Talk to me like I'm super new to this. What do I need to do in Uruguay to keep my tourist visa? Will I need to be legit to buy a car, sign a long term rent agreement, sign up for healthcare or get married in Argentina? Could not being legit interfere with my girlfriends visa application(to the...

Soon, I'm going to start a good paying job working remotely with US clients. I just moved to Argentina, although I'm technically just here on a tourist Visa. What do I need to know to navigate the issues of visas, money transfers, and taxes? Is anyone else in a similar position and willing to...

To the same degree as the situation is mixed up at present? No, it likely won't be the same. The same but to a lesser degree? Probably yes in my view. I first came to Argentina 18 years ago and while things weren't terrible, basic living was still about a third of the price of living in the US...

PS. Since we're talking about my financial future. I'm also heavily considering retiring back to Argentina after raising kids in the USA. In no small part because I'm hoping that investing even whatever amount I can manage to build up in these last years will pay enough in dividend/interest to...

That's a fantastic testimonial! I'm so glad you've found someone who works so well for you! And you're absolutely right that there seems to be no correlation between how good someone is and how much they're charging. The best therapist I've ever met wasn't even a therapist. For good or ill, I...

Thanks!

I've been paying in for quite a few years, it's just that the amounts have been low. I think SSA depends on the 10 highest earning/paying in years correct? So as long as I get in those high paying in years it won't eventually matter that I payed in little the other years(as long as I payed in)...

I'm going to be getting my licence to practice as a therapist in the states very soon and will be working remotely with the hopes of building up a private practice. So I will have to be paying those self-employment taxes at some point unfortunately.

I appreciate the honesty! I definitely squandered a lot of time but I also am in a decent position to recover, I think, since I should be able to start pulling in 6ish figures(in dollars) soon while living frugally spending pesos. I appreciate the reminder on the ol biological clock as well...

To clarify, I'm 38 years old and not thinking about retiring any time soon. I'm very behind on saving for retirement(and paying into SSA) actually and am hoping to do some catch up while living in AR and earning dollars for a while. Moving to the US in a few years would be for exactly the reason...

What about getting her a US green card later following all the rules?

My Argentine girlfriend and I are thinking about getting married and am wondering what things we should be taking into consideration as we choose the location. Tentatively, we're thinking about living in Argentina for a few years to save up as I work remotely and then possibly moving to the...

I lived in Argentina for two years before, know the culture, and speak the language. So I'd just be returning. Also, while I'm sure that there are some issues unique to and associated with being an expat living in Argentina, most people have a lot of other factors going on in their lives that...

Imagine that remote clients would, but locals would likely be private pay? How do locals pay for local therapy in Argentina?

Hi all! I recently finished a masters degree in psychology as well as a therapy internship. My next step would be getting my LMHCA. I'm also considering moving to Argentina. Is there anyone on here who does remote tele-therapy with US clients while living in Argentina? Would there be demand...
