Maybe three straight blocks.
It's a maze of red tape bullshit! They will send you from building to building, line to line and table to table.One of the Boys.
Killed 5 people in a car wreck while he was here on vacation. Living here.
TL had. To take our fellow Monger from building to building for 5 straight days just to find the correct monkey to allow him to travel, leave the country.
It was hell.
At one point they hauled him in for not changing his address!
Finally met the head of immigration in BA and got things squared out!
Took us 5 days!
Good luck!
By the way, why do you need it?

That's one reason why they let you keep your old passports, so you can still use the visas contained therein.
Thanks,

Mine is also from 2010, and that passport now has two holes punched in the front cover because I have since obtained a new passport. And I was welcomed with open arms! BTW you will be checked more than once by the airline you are flying to make sure that all is in order.

I'm thinking about a visit in about a month. I have the "visa-like" page in my passport from 2010, good to 2020. I'm assuming I don't have to go online and mess with the reciprocity thing. Please let me know if I have that wrong.
Thanks.

The US Government charges a visa application fee because it costs money to actually conduct an investigation into the visa applicant. These investigations are necessary to determine the probability that the applicant will return to Argentina when their proposed visit to the USA is completed, this being necessary because we have a big problem in the USA with foreign visitors deliberately overstaying their visas.
On the other hand, Argentina does not have a problem with American citizens deliberately overstaying their visas to enter Argentina, and thus Argentina does not need to screen visa applicants from the USA.
The operative words in the first paragraph are "actually conduct an investigation".
Argentina does not conduct visa investigations, and thus all they're doing is using reciprocity as an excuse to extract money from every American citizen who enters Argentina. There is no justification for charging a visa application fee when no visa application investigation is being conducted.
Thanks,
Jackson

Argentines visiting the US have to apply for a visa. The application form costs the same as the fee for Americans to enter Argentina (thus the "reciprocity" of the "reciprocity fee"). Applying for this visa can be a highly traumatic experience (ask anyone. Not only Argentines). You are in the hands of a, often power crazy, menial civil servant. If he or she decides not to give you a visa you are not even allowed to know why and much less appeal. And you don't get your money back. The US authorities refuse to inform on how many applicants are rejected.
Argentines are the fifth biggest population visiting Miami every year with about half a million tourists. This year there are many restaurants and apartment rentals that are accepting PESOS at the official rate of exchange!
