Abandonar el pais for 10 days?

[abandonar]

So I overstayed my tourist visa. They did not say anything to me when I paid the fine, but the paper says I have to abandon Argentina for 10 days. My flight comes back in a couple days after 8 days. Am I going to have a problem?

I am also married to an Argentine and the tramites should be in process but there was nothing in my passport. that is why i got lazy about going to Colonia

I checked the search function but did not find anything. Which is weird, because I thought I had seen something awhile back on the subject.

Don´t leave the country if you don´t have to. You shouldn´t pay the fine, next time if you want to give money for free look for a homeless at street.

If you are married forget about immigration agents. You can apply right now for permanent residency of citizenship. Citizenship is easier, free of charge no lawyer needed in your case and it takes more or less 3 months.

I you are traveling for any other reason abroad, take with you your certificado de casamiento, nobody can deny your entry with this and an police address certificate.

If I understand correctly, you are now out of Argentina and you were given a paper that says you have to stay out of the country for ten days, but in a few days you will return after being out of Argentina for only eight days. I know the folks at migraciones can count to ninety, so they probably also know that eight is less than ten.

Do you have any proof (certificado de casamiento) that you can show upon reentry that you are married to an Argentine? If not, perhaps someone could fax a copy to you before you return.

If those who have overstayed their 90 day visas have to stay out of the country for ten days it is certainly going to end the "permatourist thing" of going to Colonia for a day, but at least they won't have to leave for six months as some had feared.

Are you sure the paper said you have to be out of the country for 10 days or you have to leave Argentina IN 10 days?

I also wondered about this, but if the fine was paid upon exiting the country why would it be the latter?

I don´t understand. Can you scan your passport, only the page we are talking about?

I needed to leave the country, so that is not the issue.

To be honest my wife looked into permanent residency and I think began the process, but I am not really sure. I am pretty sure that whoever she talked to gave her different information than what you just said...

I have my libretta with me that shows that we are legally married in Argentina, but I showed it to the guy before he made me pay the fine and apparently said I had to stay out of Argentina for 10 days. So...I dont know, it makes me a little less confident in what you are saying.

I think I said in the OP, but no one ever said anything to me about staying out of the country for 10 days. I just happened to see it because I was bored and read the details on the receipt of my fine.

it was not in the passport, only in the printed page that was the receipt for the fine i paid.

This was at Ezeiza, so Colonia might be a different story.

Don't know. I've just never heard of anyone being told to leave the country for 10 days. I've heard people being told they have to leave the country IN 10 days. Of course that doesn't mean it's doesn't exist & I guess since he was not reentering when he got that notice it probably is correct that he has to stay out 10 days.

Bajo_cero is correct, you can apply directly for permanent residency.
