Portugal has a D7 visa - minimum passive income threshold EUR 820 per month. Two years, renewable. After 5 years can apply for permanent and within 5-10 years for citizenship if well integrated. Living in or near Lisbon or Porto would more than likely be too expensive. However, if living in the...

Book a flight from GRU, GIG or SCL and a separate flight from Argentina to there. Business class tickets from those countries are literally a fraction of those originating in Argentina.

Here is an article from iProfessional from 3 months ago based on a study by the firm Michael Page (who I would give a lot of credibility that they know what they are actually talking about) that goes into more details about current senior level salaries in Argentina. This may help the OP...

For comparison a pretty average senior manager / director level salary at a mid size Argentine company generally runs anywhere between USD5000-USD10000ish per month. The basic total living expenses for a professional couple living in a nice building in a nice neighborhood and doing a fair share...

It’s exactly this yet the discussion is always the same, people convincing themselves that if things are less comfortable for them personally then they are suddenly less comfortable for everyone. We tend to go great lengths to exemplify how much a specific item that is relevant to us costs to...

Curious to see the stats on tourism spend of Mercosur (excluding Brazil) versus rest of world. I am under the impression they are are high volume low yield while RoW is lower volumes high yield (due to greater spend on hotels on tourism activities, not just heading to the closest market or...

Here is some historical data for context: https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/rating In the past 20 years Argentina only had a positive Moody's outlook at 4 moments... it doesn't mean much if anything against the test of time other than another "up" in never-ending rollercoaster is probably...

The reality is that high margins reflect high external risk faced by businesses in Argentina and low confidence thanks to a century of undisciplined politics that change the whole playingfield on a whim. One should always remember that when one sells something they produce today, one needs to...

If you have an Argentine USD bank account (eg Santander) you can buy MEP via the home banking app or third party apps like Cocos Capital, Astro Pay and even MercadoPago (“Ver más” - “Tu dinero” - “Dolares”) etc to buy and sell MEP. Astro Pay issues virtual Visa debit cards in USD (issued in the...

Firstly, the MEP is nothing new. Secondly, why would the MEP still be relevant if / when the CEPO is lifted? How would 1 USD in Argentina be worth any less than 1 USD in the UK, UAE or Singapore? Don’t like or trust the jurisdiction your dollar is in, you move it in the click of a button to...

For the past few years a few private banks already issue U.S. issued credit cards (e.g. Amex platinum or centurion) for their Argentine customers who can pay them locally via CCL. This year a few fintech companies are also starting offering Argentine customers U.S. issued credit, debit and...

Bring a good book to pass the time.
