Banned from entry for 8 years

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 option for now solving the problem from overseas. Too many misreads here.

Indeed, I’ve never had any eligibility for any family visa. I’ve always entered as a tourist
 
I was writing this while the previous two were added to the thread:

Conclusion:

2 district immigration status'
Tourist status. vs Family Union status.

If entering Argentina to live with a partner ,,, you should never admit that (no matter how regular your tourist status). You're better off lying ,,,, using (abusing) the tourist status correctly to the tee ,,,, until such time you formalize Family Union status.

Can't mix and claim both Tourist and Family Union simultaneously at the same time .

One and only one status at a time

Now it is all clear, what went wrong.

Even though I completely agree with this, I do have one question for Vossos:

The immigration officer did inform me that marriage to an Argentine would allow me back before the ban end date (I did mention my argentinian partner and was on the phone to them to ask for advice). The officer was quite surprised when I pulled an engagement ring from my bag. Both a proposal and my birthday ruined this weekend.

Assuming that the immigration official asked you about the purpose of your visit, At what point did you say that you have an Argentine partner?

Was it before or after your entry was denied?

If it was before, there is little doubt that argiCanuk's conclusion is accurate.

If after, then the denial was likely because of your previous overstay and a "strict" enforcment of the latest decree and/or the feelings of the officer.

According to the following link
these are the most common reasons for being denied entry:
1. No matching visa for your intent (e.g. your intent is to work and you have a tourist visa)
2. Border runs and overstays
3. Bans (which are not always communicated to you, but you may find out when you try to reenter)

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 what Migraciones do or don't do around border runs and overstays, a little less confidence is probably warranted.

Next time you try to enter Argentina as a tourist with your partner engagement ring in your bag ,,,,, keep your advice to your self.

SHOCKING first post.
Left us wild guessing and speculating

BAexpats is above your accusations.

It was after. The only question I was asked at the standard immigration booth was the address where I was staying. I didn’t mention my partner until being informed I was being denied entry. And the only informing there was me calling them having being refused entry to ask for advice
 
Would I be disallowed to apply for a tourist visa at an Argentinian consulate I wonder?
