My girlfriend and I returned to EZE from Colombia this weekend. I have residency, she does not.
When we were checking in for our flight in Colombia (via Aerolineas Argentina) the attendent requested for my girlfriend to show proof of travel that she would be leaving Argentina. We had come into Colombia with round trip tickets from EZE -> Bogota.
We travel regularly in and out of EZE and this was the first time she's been asked this.
After speaking to her manager, their position did not change and they would not let her board without some sort of ticket showing her leaving Argentina. They said this was a change that started about two months ago.
They suggested that we buy a one way ticket to Montevideo on the spot. Luckily, we have another trip at the end of March planned for Peru, and I was able to dig up the email confirmation of that booking on my phone. With that, they let her go through.
They also said a bus or boat ticket showing exit would work too. And for what it's worth, the way they looked at the email confirmation on my phone, I suspect that a doctored flight "confirmation" would have sufficed as well.
When we arrived to EZE, going through migrations they asked her no questions and gave her a new tourist stamp without any questions.
Just a heads up to anyone who may be travelling to keep this in mind.
