I wonder how these numbers apply to Argentina. Spain has a more stable economy and many are leaving here to go there.
73% of the expats stated here don't make it past 2 years, especially surprising is the fact these folks were making good money (average salary of 180k and not your brokemads). Numbers are probably even higher than for general population.
Good news is the 27% who did make it have this in common:
They Came Prepared
- Average preparation time: 18 months
- Spanish language level at arrival: B2 minimum
- Local support network: Established before arrival
- Financial buffer: 40% above estimated costs
