Can you still pay overstay fee at EZE?

This is exactly how to pay the fine at the airport (and this answer was better than mine!):

Go to the immigration office, get the paperwork, take the paperwork to the bank and pay the fee, go back to the immigration show receipt, the immigration will print more paperwork for you, take the paperwork to check-in, then go to the customs, when presenting your passport also present the paperwork (don't wait for them to ask for it). That is it.

If you leave on the last day of your current permit, and return the next day, it will look "obvious" to the border official that you are "abusing the toursit visa" and, althought it is unlikely that you would be denied reentry, you could be denied reentry. It haas happened to others on thier first visa run.

PS: The only reason that it would be necessary to wait unitl the "last day" to make a visa run would be if you already had a prorroga (90 day extension) of your original 90 day permit. The border officials cannot "override" a prorroga.

So, you could make a visa run, hoping to get a new 90 day permit at any time before your curent permit expires...and even return the same day...

...but f don't think it's worth the time, the expense, or the risk.

Hello all! Given how possibly complicated / expensive / uncertain the procedure of paying a fine in EZE is, would anyone recommend taking a weekend trip to Uruguay to exit and renew one's visa? My situation is that my flight in mid-January leaves 2 or 3 days after the 90 day window lapses. I've also read that I can get the visa renewed in-country, but that might also be quite the hassle as well.

I hope you get a chance to read through this thread:
