Just a question about this: How does citizenship work? If you spend, for example, a year in BS AS and go to Montevideo on the buquebus every 3 months to renew your tourist visa, are you still elegible to apply for citizenship after just 1 year??

Just a few rather simplistic queries about citizenship. I wonder if anyone could help me (apologies if these issues have been addressed/answered before but I can't seem to find an answer): How does one go about living (and working, freelance in my personal case) in Argentina for two years (in...

Regarding current cost of living, I was wondering how accurate those of you currently living in Bs As would consider the data on expatistan.com to be (you can see a comparison with Lisbon here- http://tinyurl.com/6868nhd) I would really appreciate some feedback on this. Many thanks.

Thanks to everyone for the replies so far. My estimate regarding our earnings is the absolute minimum; we generally earn around 25-50% more but I'm trying to be conservative to get an idea of our standard of living in the worst possible case scenario. I understand that Argentina isn't...

Hello all, I currently live in Portugal and earn between €1000 and €2000 per month working freelance as a professional translator for European clients. My partner does the same so our yearly combined income is approximately €36,000 before tax/deductions so let's say around €30,000 net. We have...
