    Don't worry about it. So far, Arge has commented on three things and misread all of them. First by saying you said you didnt pay the overstay fee, which you did (and how can anyone not pay it?). Second by saying your mistake was claiming family reunion (which you didn't do and never occured to...

    It seems clear from the video that what happened to Vos happens routinely. Lesson: there are vast quantities of foreigners entering the country every week who are NOT members of BA Expats and whose experiences do not get reported here. (Who would have thought?) So next time someone asks about...

    Vos did not say he/she was entering to live with someone; on the contrary, they knew he/she had an onward ticket in two weeks. And the overstay fee had been paid. And Vos didn't mix the two status: the Family Reunion question has only been raised now, by Steve, helpfully trying to show Vos an...

    Fear not. Bajo-Cero is currently online and is no doubt about to tell us all we and our friendly neighborhood AIs have no idea what we are talking about and will probably tell you what your options are.

    I asked my friendly neighbourhood AI (paid version) the following: Someone has reported being denied entry at Ezeiza and has had their passport stamped with an 8-year entry ban. They report seeing a document produced by Migraciones that says: “prohibicion de reingreso” from “coincidencia en la...

    I agree, it would never occur to me to do it, but poor old Vos, if we go back and look at his/her 2025 thread, he/she was looking for advice on what to do, and people were confidently advising him/her to 'just overstay/no brainer' etc.

    Many people (milongueros, foreign spouses who don't want residency) spend 180 days here on the tourist visa, rolling year in rolling year out. One overstay could lead to an eight-year interruption, if this case proves not to be a one-off.

    That is alarming then. Seven stays (six of them regular and all of those well short of even the 90 days) over a four-year period (not a particularly intense program by many visitors' standards), but hung for the one overstay (albeit a long one).

    From posts on an earlier thread that you initiated, it seems your long (over)stay was from early 2024 to mid 2025, and you reported having visited around 5 times prior to that, beginning in 2022. Since the long stay, you've come once, for two weeks in February, and now this attempted entry. It...

    Cash/effectivo, credit card, mercado pago 2026

    Whatever you do, remember that the more you transact electronically and the greater the amounts you spend electronically, the more visible you become to ACRA. While that is not a problem in the first year of your Rentista, you will quickly fall into tax residency after that, which creates...

    Leaving and retuning Argentina during the Rentista Visa process?

    Paige is correct. You cannot be outside the country around the expiry date of each precaria. Migraciones won't renew it if the system shows you overseas. And since you will probably need various precaria renewals while they assess your Rentista, and you can't predict how many days each precaria...

    Argentina is better than Australia

    It's a strange thread topic, but I will chime in: one of my several recurring nightmares is one in which circumstances (e.g., a health scare, or anything really) force me back there permanently. And every time I go back, there IS a culture shock. In 15 years away, it's changed enormously, and so...

    50th Anniversary of the 1976 coup

    Everybody who contributes to the threads on this issue, from all sides, hopes the number is closer to 10,000 than to 30,000. Right? Nobody in this or similar threads goes out looking for evidence that the higher estimates are correct (say the CIA report from 1977 of 22,000) and then looks for...

    Information about Rentista VISA

    Once we've been in Argentina on even a temporary resdiency for 12 months, unless we've stayed out of the country for 90 days during that 12 months, we"re tax residents from that pount forward. That's what the law says. It's been thoriughly researched and documented and notified on this website...

    Information about Rentista VISA

    The more I think about it, I would go so far as to suggest that even if another poster here reported "yes, they made me count all my family members in calculating the amount" or "no, it was sufficient to only cover the adults", or any other formulation someone has been successful with, that...

    Information about Rentista VISA

    I went the Rentista route once, using a rented property. It took three years for them to approve it, but that was mainly due to Covid disruption. Still, historically, it has been the slowest, most complex category they deal with. With a family of five, you may find they ask for an amount equal...

    Argentina, the ultimate refuge

    You might like this as well. As the nuclear fallout cloud made its way south in January 1959, Sinatra was in Melbourne for a couple of concerts (with the Red Norvo Quintet) that coincided with the shooting of the movie and allegedly had a passionate fling with his former wife, Ava Gardner.

    Applying for residencia before tourist visa expires - need extension?

    By the way, one of the migration practices has put out this. It claims that anyone who obtained permanent residency prior to 29 May 2025 is not subject to the one-year rule, by which permanent residency is lost if one remains out of the country for more than 365 days. In other words, those...

    Applying for residencia before tourist visa expires - need extension?

    They invite you (I think by email, if the system asked you for an email address--my information is a bit out of date on that detail though) for an appointment at Migraciones to which you have to bring the original documents. If they are satisfied with everything you present, they take a photo...
