Hi everyone, I just paid my overstay fee (habilitacion de salida) at Ezeiza Airport (EZE) so I thought I would leave a post here with info on the procedure as of December 2024, in case anyone else has to do it. There is conflicting information from different sources online so here is as much recent and relevant info as I can include.
Migraciones office:
Location: Terminal 1 Arrivals. Just past the Havanna and Open 25 HS! on the right.
Hours: Open 24/7
Cost (as of Dec. 2024): 40,000 pesos
Forms of payment: they accept credit card, but no mercado pago. That said, when I went, their cc processing wasnt working and I needed to go to Banco Nacional to pay with cash. I highly recommend bringing cash with you as a plan b.
Banco Nacional:
Location: Terminal 1 Arrivals. Just on the other side of the doors where passengers are exiting their flights. Follow signs for currency exchange (cambio)
Hours: open 24/7. This was a little confusing because there is a second, full service Banco Nacional in the airport that is only open 10am to 3pm. This currency exchange office where you pay the fine is open 24 hours, confirmed with the security guard at the bank.
Procedure: Tell the person at migraciones "necesito pagar la habilitacion de salida" and give them your passport. They will process you and ask for payment. You can pay there with credit card(if it's working that day) or go to Banco Nacional and pay with cash. If paying with cash, you will take a piece of paper to Banco Nacional and after paying they will ask you to sign in a few places on the paper. They will stamp the paper and give it back.
Return to Migraciones where they will print out another paper, and staple to it one of the receipts that you signed at the bank. Then you are good to go.
