Wow I am so glad I found this video!!!! I am 20 randomly decided to leave the US to Argentina for about 3 months (though I would love to stay longer) with the savings I have. Not only that my family is from Venezuela!! Thank you for the insight I appreciate it a lot. Brings me peace of mind that other people have been on this journey as well, and managed to live there!
I am so glad that the video was useful for you!!! Honestly coming to Argentina is one of the best things I ever did, I hope you have a great time here!!!
you can actually love for 250usd a month here nowadays, i feel like she exaggerates the rent price. you dont need to rent in recoleta or palermo to.be safe.
You're so awesome! Argentina has experienced some tough times. But its best times is yet to come. It has good food, educated people, georgraphically away from wars, and it's not as crazy as in Brazil (I'm half-Brazillian). All the country needs is fresh, vibrant young blood like you! Great video.
@@sabrinahuyke thanks Sabrina , it's a great people around this place people loge helping you to learn , am experiencing love and help in learning Spanish, a happy you shared your experience
I thank you very much for your story. You lead from the front, and provide useful intel. See, I'm interested in moving to (not just visiting) Argentina, possibly Bariloche. Your persepective is far more useful and informative than some blissfully arrogant backpacker who already has a 6-figure job at Facebook or Apple or whatever, whose biggest worry isn't rent but, where they're gonna get their next chai latte.
Hey there! Thank you for the support, it means a lot! I really wanted to explain a bit of my experience so people can have an idea of what it's like to move countries and that not everything needs to be support difficult if you have the right info. I hope your moving goes well! Argentina is a beautiful country.
Thank you! You were super helpful! I’m on my first trip to AR because of my LDR. I’ve been here for about 2 1/2 months, and after flight costs to get here I’ve been living on about 1,000 USD. I wanna move here later in the year but I know it’s gonna take wayyy more money and more planning than I’ve done this time. Thanks for the tips, you got a new subscriber! 😁
Hey Jordan! I'm so glad that the video was helpful for you! 😄 Where would you be moving from? Living in Argentina has definitely been a great experience for me in the last 4 years, if a little rocky at first, so I hope you really enjoy it too!
Thank you, I am going to move away from Italy, because of the horrible global situation, i have almost finished Computer Science Bachelors in here, I hope I will be able to finish it remotely from there, and now I am going to watch your video on how to find a remote job, because i want to help my family. Thank you one more time

@@hosamelsayed5723 it really depends on one's ambitions and goals, i don't like Italian mentality, and cannot see the future i want for me and my family, but there are plenty of people who feel good and would never move to another country. Just a small update, I moved to Canada eventually, enjoying it in here very much so far 🥰🤣
@@marioboom7491 Canada is definitely better than Italy no doubt. But I wonder why not go Germany or Sweden? You would at least still be in euro zone and close to home. Also how's Canada? Were you able to land a job in your field of studies right away? Because I know a lot of people with foreign education who struggled.
So brave, resourceful and impressive! You must be from the US and Venezuela, and your Castellano will be perfect when you start talking really fast, like a Porteña. My wife and kids are Argentine, I went 30 times before the fiancee Visa was approved. I retired, and will be moving to Canning next year, the cost of living is about 40% of costs here. I love the warmth of the people there. Not looking for work there, I just prefer to raise my kids there, socialize with in-laws, live safely in a wooded area, barrio cerrado.
Thank you for the support! I am actually Venezuelan, yes, hahaha. It's wonderful that you're thinking about coming here with your family, ever since I moved here I have felt so welcomed by everyone here. One of the things that I wondered when moving out of my country was whether any other place would ever feel like home, and that's something that Argentina has managed to do. I hope it's the same for you!
@@sabrinahuyke I spent 18 months there, a month at a time from 2002-2011, on vacations. We found a really nice neighborhood called Terralagos in Canning. Capital Federal is great, but apartment living is difficult with two rambunctious boys, parties, and loud music! The in-laws have backyards with lime, avocado, mango, and banana trees. It would be great to eat breakfast from the backyard.
I heard that we can get citizenship of Argentina by only residing for 2 years. Is it true? Do you have information regarding it I want to study undergraduate degree in Argentina, Am I eligible to apply for citizenship after my studies?
Hey there! So it's totally possible for many people to apply for a citizenship, but how long that takes will depend on your original nationality I'm afraid. The country requires different number of years of legal residence for different people. Usually people from MERCOSUR have the ability to apply for the nationality after a couple of years, but I'm not sure about the rest, I'm sorry!
@@sabrinahuyke Well, I am from Pakistan. I heard that you came from Venezuela 5 years ago, have you applied for your citizenship and have you got it? On internet I can see that Venezuela was an ex-member of Mercosur...
Hey! I think I tried my best to summarize how I spent the 1200usd that I had, but for context the bedroom that I was renting was 200usd at the moment, and I think you could find other bedrooms for something similar right now! As for the costs of food, I can't remember exactly how much I spent, sorry!
I’ve met a girl from Argentina and I plan to live with her. I’m wondering if there’s anyway to bring 30,000 dollars to Argentina despite the currency restrictions.
Hey Charley! I'm glad that you've met someone you're planning to live with. That really is a big question, I definitely don't think you can enter the country with that much money in cash, you would have to probably use a bank account and then try to change the money or send yourself the money little by little using something like Western Union. I am not exactly sure but you could find a way definitely!
You're allowed to bring up to $10k USD per trip there. 50% tax past 10k. Some people open bank accounts in Colonia or Montevideo, Uruguay, do electronic wire transfers from their US bank, then take the 3hr Buquebus or Colonia Express ferry to bring back 10k/trip. You'd have to notify the bank, I don't think that they usually keep lots of USD on hand.
@@CharleyB23 using western union to send yourself the money i believe is a really good option, the change of currency they use gives you more money per dollar and is not that hard to do
@@sabrinahuyke I was last in Argentina in March 2020. I had to return to the USA for medical reasons and then the coronavirus pandemic hit and Argentina has been closed down for nearly 2 years. But I hope to return in December. I own a home in Mar Del Plata.
I was able to come into the country without a visa, and then when I got here I applied for the residence right away! After applying I was given a 2 year residence with an Argentine ID and I was able to live here normally. Now I have the permanent residence!
Hi, I would like to go to Argentina too in the next month. May I ask you if you enter the country as a tourist and then after finding a job, submitted the application for a work visa? Thank you
Hey there! Yes, I entered as a tourist and when I got here I applied for a temporary residence, and with that they give you the work permit right away. I am not very sure what other types of visa there are, but applying for residence itself is very simple!
@@sabrinahuyke Ok, but did before you get a job proposal in order to get the temporary residence? Because as I know there is no other way to have it without having a job proposal or being a student there. Or you know one simpler, please tell me.
@@a.grazioli3014 Hey there! So it was a bit easier for me to get it because I am a Venezuelan resident so we have different agreements with Argentina, but in this government page where they explain the different types of residency you can apply for they explain that you can apply for residence if you already have the means to support yourself while being here, might be useful to read: www.argentina.gob.ar/servicio/obtener-una-residencia-temporaria-como-rentista-no-mercosur. Hope it helps!
Hey there John! I think the easiest way for you to ask for a residency here in Argentina would be following the steps here: www.argentina.gob.ar/servicio/obtener-una-residencia-temporaria-especial-no-mercosur I hope this helps!
New to your channel just subscribed I admire your ambition and adventure spirit I’m the exact same way. Colombia is on my list to travel to but It’s something about Argentina that’s making me reconsider my taste.
Hey Amaru! Thank you for the support, it means a lot! Colombia is a great country, I want to visit there mysefl! I don't think you need to reconsider your taste haha. But yes, Argentina is also a great place to be!
Hey there! That really depends on a lot of things, I walk around normally in the city, but there are different degrees of insecurity in different places. I am of the opinion that you should be careful everywhere you go regardless of the country hahaha
Hey Juan! There are several steps to work here, if you ask for a residence it's pretty simple to get your CUIL (which would be like your employee identification number or something like that) and that legally allows you to look for a job here. Some institutes are even more permissive tho, and if you have like a teaching certificate they might hire you before you even have that while you get your paperwork sorted! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hey Danny! I asked for the residence here in Argentina, that process is relatively easy, I know it varies a little depending on where you're coming from, but it's relatively easy to get a 1 or 2 year residence!
That's the case now, but when I came 5 years ago things were a tiny bit different. This is also not talking about how things are now, I am just telling the story about how I moved here 5 years ago haha
Very interesting. I'm probably going to choose Paraguay instead as my first flag for permanent residency, which can lead to citizenship. I had dismissed Argentina because they don't allow dual citizenship. Although a temporary or permanent residency there might be a great tunnel or flag especially if I'm next door in Encarnacion.
Hey there! Thank you for the support! I believe another person already replied, Diego, and he's right that you can actually have a dual citizenship, I am even in the process of asking for the Argentine citizenship!
Hey there Paul! Thank you for your comment! So I really can't speak to whether or not that's enough, but it is a lot of money. It might depend on what kind of lifestyle you will have here. I honestly wish that I could give you a more detailed answer, but I really don't know what you will need as a retiree, I'm really sorry.
Mmmm I know Argentina has a "work and travel" agreement with some countries, but I am not sure how that works really because I came as a tourist and then applied to be a resident directly.
I find it interesting that you said that it was expensive(rent) and that you got a room for $200 a month. If you got that same room for $200 a month even in Middle America which is the most cheapest part of America. That would be considered a deal!
Hahaha I know right? Even now I know that my rent would be considered a deal in other parts of the world, but it's still expensive for the people who live and work here! I'm fortunate to work with American companies.
Hi Sabrina, great vids! Thank you for sharing I stayed up all night watching them they are soon informative I've subscribed! May I ask, do you know how my husband and I could get around the 90 day stay rule. We are both British citizens but would like to take long stays in Argentina if we like it longer than 6 months? We've seen videos of others paying fines etc but worried about breaking any rules and not being allowed to re-nter? TIA
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! I am not entirely sure how you can extend the visa without asking for a residence, but I was speaking with an american friend yesterday by coincidence, and he mentioned that what he did to extend his stay was that he took a quick trip to Uruguay for the day and came back to stamp his passport for another 3 months! I am not sure how sustainable this is, but you might be able to give it a try?
I loved your video, im from Argentina but your video is inspiring to me bc i want to live abroad, but also because it lead me to the video "How to find a remonte job".
Hey there Alejandro! So that is indeed a lot of money, and if you divide it for the number of months you're going to be here that's almost 650usd a month. That's definitely a good salary here, many people pay for all of their life expense with even less than that, but it depends on the lifestyle that you have. If you work here then your savings will last longer and they will be enough, but I would suggest monitoring your expenses closely so you know where the money is going, and if you can find a part time job that's also a good idea!
The migration process is really easy! More than a visa you apply for the residency right away. You need your clean criminal records, and some other easy to get documents from the country, and you request the appointment!
@@sabrinahuyke ok so you can arrive as a tourist and apply for residency? And what do you have to show them. Like bank statements? Or how you are going to support yourself? Or do you not need anything?
@@abrahamtola5441 Yes, you can arrive as a tourist and then apply for a residency. When I arrived as a tourist they didn't ask me for proof of funds, they just asked where I was going to stay and what I was going to do in the country. But even if you come as a tourist you need to have your legalized criminal records from your homecountry in advanced, and then requests the Argentine ones, then you need proof of housing in the country cause that is how they know where to delivery your ID, aaaand I think that's it haha. I'd have to check again cause I don't remember for sure right now.
Ok. That sounds easy. Last question. Is there racism there and are the people friendly. I heard they aren’t very kind to dark skinned people and also where do you apply for the long term visa and id once your in the country ? Immigration? And do you apply for visa extension or residency
@@abrahamtola5441 Hey Abraham! So, I really can't speak about racism for the whole country. Many people don't consider that I am dark skinned, but I am definitely not white, and I personally haven't experienced discrimination for my skin color. But just like anything else I am sure there are some bad apples here and there, I wouldn't say it's the majority tho. And regarding the visa, they don't call it a visa exactly it's the residency, and you have temporary and permanent residency, and they tell you when you apply for it in migration which one you can apply for! The temp one is usually given for 1 or 2 years, and depending on your nationality you can apply for the permanent one when you renew it. It depends!
Very informative and brave as f, for doing what u did! Good on you for making the move. I have a question for you. Any regrets for making the move over there and secondly was it that bad where you lived to make a change like this? If to personal no problem
Hey Joshua! Thank you for your support. I have absolutely no regrets haha. I love living in Argentina, this country has given me all the opportunities I don't think I would have had if I had stayed where I was, and it has been nothing but welcoming to me. It was difficult at first but absolutely worth it and I don't imagine my life any other way right now. It was pretty bad in my home country, I really believe that I left at the limit of my ability to adapt to the situation there haha.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to going there . It be cool if you could make a vid on getting a decent rental for a 3 month stay. Would you use air bnb for something like that. Guess I’m saying what’s best way to get a rental.
@@joshuakelly997 airbnb is kinda expensive i believe, normally they're more than 200 a day, renting from argentine pages i believe is cheaper, you can check in zonaprop, argenprop, mercado libre. Put temporal rent if you're only going there for three months. If youre coming here to live then is a little bit harder to rent because contracts last (most of them) three years and you need some papers
@@sabrinahuyke Of course! Do you feel safe having valuables in your home? I intend to move but I'm nervous about acquiring valuables. I guess it depends on the area. I'm interested in Palermo the most.
@@HowsDaJello I do feel safe having valuables in my home, yeah. I can't say that bad things never happen but you just have to be diligent with locking your door and that's it! It's overall very safe here in Buenos Aires.
I work as an independent contractor for an American company now, meaning the company is not registered in Argentina. So you could also think of me as a freelancer!
You are correct, tickets are very expensive. That's why I clarified that 1200 were left after I had bought the ticket haha. Also, I came from Venezuela 5 years ago and the ticket was around 800usd, still expensive, but different haha.
When I moved here? I was not earning anything haha. I just came here with my savings and I didn't find a job until after almost two months. Then I started teaching some classes and yeah, I made the equivalent in pesos to around 400usd but a bit more than half of that went to rent 🙂
You might be right! Some of these neighborhoods can be quite expensive, but those are the ones that I know the most so that's why I mentioned those! There are cheaper rent options within each one tho, so it might just be a matter of searching!
Haha I didn't think I was being brave back then! It was just something that I thought was the logical thing for me to do. After getting here things did get a bit scarier tho! Haha
Hey there! I personally didn't have (and didn't need) qualifications, but I already had 2 years of experience teaching the language to children and adults, so that was enough for institutes to hire me!
You make it sound like rent is expensive and it is really hard to get a place to rent but the average rent is around $500 for a one bedroom and many places will let you pay multiple months of rent up front. I guess things were different for you since you only had around 1k for all your expenses.
I'm not sure what your experience is but... Not many people have a salary that's good enough to afford $500 for rent, lol. And requirements to rent an apartment, like an actual long term lease, ARE complicated to get, especially if you're an immigrant who hasn't been in the country long. If you were a foreigner who's coming to rent an airbnb with a remote job from the States that pays upwards from $3k a month, I suppose $500 rent is cheap and airbnb is easy to rent, but that's not the case for many locals or immigrants who actually work for Argentinean companies paid in pesos. But, what do I know? One if the things that I tell everyone who asks if it's worth it to come to Argentina is that they can't let themselves make a decision just because of what other people say because everyone's experience is different. Maybe your experience is different from mine and that's it hahaha.
This is outdated. Since you made this the government passed laws making rentals very difficult for owners hence many have taken their property off the market causing a serious shortage
@@sabrinahuyke Our country and currency are cheap in comparison with the rest of the world, thats a sign of economic weakness and of how close our economic system in terms of international exchange and production. Just be aware that next year this can change, this is not something stable, this can change in 1, 2, 3 years. If you want real good quality of life move to a more stable country.

Is it safe in Buenos Aires now? I have heard the hyperinflation and problems with the economy are causing a lot of crime.
Hey there! That really depends on a lot of things, I walk around normally in the city, but there are different degrees of insecurity in different places. I am of the opinion that you should be careful everywhere you go regardless of the country hahaha
What are the steps to work there? I live in NC and I'm interested working as a teacher (ESL) there...Thank you for the video :)
Hey Juan! There are several steps to work here, if you ask for a residence it's pretty simple to get your CUIL (which would be like your employee identification number or something like that) and that legally allows you to look for a job here.
Some institutes are even more permissive tho, and if you have like a teaching certificate they might hire you before you even have that while you get your paperwork sorted!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
You mentioned a migration process. So are you on a visa? I'm super curious how you're able to stay long term in Argentina, please!
Hey Danny! I asked for the residence here in Argentina, that process is relatively easy, I know it varies a little depending on where you're coming from, but it's relatively easy to get a 1 or 2 year residence!
you can rent an apartment, temporary apartment for less than 500, also less than 350
That's the case now, but when I came 5 years ago things were a tiny bit different. This is also not talking about how things are now, I am just telling the story about how I moved here 5 years ago haha
Very interesting. I'm probably going to choose Paraguay instead as my first flag for permanent residency, which can lead to citizenship. I had dismissed Argentina because they don't allow dual citizenship. Although a temporary or permanent residency there might be a great tunnel or flag especially if I'm next door in Encarnacion.
you are wrong. there are scores of argentines with dual citizenships.
Hey there! Thank you for the support! I believe another person already replied, Diego, and he's right that you can actually have a dual citizenship, I am even in the process of asking for the Argentine citizenship!
Argentina allows double citizenship, of course
Could you speak Spanish before you moved or did you learn it after moving there?
Hey there! I was born in Venezuela, so I already spoke Spanish when I moved here!
Great video Sabrina.
Glad you are part of our community now.
Your Spanish pronunciation is almost perfect, with a little local accent as well 😁
Haha thank you Diego! I appreciate the support and I'm glad to be here, I love Argentina 😄
Before argentina.where are you from
Hey! I'm actually from Venezuela.
I've got $200000 and I would like to retire there do you think that is enough? I'm 60 years old!
Hey there Paul! Thank you for your comment!
So I really can't speak to whether or not that's enough, but it is a lot of money. It might depend on what kind of lifestyle you will have here. I honestly wish that I could give you a more detailed answer, but I really don't know what you will need as a retiree, I'm really sorry.
is there any visa that allows to live and travel but not work in argentina for one year?
Mmmm I know Argentina has a "work and travel" agreement with some countries, but I am not sure how that works really because I came as a tourist and then applied to be a resident directly.
Sabrina were you from
Hey there! I'm originally from Venezuela :)
I find it interesting that you said that it was expensive(rent) and that you got a room for $200 a month. If you got that same room for $200 a month even in Middle America which is the most cheapest part of America. That would be considered a deal!
Hahaha I know right? Even now I know that my rent would be considered a deal in other parts of the world, but it's still expensive for the people who live and work here! I'm fortunate to work with American companies.
That’s not even in the realm of possibility anywhere in the US, Midwest or anywhere else.
thank you
Thank you for watching!
Great Job Travel Enjoy Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you for the support!
Hi Sabrina, great vids! Thank you for sharing I stayed up all night watching them they are soon informative I've subscribed!
May I ask, do you know how my husband and I could get around the 90 day stay rule. We are both British citizens but would like to take long stays in Argentina if we like it longer than 6 months? We've seen videos of others paying fines etc but worried about breaking any rules and not being allowed to re-nter? TIA
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! I am not entirely sure how you can extend the visa without asking for a residence, but I was speaking with an american friend yesterday by coincidence, and he mentioned that what he did to extend his stay was that he took a quick trip to Uruguay for the day and came back to stamp his passport for another 3 months! I am not sure how sustainable this is, but you might be able to give it a try?
@@sabrinahuyke Fantastic! thanks for getting back to me ❤️
I loved your video, im from Argentina but your video is inspiring to me bc i want to live abroad, but also because it lead me to the video "How to find a remonte job".
Hey Mati! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I hope the other one was also helpful! 😄
You think 15000 is enough to be there 2 years also thinking of possibly working or studying there to stay longer
Hey there Alejandro! So that is indeed a lot of money, and if you divide it for the number of months you're going to be here that's almost 650usd a month. That's definitely a good salary here, many people pay for all of their life expense with even less than that, but it depends on the lifestyle that you have. If you work here then your savings will last longer and they will be enough, but I would suggest monitoring your expenses closely so you know where the money is going, and if you can find a part time job that's also a good idea!
How did you manage to get a long term visa ?
The migration process is really easy! More than a visa you apply for the residency right away. You need your clean criminal records, and some other easy to get documents from the country, and you request the appointment!
@@sabrinahuyke ok so you can arrive as a tourist and apply for residency? And what do you have to show them. Like bank statements? Or how you are going to support yourself? Or do you not need anything?
@@abrahamtola5441 Yes, you can arrive as a tourist and then apply for a residency. When I arrived as a tourist they didn't ask me for proof of funds, they just asked where I was going to stay and what I was going to do in the country.
But even if you come as a tourist you need to have your legalized criminal records from your homecountry in advanced, and then requests the Argentine ones, then you need proof of housing in the country cause that is how they know where to delivery your ID, aaaand I think that's it haha. I'd have to check again cause I don't remember for sure right now.
Ok. That sounds easy. Last question. Is there racism there and are the people friendly. I heard they aren’t very kind to dark skinned people and also where do you apply for the long term visa and id once your in the country ? Immigration? And do you apply for visa extension or residency
@@abrahamtola5441 Hey Abraham! So, I really can't speak about racism for the whole country. Many people don't consider that I am dark skinned, but I am definitely not white, and I personally haven't experienced discrimination for my skin color. But just like anything else I am sure there are some bad apples here and there, I wouldn't say it's the majority tho.
And regarding the visa, they don't call it a visa exactly it's the residency, and you have temporary and permanent residency, and they tell you when you apply for it in migration which one you can apply for! The temp one is usually given for 1 or 2 years, and depending on your nationality you can apply for the permanent one when you renew it. It depends!
Very informative and brave as f, for doing what u did! Good on you for making the move. I have a question for you. Any regrets for making the move over there and secondly was it that bad where you lived to make a change like this? If to personal no problem
Hey Joshua! Thank you for your support. I have absolutely no regrets haha. I love living in Argentina, this country has given me all the opportunities I don't think I would have had if I had stayed where I was, and it has been nothing but welcoming to me. It was difficult at first but absolutely worth it and I don't imagine my life any other way right now. It was pretty bad in my home country, I really believe that I left at the limit of my ability to adapt to the situation there haha.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to going there . It be cool if you could make a vid on getting a decent rental for a 3 month stay. Would you use air bnb for something like that. Guess I’m saying what’s best way to get a rental.
@@joshuakelly997 airbnb is kinda expensive i believe, normally they're more than 200 a day, renting from argentine pages i believe is cheaper, you can check in zonaprop, argenprop, mercado libre. Put temporal rent if you're only going there for three months. If youre coming here to live then is a little bit harder to rent because contracts last (most of them) three years and you need some papers
Mucho g
Interesting story, thx
Thank you for the support!
Great video thank you
Thank you for watching and for the support!
@@sabrinahuyke Of course! Do you feel safe having valuables in your home? I intend to move but I'm nervous about acquiring valuables. I guess it depends on the area. I'm interested in Palermo the most.
@@HowsDaJello I do feel safe having valuables in my home, yeah. I can't say that bad things never happen but you just have to be diligent with locking your door and that's it! It's overall very safe here in Buenos Aires.
I love your show. I am in Mazatlan now and will do something different. Cool breeze. You where real and intelligent... catman
do you work for an American company in Buenos Aires?
I work as an independent contractor for an American company now, meaning the company is not registered in Argentina. So you could also think of me as a freelancer!
I knew somebody that worked for a U.S company in Buenos Aires but was paid somehow in dollars
Where are you from?
Hey there! I'm originally from Venezuela.
@@sabrinahuyke hablas muy bien el inglés. Te criaste en USA?
Bravo Sabrina
Thank you! Appreciate the support.
the ticket costs is 2000 if you come from northamerica... you cannot move here with 1200.
You are correct, tickets are very expensive. That's why I clarified that 1200 were left after I had bought the ticket haha. Also, I came from Venezuela 5 years ago and the ticket was around 800usd, still expensive, but different haha.
What were you earning? $400 USD a month? Most Argentines earn under $200 USD
When I moved here? I was not earning anything haha. I just came here with my savings and I didn't find a job until after almost two months. Then I started teaching some classes and yeah, I made the equivalent in pesos to around 400usd but a bit more than half of that went to rent 🙂
@@sabrinahuyke I figured it had to be low. But U$S 400 is a lot for most Argentines.
Those places you name are the MUST expensive places....
You might be right! Some of these neighborhoods can be quite expensive, but those are the ones that I know the most so that's why I mentioned those! There are cheaper rent options within each one tho, so it might just be a matter of searching!
@@sabrinahuyke Congreso..
You’re a lot braver then me! 👍🏻😃
Haha I didn't think I was being brave back then! It was just something that I thought was the logical thing for me to do. After getting here things did get a bit scarier tho! Haha
as an English teacher did. you need qualification ?
Hey there! I personally didn't have (and didn't need) qualifications, but I already had 2 years of experience teaching the language to children and adults, so that was enough for institutes to hire me!
You make it sound like rent is expensive and it is really hard to get a place to rent but the average rent is around $500 for a one bedroom and many places will let you pay multiple months of rent up front. I guess things were different for you since you only had around 1k for all your expenses.
I'm not sure what your experience is but... Not many people have a salary that's good enough to afford $500 for rent, lol. And requirements to rent an apartment, like an actual long term lease, ARE complicated to get, especially if you're an immigrant who hasn't been in the country long.
If you were a foreigner who's coming to rent an airbnb with a remote job from the States that pays upwards from $3k a month, I suppose $500 rent is cheap and airbnb is easy to rent, but that's not the case for many locals or immigrants who actually work for Argentinean companies paid in pesos.
But, what do I know? One if the things that I tell everyone who asks if it's worth it to come to Argentina is that they can't let themselves make a decision just because of what other people say because everyone's experience is different. Maybe your experience is different from mine and that's it hahaha.
How amazing i love argentina i want to do something with crypto and coffee there
Hey Alan! I think that you can definitely do something with that here. I also love Argentina! Haha.
You have a lot of manga books from Ivrea :)
Haha yes! I started collecting them as soon as I moved here. I love collecting mangas, books, and CDs. 😄
Good video. Would like to see more videos about living in Argentina. There are a shortage of them. Thanks and regards!
@@dalemadden3914 Thank you Dale! I will definitely get more videos about living in Argentina on my list, people really seem to like this one! Haha
Nice 👍
Thank you!
This is purs on the concacaf yputube channel
So you got Argentina Citizenship ?
Hey there! Not yet, I am in the process of applying for it though! I was able to apply for it after spending two years legally in the country.
Your so pretty
Country of origin ?😊
Hey there! I'm from Venezuela 😄
This is outdated. Since you made this the government passed laws making rentals very difficult for owners hence many have taken their property off the market causing a serious shortage
Hahaha yes, it's very outdated because I made it almost 2 years ago and I moved here 6 years ago.
@@sabrinahuyke You want through a lot with the pandemic. One of the most oppressive lockdowns in the world.
I am a human lgbq
👀
The only thing you are doing is taking advantage of the economic crisis we are facing here.
Why do you think that? Genuinely curious
@@sabrinahuyke Our country and currency are cheap in comparison with the rest of the world, thats a sign of economic weakness and of how close our economic system in terms of international exchange and production. Just be aware that next year this can change, this is not something stable, this can change in 1, 2, 3 years. If you want real good quality of life move to a more stable country.
@@ezequiel6238 Eze, yo me mude a Argentina desde Venezuela hace 5 años, mudarme a Argentina mejoro mi calidad de vida mil veces jajaja.
@@sabrinahuyke ahhh pense que eras americana, hablas muy bien ingles, perdoname!!!!
No hay drama! Jaja
What a long rant 😱
Hahaha I guess yes! 😂
don't even have enough money for the trip. I'm in evil China. It's more than 20,000 kilometers away. The airfare costs 2,000 US dollars.
