Go to gym with your basic spanish and try to work out if it can work. might try walking around and find it. You should probably...

    Which Type of Residency?

    I've heard you could make a trust fund designed to pay you the minimum over the 1-3yrs you want. Arranged in such away that the trust is dissolved once you obtain citizenship or whatever.

    Does anybody know someone who day trades in Argentina?

    I think your passport should do. But maybe the dl to prove you’re a resident somewhere. I moved my license to canada but maybe Cali will reissue.

    Does anybody know someone who day trades in Argentina?

    Wat, as long as you don't explicitly tell your bank/broker "HEY BRO I'M LIVING IN ARGENTINA CAN YOU STILL SERVICE ME". The bank/broker won't care, your money is still good and they aint the cops. If you're living abroad and don't do or say anything that indicates that you aren't a USA tax...

    Argentina and its politics are a complicated thing. I personally do not like the cryptofascism of Peronism that is embedded into the Argentine Psyche... but trying to describe why the whole system is dependent on the clientism of peronism to have argentina even become close to functioning as a...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    If the dollar is legalized for transactions... i don't see how the peso could survive. the only thing remotely keeping the peso alive is the insistence of the government demanding its use at various different exchanges for major commerce. The second that goes away, the peso becomes even more...

    Citizenship

    wow those are like very punitive and seem dated. You shouldn’t need to read and write Spanish. And the 2 years continuous. That could be arranged to be 2 years of residence in the country… not continuously. I’d really suggest doing that in a different province. Entre Ríos wasn’t rough...

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco
