Goodness... that puts all of my silly little posts about visas into perspective. I think you did very well to keep focused and rational. I don't know what I would do, but I hope I wouldn't play the hero; as Falstaff remarked in Henry IV Part 1 - honour is simply a word. Hope you and your...

He He... This is happening to me a lot.. I am bringing a North European perspective to a South American culture. This is why I am taking time to live in South America- three ex-wives have told me that I am too much hard work and bordering on the anal retentive; feedback that I at least...

Thanks for this. So effectively there is provision within the law to stay in one entry year 210 days...? 90+30+90. I entered Argentina on 13 January 2014 I left on 24 February 2014 to Brazil A total of 43 days I re-entered Argentina on 17 May 2014 This coming Friday I would have done 90...

So I gave more thought to this whilst I was at the gym. Let me test my assumptions here... The legislation is very clear around 90 days stay for a tourist on a tourist visa and is very clear that the tourist has a right to extend this for a further 90 days in any one given year (defined from...

Thank you - you seem to be very knowledgeable about (what seems a rather misintrepretable law... indeed even my own country seems to misrepresent the law on their website for advice to nationals travelling to Argentina). I have never renewed my visa. So effectively I could go downtown and...

But there is a 180 day rule - the tourist can stay 180 days in a given year. What this forum seems to suggest is that doing the 'visa run' in order to have a renew in your passport might make you feel good but if you stay over 180 days you still effectively violate the conditions of your visa...

Sorry I didn't make this one.. something came up (Latin American phone calls.. enough said). Will like to attend one in the future as you seem a nice group of people (and I love apple crumble)...

OK.. Yours is a voice of reason. At least if I pay at the airport, I have recognised my actions and paid the fine (and it only cost me 300 pes)... and I go on the day knowing what to expect and what to do; whereas, if I go to Colonia it will cost me 60 dollars AND I still overstay the 180...

Did you go for just a few hours?

I was meant to buy my ticket today to get the SEACAT and go to Uruguay tomorrow.. but I really don't know what to do. I have an apartment here and it is paid for and I do not want any problems at immigration by not being able to get back into the country. I spent 40 days in BA in January and...

Thank you. Helpful. What exchange rate did you achieve in Uruguay? It definitely seems worth buying some dollars there and selling them in Florida Street...?

Hi all. Thanks for all your advice concerning my day trip to Uruguay. I was at the offices in Av Cordoba today and these were the best prices quoted for me for a day trip to Colonia from Buenos Aires from Monday to Friday. Buquebus Best Price $79 USD Departure (Mon-Fri) 12:15 BA Return (same...

Count me in.. I'll swing by.

Thanks.. so in summary for it to be cost effective I need to go via Colonia Express, get the mid-day crossing, and eat a hearty breakfast. Fellow BAexpats your advice, as ever, has been top notch. Thank you.

Thanks. I will go on Monday. This might seem like a silly question but are you allowed to take your own food with you (drink.. sandwiches etc). I want to keep costs down on this project :-)

Thank you. Where is the ticket point and ferry departure for Colona express? Cheers!

Thanks for your reply. I will look into the Seacat option (it it is just by the Buquebus terminal you say?) Their quoted USD exchange rate was 8.2. You think I can get a better rate than that if I exchange Pesso for USD in Florida Street? Thanks again....

I was at Buquebus terminal today because I want to go on a day trip to Colonia (actually because I want to renew my 90 day visa ). Many people told me this costs about $50 USD and I weighed up my options of updating my passport stamp officially in Argentina for $400 ARG (and long queues)...

I can't see how much the tickets cost for the concerts at the National Library. Are they free? What do you do... just turn up? Thanks for any insights :-)

I went today to the Colon ticket office but they had "sold out". I got there at 12.00 so I think they must have had only a few tickets. They told me I must go to the venue on the day concert at 12:00 to pick up my ticket from there. Seems too much of a headache. I was at the concert on...
