Moving to Argentina | Emigrating to Argentina
Moving to Argentina: The South American country attracts expats from all over the world with its unbelievable diversity. This applies to the people, the landscape and the culture.
From tropical wetlands in the north, to dry deserts and majestic mountains, to impressive salt flats in the middle of the country, and icy glacial areas to the south – anyone heading to Argentina will discover an incredibly diverse country. They will find that 13,000,000 of the 43 million inhabitants live in the capital of Buenos Aires.
Since about 85% of the inhabitants of Argentina are of European origin, it is often relatively easy for expats to integrate into the society of their new home. Most Argentinians can trace their heritage back to European countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and England, as well as countries such as Poland and Croatia. Therefore, it should be relatively easy to find some home comforts in your new home country. Argentinians generally represent very friendly, open and warm people.
In terms of the cost of living, Argentina is markedly cheaper than many wealthier European countries such as Switzerland. This is one of the reasons why many retired German-speaking people often move to Argentina to enjoy their twilight years.

Languages
People that want to move to Argentina should be able to speak Spanish, at least to a basic level. This will make their everyday and professional lives so much easier to navigate.
Although English is spoken by many people in Argentina, its distribution cannot be compared with that in Europe or other countries of the world, which, incidentally, can be said for the entire South American continent. Of course, knowledge of Spanish also helps you to get to know the people of Argentina better and to discover the impressive culture that will surely fascinate you. It is probably one of the reasons why you have decided to move to Argentina.
Health & Education
Argentina’s health care system is to a decent enough standard and is a convincing factor in why people move there. The right infrastructure is in place and the country’s health care system is free of charge. Although, it is definitely advisable to take out private health insurance, as this is more likely to result in a similar level of treatment as people enjoy in Switzerland.
For expats with families, there are numerous international and German schools in the regions of Buenos Aires and San Carlos de Bariloche in the province of Rio Negro. This is partly because they are very beautiful regions of Argentina and that there are many German-speaking expats located there. So if you still want to have regular contact with other people from Switzerland, Austria and Germany after moving to Argentina, you should consider relocating to one of these two regions.
Working in Argentina
If you move to Argentina as a result of a career change, then you have a particularly good chance of finding a suitable employer if you want to work in the service sector. Of course, you will need to meet the necessary conditions.
New talents are constantly being sought after in the areas of IT and financial services, as well as in software programming and in the agricultural sector. There are also opportunities to find an attractive job in many other areas due to the presence of various international companies in Argentina, particularly in Buenos Aires. This, of course, becomes all the more likely if you have a good education.
