New Reciprocity Fee in Argentina:
Effective December 20, 2009, the government of Argentina has imposed new “reciprocity fees” for citizens of the U.S. to match those same fees imposed by the U.S. government on Argentineans. The fee will cost $131.00 for U.S. citizens and will only be collected at immigrations in Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires and you pay with cash, traveler’s check or credit card.
The fee permits multiple entries into Argentina for ten years in accordance with US visa reciprocity.
We apologize for the last minute introduction of this fee, but the government of Argentina gave no advance notice to the general public. It is also important to note that U.S. citizens using Cordoba as their port of entry into Argentina will not be charged this new reciprocity fee. Citizens of Canada and Australia will also be charged a fee and should check with their respective agencies to determine their fees and procedures.
For more information please refer to the US Embassy website ( here) . |
