UPDATE: The extension is now $20,000 pesos. Still cheap but crazy how they randomly changed it. It's done in building 3 but it's all clear once you get there.
Thank you very much for this video. With the exception of a mishap due to the change in the fee, this video was incredibly useful.
Thanks for the update!! Makes sense that they increased the fee. To be honest Iâm surprised that they didnât increase it sooner. đ Happy to hear that this video was helpful for you! Enjoy your extra time in Argentina!
I really appreciate this video. I've taken all the note and I'm going tomorrow morning to get this done. Thanks!
Thx and best of luck
I went to do this yesterday. This video was extremely helpful! Everything was as you said in the video except for 1 thing. After everything, I paid, finger prints, signed the papers...he gave me my receipt...no code, no instructions. So I asked for the code and he gave it to me, but still no instructions. I used the graphic in this video and followed your prompts and found my information, downloaded the PDF. I'm not sure if I will go through the trouble of finding a printer or if I will just keep it on my phone. Thanks!!!
Hello, on your phone should work. I showed the customs agent my paper and number on the way out as he asked how I had stayed so long. Also, see âcommentâ from Jay in this sectionâŠhe seems to also have went recently and shared that they updated the end of the process!! Aka. Essentially completing the last part for us! Best of luck
$4 for an extension, that's quite a bargain compared to other popular countries. But is there really only one place in the entire country where you can apply for an extension?
Hey! Yes quite a bargain for sure. As to whether this is the only local in Buenos Aires to apply for a tourist visa extension â Iâm not 100% sure â BUT from what the agents told me at the first location (where they wouldnât help me) it sounds like it!! So I would maybe search more online, call immigration if your Spanish is good, or just go straight to this local to save time!! Best of luck & enjoy Argentina!!
I went and extended my visa today. I also heard you can just overstay and pay a fine, but it seems disrespectful to the country to me and I don't want to be given a lecture when I leave, even if the fee is small. The process is more streamlined now. Everything is done in Building 6 (the building right behind security gate). You get a queue ticket for the tourism porroga and then wait to be called there. I arrived at 11am and there were two people waiting before me. There is no need to do anything online now, you simply pay the fee there (still 4,000 pesos) and are given a piece of paper and receipt. In total I was in and out in about an hour and a half.
Thanks for the update for everyone who is reading this!! Cheers and enjoy your âextended stayâ in Argentina!
Hey man - thanks for the value, subscribed - if you'd gone straight to the correct office, how many hours would it have taken you to go in, wait in line and process the whole thing? Cheers
Hey man! Thanks. I believe it was 2 hours inside the building in total. Short initial line to the person who processes your name and reason for being there, but then a longer wait for the immigration agent, payment of visa, and final processing with the immigration agent. Going earlier in the morning is definitely better to beat the crowds!! Goodluck and enjoy Argentina!
Just went through and completed this today. They didn't give me the "code/ piece of paper" section that needed to get done within 48hr. Just said that I was done and thats it. I wonder if he did it for me on the computer. I don't have anything to present to immigration when I leave though.
@jmr007 hmm thatâs odd unless they updated the process. I was asked about how long Iâd been in the country when leaving and I showed my form from IMMI. Unofficially, because Iâm not sureâŠIâd say maybe you leave it and see what happens at immigration when you go to depart the country or maybe pop back over there one day (the office) and ask about your file? Best of luck!!
Yes - can confirm they've changed the process already. I checked with a few of the staff and stayed an extra 45minutes to double check everything. They ended up giving me a print out showing me its been granted. So I guess they do the code section for you now đđ
@@jmr007 sounds great, and thanks for sharing that info here as that will help everyone else out from here forward!! Enjoy Argentina!!
Thanks for this informative video for extending in Buenos Aires. I extended my visa with migration in Salta last year. I returned to the United States and now I am back in Buenos Aires. Can you extend your visa with migration a second time after you have left and returned to Argentina?
Hello! Happy to hear youâre back enjoying Argentina! âIâd try to check the immigration website for the official information, or go to the office in BA to ask directly at the front desk as they are helpful! **If I was to guess from what I read in the past, seeing as you left after your extension last time you should be allowed to extend again because by you leaving you reset the process, and followed the rules from your last extension. From my understanding, the only rule was that after your extension, you had to leave after those 90 days. Best of luck!
I plan on visiting argentina for about 180 days (6 months). Plan to extend it at the 90 day mark like you mention here. My question relates to entering the country at first. Do they check if you have a return flight? Where you are staying for the duration? I am not sure if I book a return flight for 6 months later if it will be an issue, or if they let you in ez pz regardless. Did you have any return flights booked when entering?
Hey man! Yes, Iâve traveled a lot and this was one of the few times I got asked for onward travel plans! Actually, itâs usually the airline that will ask because they are responsible for returning you to your point of departure if you get refused by immigration. So youâll probably be asked at your departure airport gate, if you are asked. See my YT short on the channel about more on this!! **they do ask at immigration where you are staying and simply having the address of your hotel, Abnb, hostel suffices! Onward ticket: BOOK a cheap onward ticket fully refundable to Chile, Brasil, or Uruguay and then if you decide not to use that ticket then cancel it after you arrive to your destination. (My advice) Just make sure you see the t & câs of the âfully-refundableâ part so you donât lose your money, if in fact you arenât taking that onward flight! Enjoy Argentina!
Great information on this video but I have a question, I plan on moving there to Mendoza when I turn 64. I believe I'm one year shy of the retirement age requirement for Argentina (65)so do they have a Visa/ immigration office in Mendoza or do I need to travel to the main capital after 90 days?
Hello Chris!! Thanks for the message. Iâve never been to Mendoza so Iâm not familiar with the situation there! I might try to inquire about this in an expats group on Facebook or officially with an immigration attorney. Best of luck!
@@DontWonderExplore
Thanks
@chrisdekeyser549 youâre welcome!
Hi. Just one question - did they marked anything in your passport to show that your visa was extended ? for example, in some countries they put an actual 'visa' on your passport pages. Is there anything like this or they just give you some pdf file, that you can print and show to immigration once you leave?
Hello! So when I went âNOâ no markings on your passport AND yes it is the PDF that you print out to show that you have an extension granted! FYI: when I left the immigration officer asked me about how long I had been in Argentina for this current stay and I informed him that I did this extension, handed him the paper work that I had printed out and he types in my case Number that was on my pdf form! **Defintiely print or save that file in your phone !! Best of luck!
@@DontWonderExplore thank you a lot
@@user-dk7es7vu2t welcome!!
So when I arrived at BA airport, they never stamped my Passport. I then asked there about needing it stamped. They said No they are not doing that anymore .
So is the info in their computer system or what is happening?
Hey Kevin! Thatâs exactly correct. The same happened to me when entering and I read about it online as well that around 2020/2021 they stopped physically stamping passports and it is all recorded electronically in their systems! **So I would just keep track of the date that you entered and keep track of when you will hit the 90 days limit so that if you choose to extend at the immigration office you will know that information to provide with them!! Cheers!
@@DontWonderExplore Thnx for that confirmation . It would appear now that UAE or similar going to biometric such as face or retinal scans ( and Britain ) , Passports may being phased out over the next few years.
@Kevin-fn9zx yes that could be the case. Iâve been experienced face scans in other countries before , BUT not here when physically entering. They only scan your biometrics if you âextend your tourist visa in personâ at the office. We shall see what unfolds moving forward! Enjoy the travels!
@kevin-fn9zx www.migraciones.gov.ar/transitos/
You don't need to do any of this. It's not illegal to overstay a visa. All you need to do is pay a (small) fine at the airport when you leave.
Yes. i hear you. If you watch my full-video I mentioned that it depends what you feel comfortable doing and I mentioned another traveler who did just exactly what you recommend. For me, the overstaying info seemed very suspect and up to the whims of what immigrations mandate is , at the time, so I didnât want any issues with returning to Argentina in the future. âMy point of viewâ. Best of luck!
What happens if you simply stay and don't leave ? For a years ? Is that possible (?) or will they eventually deport you ? How close do they pay attention to your passport duration in everyday life ?
@KB3TLE hello, I donât recommend it as you would be breaking IMMI rules, but I have read about people doing that & simply paying a fine before exiting. (As some have mentioned above.) what i might say is things are changing fast in Argentina with the new gov. So if you were to go that route this year or in future years Iâm not sure if itâs still just a fine these days? Personal choice is yours. Best of luck!
@@DontWonderExplore Yea - thanks. I think I'll take the Philippines. They speak English and offer a cheap 3 year (!) RENEWABLE - tourist visa ! -- Cost of living is cheaper too. Rents can be had for much less than BA - especially just outside the big cities. -- The people are super friendly & welcoming. Also - thousands of US expats are there already - many for decades - which offer a much ''softer landing'' for someone like me ? đ€--- All the best,
I'm unclear about how a border run works - soecifically how long do I need to stay out of the country, do I need to apply for a new visa that starts on the day I come back from e.g. Uruguay and will the immigration officers have an issue with me doing a border run rather than getting an extension?
Border runs can work differently in different countries depending on if they have a requirement that you need to be out of the country for a period of days before returning (this should still not be the case with Argentina, but check online)
Note:
(Visa rules can be a little different depending on your Passport and what the requirements are for the country youâre entering.)
Usually, people wanting to extend in ARG will go to Uruguay đșđŸ on the boat and stay for as little as a few hours and return back the same day. Yes, your re-entrance to ARG is at the discretion of the ARG immigration officials but I never had a problem and many others reported no problem either!
If you donât want to travel, and feel more comfortable extending at the office than the immigration office in BA is a fast and quick option! (Like in this video here)
đ Note: if you use this option you canât extend at their office after the 90 days and will have to visit another country to extend the next time, if that is your intention! Best of luck and enjoy Argentina !!
@@DontWonderExplore Awesome, thanks so much for the info! :)
@lovia9341 youâre welcome! Best of luck!
Hola. No sĂ© ingles por lo que espero que entienda mi español⊠Estaba mirando su video, traductor automĂĄtico mediante, y me pareciĂł entender que cada 90 dĂas, aproximadamente, sale de Argentina y regresa para poder renovar la residencia Âżes correcto lo que interprete? Suponiendo que sĂ, me parece que se esta equivocando en ello.. DespuĂ©s de los 90 dĂas puede solicitar unaâresidencia transitoriaâ adicional de hasta un año, sin necesidad de salir del paĂs. E, incluso, si cumple los requisitos, puede solicitar la âresidencia temporariaâ por hasta tres años, la cual tiene el beneficio adicional de proporcionarle el âDNI extranjerosâ. Cualquiera sea la modalidad, despuĂ©s de tres años queda habilitado para la âresidencia permanenteâ, la cual es de por vida. El tema, la cuenta regresa a cero cada vez que sale del paĂs, asĂ que su prĂĄctica de salir cada 90 dĂas serĂa contrarĂa a su interĂ©s. Saludos desde NeuquĂ©n, Argentina.
Hello! Thank you for your info! For me this is what I had seen other foreigners doing and at the time it seemed the most logical for my situation! Thanks for sharing this. Cheers!
Interesante, es el primer extranjero que escucho que hace eso. Ok, espero que reconsidere el trĂĄmite y no se sienta obligado a salir tan seguido, porque se supone que no es necesario.
Y si piensa vivir por mucho tiempo, evalĂșe adoptar âresidencia temporariaâ de hasta tres años y, luego de ello, âresidencia permanenteâ de por vida.
Contrario a lo que hace, se supone que tiene que evitar salir del paĂs durante ese periodo de residencia transitoria y temporaria para poder aspirar a la residencia permanente Pero me parece, no estoy seguro, que puede hacer trĂĄmites para salir por vacaciones o visitar familiares sin que ello afecte el requisito para obtener los tres años viviendo para obtener la residencia permanente.
Se supone que el consultado de su paĂs tambiĂ©n puede asesorarlo en ello. Saludos.
@@enriquedallavilla3094 Okay, thanks for your info!
Hey! Did you stay overnight outside of Argentina when you did you border runs? I canât find that anywhere. Bringing my bf to Argentina for 4 months, using this as an excuse to go to IguazĂș đ TĂA
HeyâŠno we didnât stay outside overnight on either of the border runs. Best of luck & enjoy Iguazu!! We enjoyed it!!
Hi! đ PodrĂas traducir al español? Thanks! âș
Hola! Possible poner subtĂtulos en español o si tienes preguntas cementerio abajo? Gracias!
Seems like most people overstay and just pay a fine on the way out. No ?
Yes! I came across many people mentioning that that is what they do! What one canât say is that that doesnât run the risk of one not having issues entering AR OR other countries in the future ⊠so for me, as mentioned in the video, I chose to go the âofficialâ route! Ultimately up to each person which route sounds best!
@@DontWonderExplore
Sounds like you did it the right way.
For me, yes! All depends on what people feel comfortable with!
