Intelligent Or Stupid To Move To Ba Now?

[JamJam]

I'm a big fan of Indian food! Its pretty hard to get anything with spice in it here. But you can find some great things in China Town here.

Not sure what your tastes are like. Food is quite limited here, although you can eat well if you manage to track down the ingredients in China Town.

There are a few new restaurants popping up, so there is still hope!

Better open directly an Uruguayan account (in person) -it's possible to open an USD account in Uruguay-, takes one hour (once in Uruguay) and straightforward (no need for anyone to help you except to speak spanish, you just need the right papers mentioned in this forum): you'll pay the minimum fees, have more flexibility, get the best exchange rate USD/ARS.

You will be fine here if you can get paid in hard currency. Enjoy your time here.

Is it possible for an indian citizen to create an account in USA or Uruguay? seems like a nice idea.

Hi, Shoeb!

I am from the US, and I had an Argentine friend ask me the same question. This is the best reference as far as I know if you are considering opening up a US bank account:

Although the last time I checked the information was correct and up to date, there are many variables to take into account, just in case: Sometimes it depends on the relationship your country has with the US, the specific bank (I know many NRIs who have decided to use CitiBank because it has many branches all over the world), and simply the fact that (now more than ever), if something is true and accurate today, it may not necessarily be tomorrow!

In any case, if one decides that it is worth the investment to come and try to make it work in Argentina long term, it is unwise to hve all your eggs (especially financial ones) only in this basket!

Suerte!

Hi everybody !
I´ve just read everything, very interesting many thanks.

This is my situation : I´ve been living for 3 years in Spain, and now I have the opportunity to move to south America to be in charge of this market (argentina, brasil, chile..). If I move to BAs, I will obviously have to negociate a lot as the first proposal from my company is to pay me 100% in argentine pesos (appart from all the translation, visa and all interesting information you guys provided).

My question is : I have two options, be based in BAs or in Miami.
I think I´m more likely to feel good in BAs for personal reaons, but I´ve never been to Miami so it is just based on stereotypes. Does someone have some tips, point of view on that ?

Thanks a lot
