What can you say about the golf situation in Argentina? BA specifically. Here's what I've been able to gather so far... Argentina has the highest number of golf courses of any Latin American country. Most importantly for tourists and actual or potential expats, apparently, some, many or all of the even exclusive private golf clubs seem to open theirs course to the public at least a couple days per week. And the green fees are only around $40 USD. Even the private clubs are hurting so bad from the economic situation that private doesn't even mean totally private. Although what non-wealthy Argentine could afford $40 to play a round of golf, or would golf in the first place. Can you verify this, or do an article about the golf scene in BA. Pretty certain that's the main hobby of the type of people reading your site.
Would it be foolish to get an Argentine passport considering the state of the country? I’m a US citizen but would be eligible through a parent. I don’t have a second passport.
I have been waiting for a decade plus to buy a small winery in Argentina. When i started looking the USD/ARs rate was 4 to 1.
The only thing holding me back is i knew the economy would collapse. Which i want to see how that plays out.
Do you think the government would get desperate enough and start taking foreigners land away or other assets? Are there other things i should consider before going balls deep?
My partner is Colombian and we have been looking at land there for similar reasons, but for a few reasons (mainly security & the new left wing government) we are widening the search. Are the Ley de Tierras laws relating to all foreigners, or do Mercosur citizens get an easier look in?
