This thread began with a question: "Do people recommend that I pay?" (referring to the overstay fee).
Although one member wrote that "You can't check in until you have paid the fine." I believe it is possible to leave without paying. It would then be necessary to pay it online before returning or pay with a credit card (only) upon arrival at EZE (when you return).
This was discussed at length in a thread started by smirkypants: I Was Denied Entry At Ezeiza
(It took a while for the reason entry was denied to be revealed in the thread.)
Dr. Rubilar once posted that there is no problem (with migraciones) when leaving Argentina, so I was surprised to see that he suggested leaving from Uruguay.
If this is John's first overstay I wonder why would it be better for him to avoid departure from EZE?
Have all of the "problems" for those with overstays been caused by the same official at EZE?
Does the fact that the overstay has been for more than two years make a difference?
Is there any chance (upon departure) that his passport could be stamped and he would be denied reentry for any length of time?
I ask this because I remember a thread about a foreigner who (I believe) was leaving Argentina after one overstay of multiple of years and was "hit" with a five year ban.
If understand correctly, being married to an Argentine doesn't carry any legal weight when entering the country if you haven't bothered to get legal residency, though it might be possible to appeal to the emotions of the migraciones official: Probable Entry Denial At Ezeiza After Overstay
Hopefully, the worst that will happen is John will be given 90 days to regularize his status (get residency based on the marriage) when he returns.
Meanwhile, I hope Dr Rubilar can be more specific about the possible issues/consequences John could face at EZE when he leaves and what he might be able do in advance (besides going early to pay the fine) in case migraciones makes an "issue" of his two year overstay.
