Moving to Argentina

[dwabner]

Hello fellow expats!

I've been lurking these forums for a while now and getting some great info. So I decided to make an account today and perhaps get some advice from you on my particular situation, which I think is a bit more uncommon.

I have recently graduated from UC Davis in economics, and am working here in the US, taking advantage of the prosperous economic climate at the moment to save for the move! My plan is to go for a Master's degree in Economics in Argentina and I have the schooling more or less sorted out at this point. My main question is, how easy is it to find a job in Argentina having some education and experience (banking)? I realize a lot of people have asked this in previous posts but my situation doesn't seem to align with most of what I have seen. I do not require visa sponsorship because I have dual citizenship with a Mercosur country. My Spanish is pretty decent too, while not perfect.

I am also trying to save about US$10,000 as backup while studying and looking for a possible job. Not accounting for income provided by my family because I would only take it during an emergency.

Thanks!

Does citizenship in A mercosur country afford you the right to live and work in Argentina?

Yes, we get to apply for residency, which grants us rights to work, open a business, etc. (for 2 years and renewable to permament residency), and I believe after two years we are able to apply for citizenship.

And vice-versa - Argentine citizenship gives you some rights in other Mercosur countries that you wouldn't otherwise have. This thread from 2014 touches on it a bit: https://baexpats.org/threads/benefits-of-argentine-citizenship-vs-permanent-residency.29477/

(Feel free to continue the discussion about benefits of citizenship there)

Thank you! That's a great resource for me

If you have not been here before and do not speak the language and do not have a solid means of income, I would suggest this is not the time. The waters here will be hard to navigate as they are now and it most likely will only get worse. But that is just my opinion perhaps your circumstances are different. If so enjoy!

Master's? Son, come live here and you will earn a PhD in economics. Welcome to the basket case, to the Keynesian Frankenstein mutant monster of economics.

People here are economically sodomized on a daily basis. No kiss on the neck. No foreplay. No lubricant. Nothing. It is the "black porn" of economics. No dialog. No story. Nothing. It is straight down to business.

And that while your looking into the black abyss with thoughts of Venzuala in the back of your mind.
