank you love your content looking at consulting with you soon!
I’ll tell u - Uruguay now is more expensive. There used to be nothing happening there. It’s boring but ithats why I love it! Gorgeous country side - prob safer to buy a property in the country than in Argentina but do get guard dogs and some big guns anyway lol. I’d rather live in BA and have long vacations in the summer in Maldonado/ Rocha or a short escape to Colonia for a day or weekend.
Uruguay is where you go when you’re 80-85. They call it the land of white heads bcos everyone is old and has white hair! It’s actually a nice place but you definitely need to wait until you stay home a lot. Punta del Este is greatly overrated .
Thanks for this video! So far it's excellent! Just some things to point out: - Banking is hard rn, it's true. But it's getting easier and easier. Restrictions are being removed step by step. In a couple of years, it will be very easy to open a bank account on any currency there. - Taxation is high, but will also be reduced drastically in the next years, if the new president wins also the legislative elections. - I don't see the disadvantage on not being able to renounce the citizenship once you get naturalized or in your eventual kids' case. It's actually an advantage because if your kids or you want to get the citizenship from (for example) Austria or Estonia.. they can get it and still keep the Argentinean citizenship. It will also not bring you issues at all if you're out of the country. Remember that it's a very safe country in terms of geopolitics, being far away from any conflict.
i think you cant never renounce to Argentinian citizenship, if a country like Japan wants you to renouce for incompatibility issues the Embassy would issue a paper that says yo do but you actually keep all your rights, its kinda like a "wink" just to please the country that wants exclusive citizenship
I've been coming down here for 10+ years. Unfortunetly, influecer bros and influecer valley girls have changed palermo (biggest neighborhood in BA) a tourist trap. Once unique hip porteno social venues have turned into touristy american/canadian style coffee shops and asian-american hibachi grill restaurants. I wish they stayed in Colombia.
Interesting take, but BA is massive, there are many other areas to live and hang out if Palermo lost its local authentic feel....the issue is that most expats want to be there.....(-;
palermo has being wrecked for ages. san telmo going close to barracas is still tourist friendly and waaay more enchanting. or saavedra. also, vicente lopez and san isidro are the best if you dare to move 15min away from the capital city
Vomit material category. If people (at least enlightened, aware ones) wanted that then they could just go to America or Canada, etc, and sushi/Hibachi in Japan/Korea. The influencer and air b&b have become a disease and thankfully have peaked.
I love Argentina, it is cold at this season, I hate endless summers and skiing in Patagonia is great, plus the scenery and the wilderness are simply on par as north america, similar scenery as Colorado and Alberta but with lower regulations. My main concern is, if I set up a base in Argentina, despite only spending a few months there a year. If I get a citizenship and property there, only have Argentina as a lifestyle option, do the tax authority in Argentina have the ability and the will to enforce their tax laws on me somehow? This is the power many western countries absolutely have, they will chase you down to make you pay or comply with their regulations. I know this kind of strict tax enforcement is not really a thing in many developing countries, especially for us who make money with online business internationally. I'm just curious if Argentina would have this type of enforcement power to chase my offshore business, as a naturalized citizen who spends only a few months there each year. And have no local job or business except for a property.
Don´t worry, a lot of Argentinians have high amount of millions of dollars in "negro" out of the system and the consequences are nothing, the country have a cultural behavior about evade taxes and hold the dollars in the house´s because the high pressure of the state since 1945 aproximately, 60-70% of the companies is operating 50% in "negro" and 50% in legal at the same time, you only will should declare the minimum and care with you movement´s for don´t call the atention of the Afip taxes services and all will be fine 👍
Tax evasion is illegal in all countries. In Argentina it is very easy to evade taxes because there are few controls. I don't know what will happen in the future. I think it would be good for countries to have very low taxes and for people to have no need to evade them. , the new president has the idea of lowering taxes until they are at a minimum.
Argentina has high inflation and massive currency devaluations. Bring lots of United States cash and exchange for the blue note rate. Beware that atm fees are double digit of the amount withdrawn. Blue note rate much better bank exchange rate. Just a heads up
I lived there for 10 yrs it’s amazing if u do not depend on their economy. Hopefully things will improve but it can change quickly so cuidado before ever investing heavily. Don’t think u as a yanqui are gonna go buy affordable land in the country without getting robbed. Maybe u won’t but u will stick out like a sore thumb- don’t get seduced by the real estate prices. You better really want it to put up with what you’ll put up with… probably a few shake downs too! Other than that have fun it’s lovely and a great culture! It’s a good place to live… affordable private medical and dental care.
@@grant5059 well it’s been 8 yrs but private insurance prob $150/ mo which covered most things at the hospital of ur choice. I didn’t get it and just paid for tests when needed and they were not expensive. Usually under $100 for X-rays etc. cavity might be 50 usd. Maybe? Vet care was cheap but this will all change if Milei attracts more investment which will make it more expensive. Maybe someone living there now can pipe up.
que vengas de vacaciones y veas como es todo, que veas también que negocio puedes emprender , y si te gusta el lugar donde vas a vivir cerca de la universidad. o buscar en RUclips que hay muchos videos que se titulan - UN YANKEE EN BUENOS AIRES O ARGENTINA, muchos de ellos vinieron por estudios pero no quisieron irse y se quedaron a vivir definitivamente
As an argentinian. I don't recommend it. It is too volatile. You can't know how much things will cost. Last year we were super cheap. Now we are super expensive. Imagine i would invest before I move here if i didn't have my family here
Congrats on your videos, I thoroughly enjoy them and have learned quite a bit from them. Regarding Argentina, I wold be very hesitant to invest/move there. You mentioned the tax issue which in itself is enough to dissuade any move there. However, also to. be considered is the reality of crime, unions, corruption, social unrest, bureaucracy, and political upheaval. I would wait to see how Milei pans out. When Macri was elected I had great hopes for the country. Not only was his presidency a bust, but I also lost a great deal of money due to his inability to carry out necessary reforms. Milei may run into the same problem, regardless of his charisma and will to enact change. After all, it IS Argentina with is complicated history and the ever-present, coup loving Peronists forever lurking. Even as a tourist, you will find it a very expensive country today in US dollar terms. Best to live in Uruguay and visit, but always mindful of the time spent in Argentina. I look forward to more of your videos! Best regards!
I lived 34 years in Argentina. Before moving back there I would give it at least a couple of years, safety and economy being my top concerns there. I do think the current government is taking the right measures, but it might take a bit to sink in. I saw someone saying in the comments that the dollar goes far in Argentina, yes that was before! Supermarkets now are as expensive as in Sweden, and all prices (including rent) are recovering from years of being artificially controlled by the government. I hope it's in the top of the list in a couple of years!
Spent 2months living in Argentina and working remotely online a couple of years ago. Was there in February and March which is there summer months. Stayed in Buenos Aires, Rosario sante Fe and Cordoba. Delicious food and very comfortable country to be in. But that money situation and having to go to western union every week go so tiring and frustrating. 😅. Having a bunch of paper cash is annoying too. But everything is so much more cheaper with cash. Never use ATMs or pay with cards. I think Id go back one day just not anytime soon. I actually really enjoyed nearby Montevideo Uruguay a bit more. But the steak 🥩 is not as delicious lol
ahora hay billetes de 10.000 y 2.000, 20.000 . antes el billete de más valor era de 1.000 hoy 15-8-24 = El dólar blue operó a $1330 para la compra y a $1350 para la venta en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. El dólar mayorista cerró a $941,50. Así, la brecha entre el blue y el mayorista se ubicó en 43,39%.
In Argentina, not all types of immigration are encouraged, but only those that are beneficial to the country. Nowadays, with the reductions to the state and all those that will come over time, state aid to foreigners will gradually come to an end
A key bill for Argentina, the Bases Law, is being voted on today. If approved (as expected), it will bring about major changes and many opportunities in the energy sector with the new regime for large investments (RIGI). It is also widely rumored that there will be a major investment in the technology sector as well.
What former glory???? Massive unemployment, social unrest, 60% poverty, brutal repression, increasing homelessness, U.S. pricing on everything, but miserable argentinian salary, erosion of all safety nets, crime and violence on the rise, rampant national debt, 300 to 500 % increase in utility prices, businesses collapsing far and right every single day, malnutrition, an eroding middle class and a president that has hitched his star to a visibly declining western "values". Is that the glory you're talking about??? 🤦♀️🤭 But of course, as long as it is cheap for foreigners 😢 I know what I'm talking about. I Am argentinian.
@@marilucorracini550 The welfare state always collapses. Correcting that is going to hurt for a while as millions on the dole will be forced to work for a living. The root problem was greed on the part of the leaders, in conjunction with Zionist world banking schemes to fiat paper our buying power into worthlessness. Things WILL get better as long as the country stays on this new course. You have to get rid of the welfare so you can have a healthy economy. The transition is gonna hurt, but you have a good leader who loves his country and wants to do the right thing, even if the idiot masses are unfavorable to it.
@@nomadcapitalistdefine brief. You can't spend more than 90 days continuously in the country, otherwise you become a tax resident and you get worldwide taxation.
Arg here. Thx for your video. Please, consider arg is a big and diverse country. Its not the same Buenos Aires than Salta or Ushuaia or some other plce in Patagonia. Also: bear in mind local taxes!
I want that toucan lamp! I'm moving to Argentina in January. Going to scout out various cities in Sept. Millei is going to bring Argentina beyond where the US is because he is cutting spending while we are increasing spending increasing debt. Millei is an exceptionally qualified economist. You have to get a bank account for the rentista visa and deposit 2k per month in AR bank. I'm concerned Argentina will become a target for FARC terrorists. I'm certain Millei will deal with it if he wants foreign investors. I read guns smugglers were just arrested in Mendoza.
Argentina will be the richest country in the world in the next 20 years, beating all previous growth world records. Just sit and watch. I'm moving my company from USA to Argentina as soon as they change the laws. It's aiming to be the freest country in the world and more and has amazing human resources from the inheritance of having been the richest country in the world 120 years ago. It's not only Milei, the whole culture changed. Argentina is the way to go.
I watched a video from a real estate investor in Argentina explaining the process of buying property as a foreigner in the country which is by and large the same as citizens, but the one thing he was clear about is mortgages do not exist as a product in Argentina and most purchase contracts are quoted in USD because of the inflation in Argentina and it has been this way since the 1970s. Loans in Argentinian Pesos don't sound like they happen much.
Switzerland is no more. They capitulated completely. Uruguay is tax friendly but secrecy is not part of the repetoire I call assert protection. For me too boring but everyone has different priorities
@@davids9167 Tax friendly? You wanna see the property taxes I'm paying for a 600 sqm plot of land in a village in Uruguay! And keep going up every year!
you can open a bank account in pesos and usd from your phone. the argentinian bank system is super fast compared to developed countries, with most transactions being instantaneous and stuff like that. still, i wouldn't move a ton of money into those accounts but just enough for daily expenditures
Agreed on the hiring opportunity. I am looking to offshore a part of my business and need intelligent, educated, English-speaking people. Obviously wage cost is a factor. Eastern Europe is compelling, but with the world trying its very best to lose its collective mind right now, I wonder how stable that area will be in the short to medium time frame. I have been hearing more about Argentina as an offshoring destination. Agreed the North American time zone sync is a big plus. The passport is tempting. I might consider it and take on the inability to renounce risk if not for a couple of other factors in their immigration legislation. Apparently it is written (though not always enforced), that naturalized citizens who later naturalize in another country could have their Argentine citizenship revoked. Also, there is a requirement for regular visits to maintain the citizenship (again, likely not always enforced to the letter). Perhaps less of a concern if I have an office of staff there, but otherwise, Argentina is not "on the way" to too many places, so stopping in regularly is a big factor. Two years to a descent passport, sipping Merlot and eating beef, there are worse things, so I am still considering it. It seems their CFC rules might give you an out for active business corporations, so getting hit with high taxes on only the personal income for a couple of years seems a reasonable trade-off for the travel document.
You may want to get another passport that doesn’t require you to waive your current citizenship, and get easier access to Argentina. If you get another Mercosur passport, you can go for 3 months a year and request residency, for example, if your current passport doesn’t already guarantee you that. As a bonus your get yet another passport and doesn’t have to renounce. If you want to renounce and find it unstable in Argentina, choose another more stable country and go from there.
@@carolinas8886 Agreed. I am considering Peru for the passport, following exactly the logic you outlined. It is more or less the same 2 year qualifying period. I have heard good things about Lima, but having already spent time in B.A., I was leaning to Argentina as a preference for the time on the ground portion of qualifying for the passport. That, and if I could have combined the 6+ months a year in-country, with the creation of a local office, it would have been time well-spent. Maybe Peru offers a similar off-shoring opportunity, though I'm not certain that English proficiency is quite as high (crucial for any staff).
Interested in Argentina too and just because of Javier Milei.I love that guy and his program is just me 100% I Hate Socialism, i hate regulations and just leave us alone. So, i ll go there, for sure, soon.
4:42... exactly. I've recently discovered Argentina is not tax friendly at all. When I crunched the numbers (I'm an accountant), I was surprised by the amount of gouging into my wallet I would have to endure. Taxing my US Social Security was bad enough.. but if you have a decent net worth, their wealth tax on global assets is excessive. Then there's Uruguay.. very tax friendly, but they make you take vaccines to get residency. No thanks. So I'm off to the State of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. I has a European culture with low crime, no wealth tax, low property taxes and minimal dipping into Social Security income. I was born in the USA, but my parents are both Brazilian, so I already have my Brazilian Passport in hand and can speak Portuguese fairly well. At this point it's a no brainer for me. Good luck to anyone wishing to relocate out of the USA. If you are watching global events carefully, you know war is coming... best to get to a safe place soon.
honest take from an argentinian: argentina is the worst at enforcing its taxes. administration barely keep track on local taxes and by paying 1 in 5 annual fees you're absolutely fine, let alone global assets. they simply don't have the tools to trace them
@@babiaal1200 I hear you and I'm not surprised by that... but I'm a devout Christian and have to obey God's command that says to pay taxes to whom taxes are due (Romans 13:6-7). So until Milei makes Argentina more tax friendly, it's just not an option for me.
@@babiaal1200 So everybody becomes a criminal, what a great society you can expect from that... It's not worth it, there are better places to live a more stable, sustainable life without having to hide from the authorities.
I am a trader who makes a living by trading stocks and futures. Although many countries have lower capital gains taxes, sometimes these countries will calculate the speculative income of professional traders as personal income and pay personal income tax, which is much higher than capital gains tax. Can you talk about countries suitable for professional traders to immigrate to?
I think this video it's out of place. He should talk about the economical situation there that was and now it's more fucked up because of the new president. First video that I think it's misguiding.

I live in Argentina and its great. The only issue is getting money into Argentina. If you do you need to find a Cueva, a black market money changer, who will accept crypto and there are some in most cities. If you have that you can live cheap and send money into Argentina in crypto, and its full of great friendly people. I love it here. I live in Mendoza which is a lot safer than BA, which is dangerous. I think Milei is turning around the country, its slow but I think its working. You cant get a bank account in Argentina without permanent residency. The tax situation is difficult here. ITs very high and you need a good accountant.
I'm sorry to say you know nothing about him and his contradictions. People voted him for the things he said he was going to do but instead, he did the opposite
@@microcolonel 60% of poorness, a rise in homeless, the most brutal economy adjustment in the history (Milei said that) and for nothing becase the production and the economy is paralyzed and almost no one is selling/producing anything!
@@Eldino1976 and yet the inflation rate has plummeted... Production decreases would lead to price inflation, so clearly people are producing and selling mostly everything they were before.
@@microcolonel You re living here? because the inflation only in numbers appears loe but that's because almosto NOBODY is consuming!! the consume levels is in their lowest point in the history of Argentina in the last 100 years! Even the Argentinian producers said that!
Thanks Andrew. Argentina has been on my radar for real estate as a buy low and long term hold. Can you please comment or have your R&D side discuss in a video? 🙏🏼
When I was looking for apartment to rent, if there is smth looks nice close to western standards its overpriced compared to options in Mexico for example. Food is great and cheap ..
I wonder which charges the lowest taxes for dividends between Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Colombia. Dividends in the Philippines are not taxed twice. I think being a mexican tax resident means you're charged 15% tax. I don't see a fixed amount for the other countries.
Take care with dividends taxes in Latinoamerica because most of the countries don't have a double tax agreement with USA, Canada and some European countries so you will be taxed twice. For USA 30% and 25% for Canada. Brazil has 0% dividend tax. Uruguay where I live taxes you 12% on dividends but if you pay more than that on origin, you can fully deduct that and not pay anything extra. Besides that, there is not capital gains tax on stocks in Uruguay.
Brazil and Mexico have agreements with my country, the Philippines. I can't seem to find the right tax percentage, though. I am referring to earning dividends from a foreign source (Filipinas) as a resident of a latin american country.
Thanks for another great video Andrew and team. I’m considering moving there for a year to check it out. I will be retired living off crypto. How bad is the wealth tax? Can you be a resident for a year or two and avoid this?
The wealth tax is up to 2.25% on assets outside of Argentina and 1.75% inside. If you are a tax resident it applies. If your primary residence is in Argentina you are a tax resident. Milei proposed lowering the wealth tax to 0.5% in his original bill of changes but the reduction was scrapped to help get the rest of the reforms passed (which still haven't been afaik)
@@OxymoronicTonic It def. is but I think as a crypto guy your best bet is Portugal, crypto friendly regulation, zero taxes on it. You can go for the D7 visa or the Golden visa if you want to buy some real estate.
I’ve been living in Buenos Aires the last 2 months and it was horrible. Service was bad , money situation was terrible, and I’ve never experienced racism like this but I did love the time zone for working… I don’t know if I would hire there ( because of inflation) I wouldn’t want employees who struggle in their country unless I pay them like an American
Agree and no Argentina is not rock bottom it's fine but is getting more expensive it's not a country to invest in yet save for buying some property for one's self
Argentina has the most amount of taxes in the world, but we also are the biggest tax evaders, there are tons of loopholes and avoidable taxes that if done right can allow you to save a lot of money
Yes but is it worth it? Specially considering the fragility of it's system and the occasional crisis that destroys everything to the ground every now and then? So many other countries out there offer a more reasonable, sustainable way of living a decent life.
@@juliandiaz9367I never said it was a worth it, rather the opposite, it's a bureaucratic mess that helps absolutely no one and just makes it a pain for tax payers. Even if we can find ways around some of the taxes, we'll still have an enormous fiscal pressure on our wallets. The average Argentine works half of the year to pay taxes, and that's absurd, especially considering that the state is very dysfunctional. Fortunately, things are starting to change, and if things go right, we'll not only have less taxes, but also a more efficient administration of taxes that will lift a large burden on the taxpayers' shoulders.
This is a puzzling video. I live in Buenos Aires and there has been no change, in crypto or anything else, since the election. The only change is that inflation has continued but the dollar has not moved, so in real terms (dollars) the cost of living has changed by 150-200% in six months. Something things like public transport are 7x higher. If you want to invest, it might be a good time. To live here - you’re trading illusory libertarian “freedom” for a significant higher cost than what it used to be. Don’t get me wrong, I like Buenos Aires. But moving here just because there is now a whacky president is a dumb reason, instead of looking at how much worse it’s got for expats. A friend just got back from Italy and said groceries are higher quality and lower cost.
Public transport is not a good example considering the government (through people’s taxes) was financing transport and it wasn’t a sustainable situation. The fact that it isn’t financed by the people it means that now we have to pay the real cost of transport. Until Milei, Argentina had to lowest public transport fees in the whole world. It was about time we get real, less government and our taxes hopefully being better invested.
@@lulylucero you’re focussed on a political view (government good/bad”). My point is that Argentina is waaay more expensive for expats than it was so it’s odd to put it on the radar just because you happen to agree with the policies of the president. Crypto was in use before Milei with few real restrictions. Meanwhile my health insurance had gone up 2x in 6 months, electricity is now $350 a month for me, my gas costs are 7x a year ago, all in dollars
Also, indeed once and if ever the argentinian economy was to improve, indeed it won’t be the cheapest country to live in. I understand you’d rather be there while you can live like the rich but it’s selfish of you to want the economy to be bad in order to benefit you and your dollars to go further. In case you didn’t know, when the argentinian economy was good for the people of Argentina, we didn’t get almost any tourism because it was an expensive country to tour. Some people said it was more expensive to London. And as much as Buenos Aires used to be beautiful back then, more than now, people would rather go to London o Paris rather than Buenos Aires. The fact that so much socialism almost destroyed us is the only reason people now can visit Argentina and stay there rather than Europe only because their dollars and euros can go a lot further in Buenos Aires. So yes, consider one day your currency may not go as far and you may have to find a new place to stretch your currency as far as you desire.
@@lulylucero again, you are ascribing meaning. I didn’t say Argentina was good or bad or the government was good or bad or that I want Argentina to be poor. I first came to Argentina before you were born. I ONLY said that choosing to move to Argentina because you agree with the politicos, when this site is about going where you are treated best and everything is more expensive, is an odd choice and letting his own politics get in the way of good advice.
@@justinwoddis4750 my mom lives with $150 in dollars pension in Buenos Aires (not the city but outside, in San Pedro, Buenos Aires). She has electricity and water from a pump. The internet doesn’t run in her farm unless the gets Starlink. She owns her house so doesn’t need to pay rent. She cooks her own meals very rarely goes to a restaurant. She has public healthcare from the years she worked. She has her own car, actually two cars (an older one she uses for daily shopping where she takes her dog with her and a brand new one with heating and air conditioning for traveling long distance to Cordoba where she has another vacation house), so that’s to say her pension is enough to pay for gas for her cars and car insurance. I don’t know where you live but if do it in the city and go to restaurants etc, then it’s your choice. If you can’t afford it it’s your call, if you don’t like it that now no socialist party is printing dollars to finance services and to keep prices down then too bad. You can complain about Milei or the fact money is no longer being printed all you want. Or you can help by bringing options, competition to lower the prices which is what we need. But if the socialist parties don’t support Milei with the changes he wants to implement, no companies will come to Argentina to compete. We need competition, options, but too many companies left during all these years of socialism. You really don’t understand everything that has happened to Argentina all these years and why things are the way they are now. Prepare to get squished anyways because sooner or later the dollar and the euro will also lose value and then what are you going to do? Complain more?
No crypto friendly country will try to USD their economy. Their tax is not good. Not a good place to invest. Not a good place to stay. Amazing for vacation. That's my take on it.
Not anymore. The government is no longer running a deficit, and inflation is dramatically slowing down. It's still not low, but it's no longer skyrocketing.

I lived in Argentina last summer and it was awesome. I got a newly renovated apartment in the best part of Buenos Aires for $600 a month and was told that if I extended the price would drop to $450. My USD were worth a fortune in Argentina and I could enjoy steak and wine every night for $10! The people were friendly and it was a fun place to be. Later I spent a month in Mendoza and you could walk into a hypermarket (similar to WalMart) and the steak cuts were out of this world. Like a 1 kg steak for $5 and some of the best steak in the world. The wine selection was massive, delicious and cheap! Just get used to carrying a wad of cash with you and only take out what you need for a week - because anything left over will be worth 10% less the following week due to hyperinflation.
Milei is doing an excellent job with inflation. Nowadays it’s about 5% per month and going lower.
Argentina now is not as cheap in dollar terms as you mentioned . Inflation in the last 5 months was up 60% and the exchange rate between the dollar and the peso didn"t change . Anyway is still cheap to go out for dinner or lunch compare to US .

I'm a US citizen living in Argentina and going through the naturalization process and I can confirm that as a foreigner the general sentiment is, don't be a bother and they won't bother you. Very affordable place to live with amazing people, great diversity both in culture and landscape and a strong passport. It's definitely not for everyone and you need to be very, very patient if you want residency and citizenship but with a good lawyer, it's a relatively smooth process.
Absolutely I would never do those things myself a good assistant or lawyer depending on ones level can do all the paperwork
How long has the process taken you? My family and I are deciding between pursuing Argentinian Citizenship or Chilean Citizenship. Chile can take up to 10 years to actually receive the passport.
@@DanielMurreythe process from day 1 of moving to Argentina and applying for a residency visa to the day you have citizenship and the passport in hand is an optimistic minimum of 3 years but more likely 4. I’ve been in the citizenship process for a year and my lawyer told me today I can expect another year. Plus Milei isn’t exactly pro-immigrant so there’s rumors that the timelines will change. Not trying to scare you off of Argentina but I would say it’s much more worth it to choose the country that fits you best rather than the one that’s supposedly the fastest.
@@DanielMurreytwo years residence in Argentina is the legal requirement for applying for citizenship. It can take a few months to process the paperwork but it shouldn't take you more than 3 years to become an Argentinian. 99% of Argentinians we are immigrant descendants and it's a constitutional right to live in Argentina for anyone in the world no matter where they are from. Feel welcome if you want to move here 😀

There are many beautiful cities besides CABA (Buenos Aires).
Cordoba Capital: One of the largest cities in Argentina. People are very friendly, and many young people from all over the country move there to study. There are many green spaces. There isn’t as much traffic as in Buenos Aires, the public transportation works very well, and the hospitals are excellent.
Mendoza: A very warm city, the cleanest and most organized I've visited in all of Argentina. The summer is fabulous; unlike Córdoba or Buenos Aires, the heat here is dry, with not a drop of sweat. A great variety of excellent wines at unbeatable prices. The surrounding landscape is incredible, with vineyards just minutes from the city, lakes, and mountains. It often snows in winter :)
Bariloche: It's a lovely city. The main advantage, in my opinion, is that you are surrounded by some of the best landscapes in all of Argentina. Lake Nahuel Huapi, the hills, rivers, etc. It's the most beautiful I've seen in Argentina. It also snows in winter.
I'm an Argentinian who moved to the US 11 years ago due to the economic inestability and the social issues that generates. As a libertarian, I hope President Milei will be able to improve the vicious circle of corruption, poverty, instability and insecurity. However, after 80 years of socialism/peronism, it will take some years to get back from all that misery. I really hope he and his team succeed. Young Argentinians deserve to have a better future, considering how a great country Argentina is.

We retired 18 months ago and have lived in Nicaragua and Guatemala since retiring. We think our next stop is Argentina for many reasons. We love Milei, cost of living is fairly low, we speak Spanish, quality of life seems high, and because it is a large country you can find whatever is right for you…beach, mountains, hot weather or cold, big city, small town, rural area, whatever floats your boat. We hope to spend at least a couple months in each place- BA, Bariloche, Mar Del Plata, Mendoza, Salta, and Ushuaia. We prefer cooler weather and medium size cities so we may end up in Salta ?
We think we can live a comfy middle class life for $1500-$2000/month.
2000 these days wonderful country don't base a decision on Milei but rather the country itself
My wife is originally from Nicaragua. The people are wonderful but it is very poor and you have to enjoy hot weather, which we don’t. Guatemala, at least in Xela where we live, is very nice. Highs about 70, lows 45-50, friendly people, low costs ( without budgeting we spend about $1200/month total ), safe…we really like it. We still plan to go to Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Argentina and maybe other countries…but we could be happy returning here unless we find something better.
Yes, and if you find info on Guatemala it is mostly Antigua and Lake Atitlan, which if you like lots of tourists around are wonderful but not really our thing. Check out our videos if you have an interest in Xela.

People think that owning property in Argentina means paying loads of taxes but that just isn’t true. I pay absolutely no tax on my 2 acre homestead and it’s completely legal. There are loads of exceptions and protections you can stack. In every other country where I lived I had to pay a lot of property taxes but here all I have to do is submit an online form and send some documents every two years. And it’s all perfectly legal and above board.
Hello I currently live in United States but looking to buy a home as well how could I do it? At the moment I’m in Buenos Aires for vacation and looking for info
@@N-vp9el Make sure the home has a proper title “titulo” and “ficha parcelaria”. Many properties are sold without proper paperwork, just signing the sale at a notary (Escribano) is not enough, make sure the seller is actually the title holder of the property, sometimes people will try to sell you “derechos posesorios” which are like squatting rights where in theory you can claim true ownership after 20 years if unchallenged but that’s a gamble, other times the property is still in their grandparent’s name and they never did the change and they are selling you inheritance rights. Avoid those. Once you have bought a legit property with a proper title you can request tax exemptions if you meet certain criteria. If your property is off grid and doesn’t benefit from municipal services like water and electricity you pay no municipal taxes. If it is your main residence you can have it certified as “Vivienda Unica” by an escribano which should give you a 50% discount on provincial property taxes, not having access to public utilities gives you a further discount. If you have any kind of disability you can get a 100% tax discount right away as long as your disability is certified by the government and you have a CUD or Certificado Unico de Discapacidad (Disability Certificate). Basically there are tons of options to legally pay no or almost no taxes on your property.

Argentina will not tax your global income if you do not reside in the country 6 months a year. So there really is no need to resign your Argentine citizenship. You can have it along with other citizenships should you desired so.

Countries in the Americas are like the Pokemon evolutions of European countries: the US is the evolution of the UK and Canada the shiny one, Mexico is the evolution of Spain, Argentina is the evolution of Italy, Brazil is the evolution of Portugal, and Haiti is the evolution of France
You make me laugh 🤣 there is some true in your description
😂
Not really.For example Argentina is much closer to Spain than Mexico. Of course Spain and Italy are much closer to each other because they are southern European catholic cultures. So, in America you have European Protestant countries US and Canada, European catholic such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and mostly Native American cultures such as the rest of the continent. Brazil is an afro-Portuguese-native mix. Mexico and Spain have similar language but quite distinct cultures, as Mexico has a very proudly native American rooted culture.
Haiti went backwards instead of evolution
More like France is the evolution of Angola

Uruguay is where you go when you’re 80-85. They call it the land of white heads bcos everyone is old and has white hair! It’s actually a nice place but you definitely need to wait until you stay home a lot.

Thanks for this video! So far it's excellent! Just some things to point out:
- Banking is hard rn, it's true. But it's getting easier and easier. Restrictions are being removed step by step. In a couple of years, it will be very easy to open a bank account on any currency there.
- Taxation is high, but will also be reduced drastically in the next years, if the new president wins also the legislative elections.
- I don't see the disadvantage on not being able to renounce the citizenship once you get naturalized or in your eventual kids' case. It's actually an advantage because if your kids or you want to get the citizenship from (for example) Austria or Estonia.. they can get it and still keep the Argentinean citizenship. It will also not bring you issues at all if you're out of the country. Remember that it's a very safe country in terms of geopolitics, being far away from any conflict.
True I completely agree with you
Thank you for sharing this
Argentinian citizenship is compatible with others. I’m Argentinian and also Italian citizenship, 2 passports is better than 1 😉
i think you cant never renounce to Argentinian citizenship, if a country like Japan wants you to renouce for incompatibility issues the Embassy would issue a paper that says yo do but you actually keep all your rights, its kinda like a "wink" just to please the country that wants exclusive citizenship
@@Silvina46 is it easier to obtain an Italian citizenship if you have a Argentina passport?
Just spent three weeks in Buenos Aires as I’m very interested in Argentina. Had an amazing time!

Please share. What cities, transport, food, safety...? Thank you in advance.
I've been coming down here for 10+ years. Unfortunetly, influecer bros and influecer valley girls have changed palermo (biggest neighborhood in BA) a tourist trap. Once unique hip porteno social venues have turned into touristy american/canadian style coffee shops and asian-american hibachi grill restaurants. I wish they stayed in Colombia.
Interesting take, but BA is massive, there are many other areas to live and hang out if Palermo lost its local authentic feel....the issue is that most expats want to be there.....(-;
palermo has being wrecked for ages. san telmo going close to barracas is still tourist friendly and waaay more enchanting. or saavedra. also, vicente lopez and san isidro are the best if you dare to move 15min away from the capital city
Vomit material category. If people (at least enlightened, aware ones) wanted that then they could just go to America or Canada, etc, and sushi/Hibachi in Japan/Korea. The influencer and air b&b have become a disease and thankfully have peaked.

Argentina has many places to live with different landscapes and climates
I love Argentina, it is cold at this season, I hate endless summers and skiing in Patagonia is great, plus the scenery and the wilderness are simply on par as north america, similar scenery as Colorado and Alberta but with lower regulations.
My main concern is, if I set up a base in Argentina, despite only spending a few months there a year. If I get a citizenship and property there, only have Argentina as a lifestyle option, do the tax authority in Argentina have the ability and the will to enforce their tax laws on me somehow? This is the power many western countries absolutely have, they will chase you down to make you pay or comply with their regulations. I know this kind of strict tax enforcement is not really a thing in many developing countries, especially for us who make money with online business internationally.
I'm just curious if Argentina would have this type of enforcement power to chase my offshore business, as a naturalized citizen who spends only a few months there each year. And have no local job or business except for a property.
Don´t worry, a lot of Argentinians have high amount of millions of dollars in "negro" out of the system and the consequences are nothing, the country have a cultural behavior about evade taxes and hold the dollars in the house´s because the high pressure of the state since 1945 aproximately, 60-70% of the companies is operating 50% in "negro" and 50% in legal at the same time, you only will should declare the minimum and care with you movement´s for don´t call the atention of the Afip taxes services and all will be fine 👍
Tax evasion is illegal in all countries. In Argentina it is very easy to evade taxes because there are few controls. I don't know what will happen in the future. I think it would be good for countries to have very low taxes and for people to have no need to evade them. , the new president has the idea of lowering taxes until they are at a minimum.

Congrats on your videos, I thoroughly enjoy them and have learned quite a bit from them. Regarding Argentina, I wold be very hesitant to invest/move there. You mentioned the tax issue which in itself is enough to dissuade any move there. However, also to. be considered is the reality of crime, unions, corruption, social unrest, bureaucracy, and political upheaval. I would wait to see how Milei pans out. When Macri was elected I had great hopes for the country. Not only was his presidency a bust, but I also lost a great deal of money due to his inability to carry out necessary reforms. Milei may run into the same problem, regardless of his charisma and will to enact change. After all, it IS Argentina with is complicated history and the ever-present, coup loving Peronists forever lurking. Even as a tourist, you will find it a very expensive country today in US dollar terms. Best to live in Uruguay and visit, but always mindful of the time spent in Argentina. I look forward to more of your videos! Best regards!

Welcome bro. Argentina will be the libertarian light of the world
I lived 34 years in Argentina. Before moving back there I would give it at least a couple of years, safety and economy being my top concerns there. I do think the current government is taking the right measures, but it might take a bit to sink in.
I saw someone saying in the comments that the dollar goes far in Argentina, yes that was before! Supermarkets now are as expensive as in Sweden, and all prices (including rent) are recovering from years of being artificially controlled by the government.
I hope it's in the top of the list in a couple of years!
Spent 2months living in Argentina and working remotely online a couple of years ago. Was there in February and March which is there summer months. Stayed in Buenos Aires, Rosario sante Fe and Cordoba. Delicious food and very comfortable country to be in. But that money situation and having to go to western union every week go so tiring and frustrating. 😅. Having a bunch of paper cash is annoying too. But everything is so much more cheaper with cash. Never use ATMs or pay with cards. I think Id go back one day just not anytime soon. I actually really enjoyed nearby Montevideo Uruguay a bit more. But the steak 🥩 is not as delicious lol

In Argentina, not all types of immigration are encouraged, but only those that are beneficial to the country. Nowadays, with the reductions to the state and all those that will come over time, state aid to foreigners will gradually come to an end
Good. Common sense and priorities is the way to go.
A key bill for Argentina, the Bases Law, is being voted on today. If approved (as expected), it will bring about major changes and many opportunities in the energy sector with the new regime for large investments (RIGI). It is also widely rumored that there will be a major investment in the technology sector as well.

Agree 💯 Great opportunities in Argentina with Milei.
Argentina hit rock bottom 25 years ago and now has a rational new leader to bring the country back to its former glory.
What former glory???? Massive unemployment, social unrest, 60% poverty, brutal repression, increasing homelessness, U.S. pricing on everything, but miserable argentinian salary, erosion of all safety nets, crime and violence on the rise, rampant national debt, 300 to 500 % increase in utility prices, businesses collapsing far and right every single day, malnutrition, an eroding middle class and a president that has hitched his star to a visibly declining western "values". Is that the glory you're talking about??? 🤦♀️🤭
But of course, as long as it is cheap for foreigners 😢

@@marilucorracini550 The welfare state always collapses. Correcting that is going to hurt for a while as millions on the dole will be forced to work for a living.

Things WILL get better as long as the country stays on this new course. You have to get rid of the welfare so you can have a healthy economy.

I want that toucan lamp! I'm moving to Argentina in January. Going to scout out various cities in Sept. Millei is going to bring Argentina beyond where the US is because he is cutting spending while we are increasing spending increasing debt. Millei is an exceptionally qualified economist. You have to get a bank account for the rentista visa and deposit 2k per month in AR bank. I'm concerned Argentina will become a target for FARC terrorists. I'm certain Millei will deal with it if he wants foreign investors. I read guns smugglers were just arrested in Mendoza.

Wouldn't Argentina be a good place to get a loan? Get a loan. Wait. Peso loses it's value. Pay it off easy with your us dollars.
Well, the rate of the loan shall probably be close to 35%, but nonetheless, this is very beneficial if inflation is 85%.
I don't think that banks will gamble when it comes to the gigantic interest rate to such a loan.
I dnt think credit is available mostly bz of this
I watched a video from a real estate investor in Argentina explaining the process of buying property as a foreigner in the country which is by and large the same as citizens, but the one thing he was clear about is mortgages do not exist as a product in Argentina and most purchase contracts are quoted in USD because of the inflation in Argentina and it has been this way since the 1970s. Loans in Argentinian Pesos don't sound like they happen much.
Given that the dollar is now lower against the peso than it was in January, and,you’d be paying exorbitant interest, no, not a smart move

Agreed on the hiring opportunity. I am looking to offshore a part of my business and need intelligent, educated, English-speaking people. Obviously wage cost is a factor. Eastern Europe is compelling, but with the world trying its very best to lose its collective mind right now, I wonder how stable that area will be in the short to medium time frame. I have been hearing more about Argentina as an offshoring destination. Agreed the North American time zone sync is a big plus.
The passport is tempting. I might consider it and take on the inability to renounce risk if not for a couple of other factors in their immigration legislation. Apparently it is written (though not always enforced), that naturalized citizens who later naturalize in another country could have their Argentine citizenship revoked. Also, there is a requirement for regular visits to maintain the citizenship (again, likely not always enforced to the letter). Perhaps less of a concern if I have an office of staff there, but otherwise, Argentina is not "on the way" to too many places, so stopping in regularly is a big factor.
Two years to a descent passport, sipping Merlot and eating beef, there are worse things, so I am still considering it. It seems their CFC rules might give you an out for active business corporations, so getting hit with high taxes on only the personal income for a couple of years seems a reasonable trade-off for the travel document.
You may want to get another passport that doesn’t require you to waive your current citizenship, and get easier access to Argentina. If you get another Mercosur passport, you can go for 3 months a year and request residency, for example, if your current passport doesn’t already guarantee you that. As a bonus your get yet another passport and doesn’t have to renounce. If you want to renounce and find it unstable in Argentina, choose another more stable country and go from there.
@@carolinas8886 Agreed. I am considering Peru for the passport, following exactly the logic you outlined. It is more or less the same 2 year qualifying period. I have heard good things about Lima, but having already spent time in B.A., I was leaning to Argentina as a preference for the time on the ground portion of qualifying for the passport.
That, and if I could have combined the 6+ months a year in-country, with the creation of a local office, it would have been time well-spent. Maybe Peru offers a similar off-shoring opportunity, though I'm not certain that English proficiency is quite as high (crucial for any staff).

4:42... exactly. I've recently discovered Argentina is not tax friendly at all. When I crunched the numbers (I'm an accountant), I was surprised by the amount of gouging into my wallet I would have to endure. Taxing my US Social Security was bad enough.. but if you have a decent net worth, their wealth tax on global assets is excessive. Then there's Uruguay.. very tax friendly, but they make you take vaccines to get residency. No thanks. So I'm off to the State of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. I has a European culture with low crime, no wealth tax, low property taxes and minimal dipping into Social Security income. I was born in the USA, but my parents are both Brazilian, so I already have my Brazilian Passport in hand and can speak Portuguese fairly well. At this point it's a no brainer for me. Good luck to anyone wishing to relocate out of the USA. If you are watching global events carefully, you know war is coming... best to get to a safe place soon.
honest take from an argentinian: argentina is the worst at enforcing its taxes. administration barely keep track on local taxes and by paying 1 in 5 annual fees you're absolutely fine, let alone global assets. they simply don't have the tools to trace them
@@babiaal1200 I hear you and I'm not surprised by that... but I'm a devout Christian and have to obey God's command that says to pay taxes to whom taxes are due (Romans 13:6-7). So until Milei makes Argentina more tax friendly, it's just not an option for me.

When I was looking for apartment to rent, if there is smth looks nice close to western standards its overpriced compared to options in Mexico for example. Food is great and cheap ..
I wonder which charges the lowest taxes for dividends between Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Colombia. Dividends in the Philippines are not taxed twice. I think being a mexican tax resident means you're charged 15% tax. I don't see a fixed amount for the other countries.
Take care with dividends taxes in Latinoamerica because most of the countries don't have a double tax agreement with USA, Canada and some European countries so you will be taxed twice. For USA 30% and 25% for Canada.
Brazil has 0% dividend tax.
Uruguay where I live taxes you 12% on dividends but if you pay more than that on origin, you can fully deduct that and not pay anything extra. Besides that, there is not capital gains tax on stocks in Uruguay.
Brazil and Mexico have agreements with my country, the Philippines. I can't seem to find the right tax percentage, though. I am referring to earning dividends from a foreign source (Filipinas) as a resident of a latin american country.
Thanks for another great video Andrew and team. I’m considering moving there for a year to check it out. I will be retired living off crypto. How bad is the wealth tax? Can you be a resident for a year or two and avoid this?
The wealth tax is up to 2.25% on assets outside of Argentina and 1.75% inside. If you are a tax resident it applies. If your primary residence is in Argentina you are a tax resident. Milei proposed lowering the wealth tax to 0.5% in his original bill of changes but the reduction was scrapped to help get the rest of the reforms passed (which still haven't been afaik)

There is not much downside left when you hit rock bottom. That's where Argentina is at right now.
Agree and no Argentina is not rock bottom it's fine but is getting more expensive it's not a country to invest in yet save for buying some property for one's self
Argentina has the most amount of taxes in the world, but we also are the biggest tax evaders, there are tons of loopholes and avoidable taxes that if done right can allow you to save a lot of money
Yes but is it worth it? Specially considering the fragility of it's system and the occasional crisis that destroys everything to the ground every now and then? So many other countries out there offer a more reasonable, sustainable way of living a decent life.
@@juliandiaz9367I never said it was a worth it, rather the opposite, it's a bureaucratic mess that helps absolutely no one and just makes it a pain for tax payers. Even if we can find ways around some of the taxes, we'll still have an enormous fiscal pressure on our wallets. The average Argentine works half of the year to pay taxes, and that's absurd, especially considering that the state is very dysfunctional. Fortunately, things are starting to change, and if things go right, we'll not only have less taxes, but also a more efficient administration of taxes that will lift a large burden on the taxpayers' shoulders.
This is a puzzling video. I live in Buenos Aires and there has been no change, in crypto or anything else, since the election. The only change is that inflation has continued but the dollar has not moved, so in real terms (dollars) the cost of living has changed by 150-200% in six months. Something things like public transport are 7x higher. If you want to invest, it might be a good time. To live here - you’re trading illusory libertarian “freedom” for a significant higher cost than what it used to be. Don’t get me wrong, I like Buenos Aires. But moving here just because there is now a whacky president is a dumb reason, instead of looking at how much worse it’s got for expats. A friend just got back from Italy and said groceries are higher quality and lower cost.
Public transport is not a good example considering the government (through people’s taxes) was financing transport and it wasn’t a sustainable situation. The fact that it isn’t financed by the people it means that now we have to pay the real cost of transport. Until Milei, Argentina had to lowest public transport fees in the whole world. It was about time we get real, less government and our taxes hopefully being better invested.
@@lulylucero you’re focussed on a political view (government good/bad”). My point is that Argentina is waaay more expensive for expats than it was so it’s odd to put it on the radar just because you happen to agree with the policies of the president. Crypto was in use before Milei with few real restrictions. Meanwhile my health insurance had gone up 2x in 6 months, electricity is now $350 a month for me, my gas costs are 7x a year ago, all in dollars
Also, indeed once and if ever the argentinian economy was to improve, indeed it won’t be the cheapest country to live in. I understand you’d rather be there while you can live like the rich but it’s selfish of you to want the economy to be bad in order to benefit you and your dollars to go further. In case you didn’t know, when the argentinian economy was good for the people of Argentina, we didn’t get almost any tourism because it was an expensive country to tour. Some people said it was more expensive to London. And as much as Buenos Aires used to be beautiful back then, more than now, people would rather go to London o Paris rather than Buenos Aires. The fact that so much socialism almost destroyed us is the only reason people now can visit Argentina and stay there rather than Europe only because their dollars and euros can go a lot further in Buenos Aires. So yes, consider one day your currency may not go as far and you may have to find a new place to stretch your currency as far as you desire.
@@lulylucero again, you are ascribing meaning. I didn’t say Argentina was good or bad or the government was good or bad or that I want Argentina to be poor. I first came to Argentina before you were born. I ONLY said that choosing to move to Argentina because you agree with the politicos, when this site is about going where you are treated best and everything is more expensive, is an odd choice and letting his own politics get in the way of good advice.
@@justinwoddis4750 my mom lives with $150 in dollars pension in Buenos Aires (not the city but outside, in San Pedro, Buenos Aires). She has electricity and water from a pump. The internet doesn’t run in her farm unless the gets Starlink. She owns her house so doesn’t need to pay rent. She cooks her own meals very rarely goes to a restaurant. She has public healthcare from the years she worked. She has her own car, actually two cars (an older one she uses for daily shopping where she takes her dog with her and a brand new one with heating and air conditioning for traveling long distance to Cordoba where she has another vacation house), so that’s to say her pension is enough to pay for gas for her cars and car insurance. I don’t know where you live but if do it in the city and go to restaurants etc, then it’s your choice. If you can’t afford it it’s your call, if you don’t like it that now no socialist party is printing dollars to finance services and to keep prices down then too bad. You can complain about Milei or the fact money is no longer being printed all you want. Or you can help by bringing options, competition to lower the prices which is what we need. But if the socialist parties don’t support Milei with the changes he wants to implement, no companies will come to Argentina to compete. We need competition, options, but too many companies left during all these years of socialism. You really don’t understand everything that has happened to Argentina all these years and why things are the way they are now. Prepare to get squished anyways because sooner or later the dollar and the euro will also lose value and then what are you going to do? Complain more?
thanks for posting!
No crypto friendly country will try to USD their economy. Their tax is not good. Not a good place to invest. Not a good place to stay. Amazing for vacation. That's my take on it.
I live in Argentina and this is a very accurate video! 👍
Big disadvantage of Argentina is skyrocketing inflation
Not anymore. The government is no longer running a deficit, and inflation is dramatically slowing down. It's still not low, but it's no longer skyrocketing.
Better the old day if one had USD. I can do without neoliberalism. It will ultimately not work. It's still affordable
Not anymore
Well, lots of envious Latin Americans here, saying that their country is better...
