Colonia runs as of May 2024

Would love an update from anyone who has gone to Colonia on a day trip recently. Looking to do a 90 day renewal for tourist visa (1st one).

Don’t do it. Migraciones doesn’t like the shtick. Better to just pay the overstay fine when you leave.

Update: very nice trip everything smooth and migraciones was super helpful.

Despite the recent cost of living issues in Argentina, we appreciated that ice cream in CABA is still 70% less than Uruguay

Appreciate the advice in any case dlish.

Agreed. If anything these days I’d advise anyone to avoid doing the 90day run - it seems to annoy them more then people who overstay and just pay the fine from the few people I’ve heard have problems.
I’m on my 5th overstay and not had a single thing raised at immigration yet on exit or entry

How long is your longest overstay ?

Just short of a year - the rest of them being between 6-9 months.

I used the Colonia trip in February or something this year and left Argentina April 1st without so much as an eyebrow raised by Immigration.

So whoever did have trouble with that, some more concrete stories would be helpful.

I extended tourist visa in January, went to montevideo for 1 night in March and left Argentina in June. No problems.
