Posts: 137I can concur that the immigration officials are taking a HARD look at the number of entry / exit stamps at the Buquebus terminal these days. Several months ago I was hassled by the Argentine immigration official before boarding the boat and was told to get my residency papers in order. Last week, before boarding the boat in Uruguay the immigration official took a hard and look at the many stamps but did not issue any warnings. No such hassles at EZE or AEP.

I think that's part of what I see (IMHO) as part of the increased anti-N Americano attitudes in and around BsAs. At both Posadas and Formosa they didn't look past the last page to make sure I have a valid exit stamp. They didn't even look at the rest of the pages. I suspect, but can't prove that this is a Colonia / MV thingy. I wonder if it is happening in Tigre on the Carmelo run. Which for the value monger is a much better deal, cheaper by far and less time on the boat. You got to get up early as shit though to catch the tigre train though.

Posts: 2808New insight
After living in Corrientes and crossing at Posadas twice I have a little different view. Seems about every single paraguayan that comes to Argentina overstays. I crossed twice at Posadas and both times the line of Paraguayans paying the fine was about a kilometer long. For the reasons listed by Jackson and rock harders, in addition to having a non mercourser (sp) passport I don't think I will change and will continue to make visa runs but I think it's fairly common to overstay.

Posts: 2808Another important consideration
Being Argentina not all immigration officers use the same stamp upon arrival. Some use a "90" day stamp and others use a "tres meses" stamp, look in your passport you will see what I mean. Once at Tigre while making the visa run to Carmello I tried asking about this.
The conversation went something like this:
Me: I've noticed that some of my stamps are different, could you please tell me if a tourist visa is good for 90 days or 3 months.
Idiotic Argentine Imigration Official (IAIO): Yes.
Me: But 3 months and 90 days are not the same thing, 3 months could be 91 or 92 days.
IAIO: Yes.
Me: So is a tourist visa is good for 3 months?
IAIO: Yes 90 days.
(This particular stamp was good for 3 months from 20 Nov. So it should have been good until 20 Jan. I went a couple days early at 89 days)
Me: So I could have stayed until 20 Feb.
IAIO: No that would be more than 90 days.
Me: But my visa says three months.
IAIO: Si noventa dias.
Me: Gracias che, buen dia, chau chau. (I got on the fucking boat)

A quick visit to a nearby foreign port of call gives you all more mongering ops to report upon so that us less well traveled, less worldly folks can make an objective decision about other interesting places to visit and sample local fare.

Posts: 751Mongers,
I completely agree with Jackson on this issue. In my opinion, overstaying the tourist visa for reasons of laziness or convenience is just plain stupid. Although there are seemingly little or no consequences now, if things go wrong the shit could hit the fan. For example, if you are arrested for some reason, you will be in the country illegally and will not have the same rights as someone holding a valid tourist or other visa. You could be detained for an extended period of time awaiting a hearing in a very unpleasant Argentine jail conditions. Or, as Jackson suggests, you could be denied a residence visa at some future time for violating Argentina's immigration laws.
Suerte,
Rock Harders
