Personally I've been shocked by the callous racism towards the virus itself. I mean it's a living thing after all and trying to make its way in this harsh, cruel world. Yet we're so quick to stamp it out of existence. I've lost a lot of faith in mankind.

lol, the Land of Smiles is pretty sweet but with a few more perks, Argentina could surpass it as a rootless cosmopolitan refuge.

True, but those 2 countries can get away with it cause they are extremely desired. Eritrea is especially underrated. I rank it at 4th best country to live in. 6. Argentina 5. South Africa 4. Eritrea 3. Thailand 2. Saudi Arabia 1. USA USA

An Argentinian can get a tourist visa to Spain, vacation there for a few weeks and use that to declare to AFIP that they are no longer a resident? Wouldn't his return be recorded by immigrations and checked by AFIP? Here's an idea - Argentina needs a worldwide tax on citizens.

I'd think you would not notice it so much from the US side cause they'd get distributed throughout the larger population over 20 years. But I'm wondering how noticeable it is from Argentina's side, e.g. is there a shortage of doctors, engineers compared to before 2000?

Ah the sneaky photo caption. 1 million out of 40 million seems very wrong. 2.5% emigration is an exodus. I'm thinking they are counting people who left on tourist visas. Matches with the 222k tourist visas given out by the US consulate. You have to assume 95% of those return.

Where do you see the 212k figure? I think net immigration into the US is about 1 million a year. Certainly not 1/5th of those are from Argentina! I see this 222k tourist visas. Probably a significant number overstay and work off the books but not more than 20%! "Solo confirman que la tasa de...

Wow 212K from a population of 40M is incredible. I'd imagine most of it would be family re-unification type visas. Seems every other person I meet in every part of the world has a relative in the US. Where did the 212,400 figure come from?

Interesting, seems you have to buy a business for 100-150k but you can finance up to 30% of it. People probably buy Dunkin Donut type franchises or set up a laundromat and exaggerate their expenses by 50%.

How significant do you think the brain drain has been from Argentina to Chile, Brazil, Spain, Italy, USA during the past 20 years?

Thank you. A lot of good info here. Do you know roughly what the prices would be in the other provinces you mentioned? I guess that the farther you get from BA, the more your transportation costs as the big markets are in BA or taken to Rio De La Plata ports for export. That's funny about the...

Do you have experience in ranching mc kenna?

Good question. I would be interested in a Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina comparison for cattle-raising caliber level land. In the US, it's outrageously expensive.

Hello Dougie, Very true, these conditions should not be considered temporary. I read some news that raising cattle in Argentina is no longer profitable due to these restrictions and taxes. Another difference might be property tax. In Paraguay for rural land, it would be less than 1/10th of a...

Hello all, not sure if this is the correct sub-forum. I came across some land in Formosa that is selling at about $340/hectare. The price seems extremely low especially when compared to neighboring Paraguayan land. The Argentinian land seems to be about 1/3rd the price of land in Paraguay Chaco...
