[lrockwitt]

Do Us citizens have to pay a reciprocity fee for Argentina? We are traveling to South America in January.

The fee for Argentina was ended about 1.5 years ago. :)

 

Check the Argentina website.

I keep getting a pop up about the fee? I just wanted to make sure.

It was removed before the Olympics. Otherwise, the Rio Olympics would have been empty of spectators rather than partially empty of spectators.

Rio is in Brazil, not Argentina.

 

The fee in Argentina was removed after a business oriented administration won in Argentina. The also allowed the paso to float to proper exchange level. The two changes made it much more attractive for Americans, and others to visit.

The reciprocity fee for Argentina was removed in March 2016 just as President Obama was about to make a visit there.

Yeah it's gone now, but I still have the sticker in my passport good for ten years from when I paid it a few years ago on our last trip to BA... :loudcry:

... this was in regards to a visas, but it only was for a few months surrounding the Olympics.

President Obama negotiated the elimination of the "reciprocity fee" with the president of Argentina for US citizens and since August 2016 no fee is levied. US citizens only. We cruised Antarctica out of Ushuaia south of the Antarctic Circle this past February and no fee.

It is still in effect for Canadians and a couple of other countries.
