"Expats in Argentina often find the language barrier to be one of the most challenging aspects of the local culture. Additionally, the country's bureaucracy and paperwork can be difficult to navigate for those who are not familiar with the system. Furthermore, the Argentinean way of life can be quite different from what expats are used to, and adjusting to the local customs and traditions can be a challenge. Finally, the cost of living in Argentina can be high, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," remarked another expat who made the move to Argentina.
