If you over stay your tourist visa..the penalty is quite small..and can be paid within minutes at the airport (on your way out).
If you do the Uruguay run every 3 months... you can spend the day in town...and take the next boat back.. at that point renewing your Visa.
There has been much talk that immigration will be putting a stop to this..for years. As of 2day...seems nothing is being enforced.

It's way much easier than that : you won't get deported if you overstay your visa (and if you are scared about overstaying : you can do the round trip to Uruguay every three months).

This is NOT true for Indian citizens. Unlike EU residents and Americans, Indians NEED a tourist visa to enter Uruguay. So there is absolutely no question of leaving Buenos Aires to enter Uruguay every three months because you will have to apply for Uruguay tourist visa first.

So what can I do for staying long in Buenos Aires ?? I am in lot of tension

 

[captainmcd]

If you get married, you are eligible for permanent residency and can stay as long as you want. If you are a tourist you should leave the country once every 90 days, the easiest way from Buenos Aires is to take the BuqueBus (ferry) to Colonia, Uruguay. You can go and come back in a day or two with a new 90 day entry.

Contact the Argentina embassy in Delhi, as someone mentioned earlier. If you intend to apply for residency once you're in BA, you will need a lot of documents from India so you should get all of those ready while you're still in India.

Also, when you get your tourist visa, it will be for a maximum of one year (or shorter), so you can't do the Uruguay run/ DNM extension more than 3 times. Your best option would be residency through marriage (if you're at that stage, of course.) As far as I know, Argentina does not legally recognize long-term relationships.

You raise a good point but, after all, asking for a visa is a kind of screening process (we all entered on a Tourist Visa!) with the duration difference (likely 6 months/1 year for Indians).
Question would be: an Indian National overstaying his tourist visa (screening process) would be chased by migraciones here? He would be one more permatourist (but in this case, you "stay under the radar"). There are were few Indian Nationals here. Chinese seem to be controlled more (but there are already quite a few indeed ).

To the OP: unless you come with personal savings, how will you pay for food, etc. ? Will you manage to work from here?

A thousand thanks

If you marry your girlfriend you are automatically entitled to permanent residency. You can get married with your passport and as a tourist. If you do not want to marry her, well, that is another story and you might have to travel to Uruguay and stay for some 24 hs there then return to get another tourist visa extension, that is what some expats do to remain somewhat legally here, although as of now I have not heard of anybody being deported to their home countries for overextending their visas. I for one would not want to be illegally anywhere, go marry the girl and be happy

Nikad is on the right track...and I'll be even more "iffy" than she was:

If citizens of India need a visa to enter Uruguay, then it is doubtful you will be granted one every 90 days for the purpose of renewing your tourist visa in Argentina.

If you want to be married then just get married, but not because it will allow you to live "legally" in Argentina.

If there's one thing I've learned form Bajo_cero2 is that once you are living in Argentina you have "rights" that you probably don't have in any other country.

If you leave the country (to go to Uruguay to renew a tourist visa) you would lose those rights and you could be denied reentry.

If you stay in Argentina without a "valid" tourist visa you are probably not going to be arrested nor are you likely to be deported. In any case you can fight this procedure.

If you are arrested for any other crime you may indeed face deportation (like any other foreigner). Nonetheless, Argentina is very different from other countries regarding the rights of foreigners who have a desire to live here as long as they are not criminals and can demonstrate an "honest" means of living.

If you don't have any other reason to want to be in Argentina but you don't want to get married then you will just have to live here with "tension" until you decide. Getting married will make staying here very easy.
