Hey everyone, I am aware that this is _BA_ expats, but this is the most helpful expat forum I have found, so I am asking here :) Has anyone here been to/lived in Costa Rica, before/after being to/living in Buenos Aires? How did it compare? What does each lack that the other offered? Is it...

I completely understand that, and I am grateful :) As far as my visa situation - I'm still hopeful that I find come across or otherwise invent an idea that will allow me to generate the required revenue needed for the passport. Question: If we are generating say, $1000/month - is that per...

This will be the last response on the subject from me. We have gotten very far off-topic. I didn't ask if I should be moving to Argentina, I asked how. In response to you, syngirl: "with your last post you've revealed that you really can't learn it all on the internet" You just proved yourself...

Because that's way too shady. I don't have any desire to get into the Country through a "back-door" - If they don't let me in, I wont come in. That said, I'm sure there are still options (other than accepting the live of a tourist, which isn't nearly as appealing as a resident)

There's good and bad everywhere, such is the way of the world. Right now, I am doing research (and have been doing for a few weeks now) - I'm not one to jump into things without testing the waters first, but I'm also not one to be scared into inaction due to the "unknown." In the net-enabled...

Thanks for your concern, Fishface. I'd still like to hear how others moved to Argentina while retaining their U.S. Job.

That would be superb. :)

If I am "he" then no - I'm not a freelancer. I work full-time for a company, but I work from home as a front-end web engineer.

If I was a bachelor, I might be tempted to do this illegally (lie) - but I can't afford to mess this up with my family in tow. Thanks for the suggestions, though :)

Yes sir :( (Y lo siento, no, no hablo español - No se supone que es una "C" - es un juego de la palabra "valedictorian" en relación con estándares web)

Sounds like fun, I'm in! (but I'm not in BA for another 6 or so months :( )

that's a good idea, but I don't own any property :) Have any other ideas, anyone?

Alright, well can you give me any tips on what sort of investments people usually have that bring in $1000/month?

I recently contacted ARCA, and they aren't being very helpful. They insist that I must be making $1,000/month from investments or my own business before I can go there. That's with the Financier Visa. I don't own my own business, though. I'm only 23, and I'm not planning on retiring (at least...

Do they have the NuvaRing in Argentina? That's what my wife used, and it didn't make her... ah... crazy, like the other birth control's did.
