I Was Denied Entry At Ezeiza

Agree 100%. It must be a complete formal legal procedure. I´d imagine, it´s like a swift court hearing on the spot at the Airport, with a verdict.

But it´s his discretion to initiate and start the process .. or .. look the other way. No?

No.

You also get comments from someone who's "got dozens of Argentine (and Chilean) stamps in my passport" without indicating if there was a single overstay as well a link to an irrelevant thread about a land scam in Chile that usurped the name of a fictional location ("Galt's Gulch") in a novel (Atlas Shrugged) written by Ayn Rand, but that's an example of what self-absorbed internet trolls/Saul Alinsky soldiers are experts at.

To overstay and to do the colonia run are equally illegal.

To overstay is honest under the eyes of the immigration agents.

But what about the three strikes rule? Some people say they have more than 3 overstays... I think I already know what your answer will be.

That rule is only in your imaginación, the same than the whole "permanent-tourist" self lie: it is illegal immigration.

Something called "pacífic precedents of Supreme Court since 1828" says that if you are in Argentina and your will is to live here, you have the right to stay, leave and enter the country". The 2000 stamps in your passport is against the rules that protects you according to the laws of THIS country.

I thought there was no such thing as illegal immigrants in Argentina, only irregular immigration status.

Seems there are fewer and fewer perms-tourists anyway so I would imagine it really is a tempest in a teacup. Sorry to the OP, best of luck to getting your stuff squared away.

Illegal means against the law. Lawyers use the term irregular to make a difference with criminality . You are not a criminal for being an illegal inmigrant.

No.

Please. just to clear my head and set me straight No means :

It´s NOT a complete formal legal procedure on the spot at the Airport ?
OR
It´s NOT his discretion to initiate and start the process ?

Many many thanks as always.

The "three strikes rule" and the belief that the Uruguay "visa runs" keep a foreigner "legal" are both "urban legends" that have taken root in the expat community...the later much more so than the former.

I realize that some expats do not want an "overstay" to appear in their passport, thinking that might affect their entry into another country. but it carries no weight with the country in which they want to "legally" stay in: Argentina.

It hasn't been mentioned in this thread, but, in another thread, someone posted that a foreigner loses any right he/she has to stay (aka live) in Argentina when they leave the country, even for a day trip to Uruguay. Dr. Rubilar can confirm this. I believe he was actually the one who made this point in the first place.

Soccer people don't even have a clue as to what striking out means.

So, anybody who's ever traveled on Buquebus can never live in Argentina. They'll always be welcome at the Gulch, though: http://tinyurl.com/l9te9mz
