    My experience extending tourist visitor visa - Ask Me Anything (AMA)

    No difficulty at all at the immigration office at the airport. I paid in cash at the bank. Immigration first gives you the paper to take to the bank. Then you return to the immigration with the receipt to get another printout. Then you need to show that paper at the check-in and then at the...

    My experience extending tourist visitor visa - Ask Me Anything (AMA)

    My experience with overstay: I went to the immigration at the airport. The fee was 12500 pesos regardless of the duration. Paid the fee at the bank and went back to the immigration and got the printout. Checked in and went to the customs. The lady was a little confused and asking questions about...

    Thanks for the reply. So currently the fine is 12.5 UMSM no matter how long one overstays. That is good to know.

    My experience extending tourist visitor visa - Ask Me Anything (AMA)

    I searched and searched but could not find the answer anywhere. If the overstay is more than 2 years, what is the fine currently? The immigration site say 12,5 UMSM for Extra Mercasur but doesn't say anything about the timeline. Should I assume the double that? Also not sure if the covid...

    Any change on entrance requirements to argentina?

    This is a very unfortunate thinking in my opinion. The cases will go up in Argentina as well in the winter. Even the boosted people are getting COVID. Many people with COVID are not taking official tests, since most recover in a week or less. The unknown question is how many of them will suffer...

    Western Union money transfer

    Thanks for the reply but I am not sure the number 1 explains it. They just paid me more than they can possibly charge when selling using the current blue rate.

    Western Union money transfer

    I made a transfer earlier in the month, and had to wait couple days. I made a transfer this week, the money was available right away which has been the most common experience for me. Changing the subject. How does WesternUnion make a profit when I pay zero fees and they give me better than...

    WU 205.4 today while Dolar Blue website shows much lower numbers. But the weird thing is it said the money will be available for a cash pickup on the 12th. Usually it is the same day for me.

    COVID

    When I got sick recently, I didn't get tested I just assumed it was a good idea to stay away from others and stay home. I had 102 fever the first day but it went away the second day, I felt muscle aches and chills. I was much better on day 3. I rested 3 more days just in case. I say you don't...

    Overstay Fine/Fee

    No worries, I will take more than enough cash with me. I am sure there will be great opportunities at the airport to spend the leftover if there is any. Thank you all for your helpful replies.

    Deposit for Rentista Visa

    Interesting. Can you tell us how? What are the steps? What do you need? For example do you need tourist visa that is not overdue? DNI? CUIL?

    Overstay Fine/Fee

    I guess I need to make my question a little clearer. I am not worried about the money, but the logistics. I entered the country in January of 2020. Will they ask me to pay 2+ year fee or less than 2 year fee? So I know how much peso to bring with me. I guess I will bring enough for 2+ years just...

    Overstay Fine/Fee

    Has anyone recently left the country and paid the overstay fee? I want to know if immigration knows not the count the months where the government was automatically extending the tourist visa? Or do you have to somehow remind them or convince them to recalculate the overstay amount?

    Western Union money transfer

    Maybe you can send a screen shot so we can see what the problem is. Usually you go to the history, under one of the transactions click EDIT. Then you can click on "I have a promo code".

    When I move here what special things should I bring that are hard to get?

    If you can bring lots of crisp 100 dollar bills, and all the electronics you can carry is pretty much all you need to bring. The rest depends on you as in what you really need to use. For example, I sleep with Breath Right at night. They don't have them in Argentina any more due to Covid and...

    Has anybody done 23andme test from Argentina?

    No these companies do not share data with any law enforcement. The law enforcement has to get a court order for a specific individual's data, and even then that said individual or the DNA sharing company might appeal it. What you probably heard was that a rape kit containing the DNA of Golden...
