    No More Reciprocity Fee For Us Passport Holders

    Huh? That page is pretty clear that reciprocity is not required. Various news sources have reported on them the visa interview requirement.

    Yes, you would not have been allowed to board the plane without showing you paid the reciprocity. No problem now. And Uruguay does not have a visa fee for Americans.

    No More Reciprocity Fee For Us Passport Holders

    It's all a matter of where people are getting their stats from. This seems to be no longer true: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/424879/visa-overstays-todays-immigration-crisis-mark-krikorian

    No More Reciprocity Fee For Us Passport Holders

    This is the discrepancy of one country being a world power and one not. The number one cause of illegal immigration to the US is not people crossing the Mexican border (sorry Donald Trump), but people overstaying their visas. Macri rightly realized that the value of tourism dollars to Argentina...

    It Happened To Me. Visa Entry Problem.

    A long-term "irregular" British expat was denied entry at Ezeiza today. Luckily for him, he was able to call in some favors and was allowed into the country eventually.

    No More Reciprocity Fee For Us Passport Holders

    Looks like Obama and Macri got along really well... As of tomorrow, March 24, 2016, US passport holders no longer need to pay the U$S 160 reciprocity fee. Argentines under 16 and over 65 no longer have to go through the Visa interview process...

    Debit Withdrawal Fees

    That is not correct. Your issuing bank sets the exchange rate and international fees if any. The local bank could probably set maximum withdrawal amount and local fee, though every local fee I have seen is the same - USD $6. If you have a Visa debit card, you can look up the rate at...

    Debit Withdrawal Fees

    The rate is determined by your own bank, and don't forget you have to add in the fee that you are charged too.

    Debit Withdrawal Fees

    Schwab gives the Visa daily rate which you can find here - https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html Before the blue rate came into play Schwab was routinely refunding me over a hundred dollars a month. Never had an issue nor have I ever heard anyone...

    Yes, it's a U$S 6 fee for withdrawals of any amount up to the maximum. My Schwab card is $2400 pesos and refunds all ATM fees at the end of the month.

    Newbie 3 Xoom Questions

    Charles Schwab Bank is the best one to use here. They have no foreign currency fees and refund the ATM fees other banks charge. Still, US bank debit cards should work fine here. I know of people using Chase, Citibank and Bank of America with no problems (other than high fees). I put together a...

    Newbie 3 Xoom Questions

    The maximum withdrawal in Buenos Aires is $2000 pesos per transaction, but you can do that multiple times per day at the official rate of $12.96. And, Charles Schwab bank refunds all my ATM fees, so I do not have to worry about that. Still, even if you have to pay the $70 peso withdrawal fee...
