Maybe try to bring a bunch of goods down here that can be sold for a lot more due to import taxes etc(think iphones, laptops, cameras). There is a "Buenos Aires Expat Hub" group on facebook which I found very helpfull to setup here.

How do I make contact with the poker community down here? Are there any regular meetups?
The poker community it's quite small so there are not regular meetups. I know leopeluca and CHIQUIDEALER, both great online poker players. They play every CAP and some thursdays (MTT both) at Puerto Madero Casino.

Same here, please guys I would really like to know how is the live cash game poker in Buenos Aires and in other cities of the country too. What are the limits, number of tables running, general level of players...

I honestly wouldn't play poker in Argentina for any type of real money, when I was living there two years ago in Cordoba there was a lot of aggressive crime over very little money (holding up a corner shop, holiday break ins). You'd have to feel really good about the circumstances (even in a casino) to want to do something like having a bunch of cash out in the open.

From what I hear, things have only gotten worse too, BA should be worse than where I was too. Asking for trouble IMO.

Is anyone from this thread still there? This thread went from extremely popular to a ghost town. Has BA changed that much for the worse in the last 5 years or is it more just a function of 2+2 losing traffic and poker becoming far less popular?

Hello everybody!

We are two French poker players (one is a pro since few years and one wants to become a pro). We spent 2 months in Colombia and 1 month in Perú and our goal is to find an appartment for 2 months in Buenos Aires (Argentina) to play online and enjoy the city! Let me know if interested to be our roommate.

Hola a todos!
Somos dos franceses que juegan al poker (uno es pro desde hace años y el otro, que soy yo, quiere ser pro). Hemos pasado 2 meses en Colombia y 1 mes en Perú y nuestro objetivo es de compartir un piso durante 2 meses en Buenos Aires y jugar online disfrutando tambien de todo lo que ofrece esta bonita ciudad! Contactarme si estás interesado para ser nuestro compañero de piso en esta aventura.

Kevin

Do you know what the current state of online poker is in Argentina?

I've found it very hard to find info about tax and what is/isn't allowed and I don't see many players from Argentina on stars

Ok, a few things here to dissect : the 2 year thing is... not really a thing!!! If you have money, the best way to get your residency (which you would need to get before envisioning getting your citizenship/Argentinian passport), it to hire an immigration lawyer (about 2-3k USD$ for the whole process, I can recommend an excellent one). If you do not want to pay the latter/want to do it on your online, you better have a steady source of income from your country that is not poker... I do not think that any Argentino poker player pay any taxes, tbh. GL and fire away/send me a DM if you have more questions (in French, English or Spanish ).

No choice, so i gonna write my 3rd posts now
I lived 2 months in Mtl in 2022, Picnic festival and Stéréo club <3

SO, just in paying an immigration layer, it's enough to get an argentinian passeport + 1years and 1 day spend in Argentina.
It sounds weird to not pay taxes

What are your intentions in going to Argentina??? Is getting a passport essential for you? I ask, because Argentina is unlike many/most countries in the sense that you can leave there for years without a visa, like I did (I just got my residency a couple of months ago after living there for 4 years and a half) and many others have...

But anyhow, to answer your question : an immigration lawyer will look into a way to get residency/citizenship for you. Which would most likely imply proving/creating a source of steady monthly income for you to provide to immigration (and getting a bank account with monthly deposits etc.).

I read that we can get their passport just by residing 2 years, so my goal is to know conditions to be resident.

Ok, better to check it out first in order to see if you like it... The economy of the country has been crashing at unprecedented rates since the pandemic and it is in the midst of its worse every crisis!!!

You would have to check with your lawyer, but you might have to create a business or a trust fund, for example.

Better to spend money and time in a bio shop, and there is many of them
To eat in a good place, you need to spend minimum 100$

I am a foodie and absolutely love Lima, Peru and stop just about every time on my way down to Argentina ; it would rank Montreal in one of the top foodie cities (like top 20), but have had time to explore it. Other known foodie destinations like Rome, Paris, I was unimpressed with, but would need to explore again with a loved one as opposed to as a solo traveller...
