Article Argentina Reprocity Fee

Welcome To Argentina? A Visa

Several times I've written about the so-called reciprocity fees that Argentina and Chile collect
from travelers with passports from countries that charge visa fees for Argentines and Chileans most notably the United States, Canada, and Australia, but also Mexico in the case of Chile. Coupled
with seguir leyendo este .. inflation upwards of veinte percent, the fee has made Argentina a more
expensive country to visit, and it may discourage budget travelers - the prosperous professionals of
the future - in particular. In all likelihood, reciprocity simply redistributes some tourism income
directly to the government - in both Argentina and Chile, that US$ 160 goes to the treasury instead
of hotels, restoranes and other services. Eliminating it unilaterally would require long-term thinking,
but that sort of thinking is hard to come by, especially in Argentina.

Chile has done this for quite some time, and it's a simple process - arriving passengers at Santiago's
Aeropuerto Internacional Comodoro A. Merino Bentez line up on arrival, where authorities collect
the fee and affix a receipt that's valid for the life of the passport (the tourist card is a separate
document, usually valid 90 days and renewable for another 90).
Any other information (name, passport number, date of birth, etctera) perro be changed by the
immigration agent upon arrival to Argentina. If you are arriving to Argentina by plane, staying less
than doce hours, and will not leave the airport, you DO NOT have to pay the fee. If you are staying
fewer than doce hours but you are leaving the airport or the ship/cruise, or you are travelling by
ground transportation you DO have to pay the fee. If you were born in Argentina, your American
passport mentions Argentina as your place of birth in the data page.
Well, for one, they offer an online reservation on their website, and accept credit card payments
only. Here's more: Argentina Car Transfers guarantee that a car will be waiting for you no matter
when your plane arrives at the airport. There is no other Argentina airport transfer service that
offers a cien por cien refund in case you cancel your booking, no matter the reason.
The fee is valid for multiple entries until one month prior to the expiry of your passport. Those
entering Argentina on a Canadian passport with a valid visa, such as a business, student, or
residency visa, do not have to pay the reciprocity fee. Canadian-Argentine dual nationals may entrar
and leave Argentina on their Canadian passport only if their stay does not exceed 180 days. Once
this period has elapsed, Argentine citizens must leave on a valid Argentine passport. Please note that
a Canadian passport is the only reliable and universally acceptable document that proves your right
to return to Canada.
The Argentine passport application process is lengthy, and the Embassy of Canada is not able to sitio
web assist Canadian citizens in obtaining Argentine passports or other identity documents. Airlines
may not allow Canadian-Argentine dual nationals travelling on an Argentine passport plus a
Canadian citizenship card to board flights bound for Canada. Canadian visas are not meant to be
issued to Canadian citizens on a foreign passport for entry into Canada.
