Obtaining student residence after prórroga expired

[laud]

Hello everyone,

I got admitted to a maestría in UBA and am about to ask for temporary residency. However, my prórroga on my tourist visa has expired (I thought I would get the papers before, but UBA offices close for the whole of January, which means I get the papers after).
Does anyone know whether I can ask for residency while overstaying in the country? Or should I pay the fine and reenter explaining that Im about to get residency?

Thanks!

did you apply for the residency using the documents you did have, and if so, did you get a precaria? pending receipt of the final documents

I cant even apply for precaria yet, because to do so i need the number on my constancia de inscripción and I cant get that yet through UBA.

Seems to me you should just apply for residency when you can and not exit/re-enter the country. If there's some kind of overstay payment due when you apply for residency, worry about it then.
