Uruguay for sure is better.

Great video. I heard today that to get residency in Uruguay it requires taking a bunch of vaccines. I had not heard this before. Can you confirm if this is the case? thanks.

It is a difficult choice. I have been to both countries. I think I like Mendoza better. Mountains and arid climate (Ut) were my home for almost 40 years. The stability of Uruguay is a factor but I guess a person could just leave if it gets too sketchy in Argentina. I do hope the new President keeps making huge improvements, Argentina has a lot more diversity in its people and is geography. Thank you!

Great video. I like the criteria you use and how you explain the cities. I’d love to see this evaluation of more cities in Argentina and Uruguay as we are headed there this fall.

Uruguay is x10 more expensive!!

Damn. It’s a tough choice. Both of them sounds enticing

Are you sure Argentina doesn't charge taxes on foreign pensions for residents?

Another consideration might be which is more likely to grant citizenship. What I have heard is that Argentina will eventually grant citizenship to long-term residents but Uruguay will not, even if someone follows all of their rules for eligibility.

Exactly! Argentina has a very time-saving path for citizenship.

Uruguay or Argentina: What is your opinion about which one is better? If you are interested in South America, check also our video about *the 10 cheapest big cities to retire in South America* here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWiIppWKeNbbqbA.htmlsi=oxpVqTR8w1AKJXoj

I don’t understand why these comparisons rarely talk about one of the most consequential factors: political stability. Argentina is a mess. Who in their right mind would ignore something with such a major impact on stability and peace of mind? It’s not simply about money.

We actually mentioned social issues in the first half of the video. It is true, Argentina is not the most stable country, however, this opens an opportunity for those who earn in stronger currency.

@@the_expat My apologies if this was discussed. I apparently missed it. Anyway, on the subject of currency, I’ve heard that in Argentina you can exchange currencies at more favorable rates in the black market. And while that might be tolerated, is it really a smart or viable long-term strategy? And does that in effect place you on the wrong side of the law? If someone wishes to relocate to another country, how can anyone suggest, with a straight face, that they should plan to conduct financial business that way? And to wrap up the conversation on ‘social issues’, there are many facets to that end. There’s the political mess that Argentines have brought unto themselves with their move toward authoritarianism, and there are financial factors such as inflation that is still running over 100% (when I last checked). It suffices to say that I think it should have weighed more heavily in your final analysis. But I now seeing that you have other videos featuring Argentina it begs the question: are you biased toward Argentina? Is that where you currently reside, or originally came from?

Perhaps I missed it but did you compare the interest differences between living in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Buenos Aires has so much more to offer architecturally and culturally than Montevideo. In fact some travel experts consider Montevideo to be somewhat boring in comparison.

Yes, we mentioned the huge difference in the social and cultural life between both cities. Montevideo (and Uruguay) is a very laidback place compared to the BAs

wrong data: Buenos Aires and Montevideo aren't similar in terms of security Buenos Aires with 2,8 homicides/100K inhabitants is the second safest capital in entire America, just behind Ottawa in Canada, Montevideo with 11,5 homicides/100K inhabitants is one of the most violent cities in South America and obviously insecures zones of Montevideo r more dangerous than Buenos Aires ones sorry, after watching first part of vid, I stoped keeping on watching, huge lack of true information....

Sorry man, TOTALLY WRONG ! You cannot compare Punta del Este with Mendoza, totally different, and you missed it. Punta del Este is where every Argentinian wants to be, and only very rich ones goes there. Hollywood actors and famous people visit Punta del este, and there is even a TRUMP TOWER. it's the Saint Tropez from South America, nothing to do with Mendoza. Cost of living is also WRONG! Uruguay is minimum 5 times more expensive than Argentina to live. I was October and November 2023 and everything was much expensive than in Europe. I guess products at supermarkets are much expensive than in Switzerland, where they are very expensive. Owning a car is very expensive in Uruguay, used car can be 10 times the price of USA, new can be 2 times, with oil much expensive in Uruguay than in Germany, Spain, France, and so on, like 2 dollars 1 litre, which in Argentina is many times cheaper. Not to mention Punta del este is on the Atlantic ocean with lot of beaches and surf lifestyle, nothing to do with Mendoza wines plantation. And then you compare Montevideo with Buenos Aires, a city with 1,5 millions in his metropolitan area with one that probably is near 20 million people. And yes, Montevideo is much expensive to live than Buenos Aires, many times, a restaurant is much expensive than Europe. But for 900 dollars you dont find this apartment there, I'm sure, 400€ you rent just a room. Mendoza can be for a normal retired, Uruguay is for rich people, retired or not.

I’m Argentinian and I would never in my life go to Punta del Este. Super expensive and horrible beaches. It’s just the place where Argentinians choose to do their money laundering since the 70s/80s. And when you say “there’s even a Trump Tower” that has to be the most Uruguayan comment ever.

@@adrianb3868 Wrong, I'm not Uruguayan. And the beaches in Punta del este are beautiful, something Mendoza has not. Even better than mar del plata or any location in Argentina. They were too cold for me for November, but in January it's OK. Brazil has much better beaches than Uruguay, off course, and many other places.

@@Corlione I never said you were Uruguayan, you just said a very Uruguayan thing, like claiming they have 4 World Cups. And I never said the beaches in Argentina were good, they are in fact a bit worse than in Punta del Este. You on the other hand, said every Argentinian wants to be there, which is false.
