Posts: 82Useful info
Thanks much to DrakeCapital and Damman for the info on the Argentina reciprocity fee and the Paraguay overstay fee. I see from the link provided by Damman that the Argentina reciprocity fee is $160. The good news for me is that the fee is good for 10 years. Maybe I will succeed in having every woman between 18 and 25 years of age in Paraguay soon, so then I will have to move on.

They scramble for every penny.
Looking forward to a trip to BA probably in April. TL's "Drain, Eat & Meet" tour is much anticipated... Going to bring a American buddy now living in Brazil along for his "first" BA experience. It will blow his doors off.
Thanks,
TC.

As I understand it, crossing into Posadas with a US passport you'll still have to pay the reciprocity fee, which is much higher than PY's overstay fine, It's less than $50, and you don't have to go anywhere for paperwork, just pay at the airport when you leave. When the guy checks your passport he'll send you over to a special desk to pay, then they let you through with the receipt.

Posts: 82Paraguay to Argentina
My situation is different. As of March 31, I will have been in Paraguay for more than 90 days. I am just beginning to investigate the best course of action. One idea would be to go to Posadas AR for a couple days. Does anyone know if I would have to pay the Argentina "reciprocity fee" (is it $140 USA?) if I walk across the bridge from Encarnacion to Posadas with my USA passport? Actually, I would like to visit both Encarnacion and Posadas, just to see what they are like.
A fellow here in Asuncion said that Paraguay immigration might give me an extension beyond, so that is another option to look into. If anyone else has information or advice, I would appreciate it. I will post a parallel request on ISG, Paraguay, but that site has been quiet.
I will be leaving Paraguay for the States in May, but I am seriously thinking about getting a cedula for future extended trips, which takes months, so I understand. Also by the way, I have a Paraguay visa that is good for the life of my passport.
Thanks.

Posts: 428Ezeiza Immigration office and Banco Nacional open late or 24hrs?
Used to do Colonia runs to get new stamp but decided to ignore and pay exit fine at Ezeiza when I leave.
Taking late evening flight at some point when I decide to leave and have read well documented process of how and where to handle the exit fine, but not found confirmation the two primary offices for handling exit fine process is open late night or 24 hours.
1. The immigration office / small window to get form and then return with proof of payment.
2. The Banco Nacional to actually pay and get proof of payment stamp on form.
Anyone with firsthand xp paying the overstay fine at late evening hours?

Now, I guess I should also have added that if you have a bunch of stamps in your passport from times past and you go to Immigrations. Don't. Heh. Thinking only of someone who comes down every now and then.

I also wonder if these guys ever been to Argentina.
And if they have been, what are they doing on this forum.

Maybe, as El Queso says, if you plan to leave before the 180 days is up, you might be ok. But, given the bust ass mentality at Retiro, I think you are taking a risk.

Venues: 8Don't do the visa run. There's a well-known immigration / naturalization lawyer who posts on BA Expats that tells all about it. You could have a charge filed against you without even knowing, try to come back in at some point, and find yourself with 10 days to get out of the country, or even be denied entrance. Pay the fine and you are much much less likely to have any problems.
Every time you pass immigrations, you put yourself in their sights. You are not renewing your visa by leaving and coming back in (according to the lawyer) , you are only getting a stamp in your passport and the immigrations officials are ignoring the violations, on government policy, not law. They are completely within their rights to cause you troubles at any point. Like most countries, you can only have 180 days a year.
If you want to renew your visa, and are planning to be here for more than 90 days but less than 180, go to immigrations and get it renewed officially. A lot cheaper and easier than going to Colonia.
Now, guys, I don't post about chicas on here, being a happily-married ex-monger. But sometimes people want information on how to get around in Argentina too.
