For those considering doing an extension through Immigration in Retiro... DON'T! I tried that before and it's a nightmare, thereby resulting in me just waiting to pay the fee when I exit.

If I go to Uruguay (even overstayed in Argentinia) just for several days, I will meet any issues coming back to Argentina?

Can I do my 90 days, take the Buquebus to Uruguay for a week or so and come back to Buenos Aires and get an additonal 90 days?

    Hello again, why did you chose to leave the country at this time , since the fine is the same no mater how long you overstay? Also where there any difficulties coming back into the country? Also I'm curious on how often your could overstay, and if you do it 2 or 3 times or more that immigration would refuse to let you come back in? Thanks for the video, my wife and I have been grappling with this subject.

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi DM. I left because I knew I was flying back to the US to visit my family for the holidays. So I would have to pay the fee regardless. So I just decided to combine it with a trip to Uruguay. I had absolutely no difficulties coming back. Not a single one. From what I've heard/read on FB groups, immigration actually prefers it if you overstay rather than coming/going every 90 days. They see that constant coming/going as 'gaming the system.' But I certainly don't want to necessarily give immigration or legal advice. This is just what I did.I think if you're planning to stay longterm, you should definitely look into getting residency and getting a DNI. That should allow you to come and go without worrying about the overstay part. I would definitely have a look through the FB groups to see what others are saying about it as well to have a full perspective! :)

    I wonder if it makes any difference when you come back to the country if you had a previous overstay. I wouldn’t want to jeopardize my chance of returning if they suddenly decide that they are going to change the rules. Like in Mexico where they started cracking down on long stay tourists and not giving out 6 mos. automatically any more.

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I totally get that. Obviously I don't want to offer any legal immigration advice to anyone, but I do know that people have been overstaying for several years. I used to live in BA back in 2005 and I overstayed on purpose then too. I just paid the fine at the Paraguayan border when I left. You can no longer do that as you need to pay before you leave, but I don't see them changing the rules any time soon. I would do a search in the BA Expats Hub Facebook group as these kinds of questions get asked a lot!

    Hey! Do you know if leaving the country and coming back within 90 days "resets" the 90 days as for a Norwegian person? I have been here for around 80 days now and I am a bit worried haha! I am staying until July/August. As a Norwegian you don´t have to have a visa for entering the country if you are staying for under 90 days. I have tried to look it up, but there is limited information in Norwegian and most articles online only describes this "problem" as an American with a visa! Thanks x

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello! Americans don’t technically have a visa either. We can enter and stay up to 90 days as well. Then if you overstay, you pay the fee. I’m pretty certain that ALL nationalities need to pay the fee if they overstay. A French friend paid this a couple months ago. But if you leave and come back, the days do reset. Last year I left on day 89 and went to Peru for a month. Then when I came back, the days started over. I can’t be positive for Norwegian citizens, but I would guess you’re in the same situation. Just go to the Jorge Newberry airport within 10 days before you leave in July/August to pay the overstay fee. Good luck!

      Hi Dr Gonzo! I rented a car in Bariloche from a place called Rucaco. It's right in the center of town. They are so nice.

I found it to be super easy. You need to show your driver's license and credit card (though as I mentioned in the video, a photo of each was fine), but I was able to pay in cash. They rented by periods of 24 hours. I think it was around 24k pesos/day. So if you meet friends to share the cost with, even better! :) Have a great trip!

    Would I need to pay these 12,500 Pesos multiple times? I will loverstay in the next days and then probably visit chile in the next weeks. If I overstay my next stay in ARG, will I have to pay double? Thanks :)

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Super! You need to pay it every time you overstay. So if you overstay in the next couple days, you'll need to pay it before you leave. But if you go to Chile, you won't have any issues coming back into Argentina. If you leave within the following 90 days (after entering the second time) you won't need to pay it again. But if you overstay for a second time, you will need to pay it for the second time. Does that make sense?

    Could someone drop me a note about cheap Spanish language classes. In a video, someone said some city run schools offer very cheap language courses for visitors to Argentina, and once you are registered into these classes, then you could stay for six more months or so. It is legal and done by the innnigration office. Is this true???? If so, how much is the school's charge??? Appreciate your comments and experiences with immigrating to Argentina from Canada.

    After you paid at inmigración, does your visa get reset? Let’s say you hadn’t gone to Uruguay where it gets reset I’m assuming, would you have needed to leave Argentina within 10 days or does it also reset the 90 days once you pay the fine? Thanks!

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Natasha, it does not reset. Once you pay at immigration, you have just 10 days before you leave the country. That's why it's best to wait until just before you leave the country to pay the fee at immigration. You can do an extension at immigration that will give you another 90 days, but it is just another 90 days. Whereas overstaying you just stay as long as you want basically, and then pay right before you leave. But when I left Argentina and then came back, the 90 days were reset.

    Thanks for the video! My partner and I have been in Buenos Aires for a few weeks and are trying to research the best way to stay for 2-3 years. We just came from China, where they have incredibly strict immigration, so the idea of intentionally (and repeatedly) overstaying visas makes us a little anxious - especially if we’re going to sign long term rental agreements (I remember you mentioning in another video that the minimum rental term is 3 years?). We’ve been doing some research into the digital nomad visa, but it’d be really helpful to be able to get a DNI and local bank account which (to our knowledge) that specific visa type wouldn’t provide. Do you have any recommendations as to the best way to stay long term? It also sounded like the immigration officer was a touch harsh. Do you think there would be any additional consequences if you overstayed by this length again?
    Thanks!

    • @SinNombre-ov4ql
      @SinNombre-ov4ql ปีที่แล้ว +3

      the 3 years rental term means the landlord can't send you off for no reason and you can cancel the contract anytime you want (before the 3 years) by paying a compensation (usually equal to 2 or 3 months rent, depends the contract).

    • @SinNombre-ov4ql
      @SinNombre-ov4ql ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't worry about overstaying, argentinian immigration laws are very light, almost a joke, all you have to do is to pay a small fee and that is all, but to do the things in the right way and thus avoid problems, you can ask in an immigration office (oficina de migraciones ) about living here and /or in a civil register (Registro Civil) about your DNI, don't be afraid, just ask, they are not gonna bite you, this is not U.S.A. or China, they don`t pursuit ilegal immigrants in argentina....by the way i'm argentinian born and raised.

      The immigration officer wasn't harsh, she was just trying to be understood since she noticed that Nicky wasn't a spanish speaker, and as always happens, people who talks to other person who speaks a different language, always yell, they don't realize they are not deaf, they just speak a different language.

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Steve! I totally get that fear of immigration especially coming from somewhere so strict. Argentina is definitely not as strict as most other places when it comes to immigration which is nice. I think the digital nomad visa is mostly a joke. I don't see the point since you can just overstay anyways. But I do think that if you want to stay 2-3 years, getting a bank account and a DNI is ideal. I was about to start my DNI process, but then ultimately decided to leave Argentina for the time being, so I didn't end up doing it. But if you know you'll be there for some years, I would suggest getting it. You should ask in the FB groups about the process because many other expats have done it. The immigration officer was a bit harsh, but I think mainly because I mentioned I had been doing some freelance work and she didn't like that. But even if she was harsh, it is probably just her job to say those kinds of things! I still paid the fee and left the country, and re-entered two days later with absolutely zero issues. When I re-entered a few days later, nobody asked me anything. Just let me back in. You should do a search in the Expat Hub FB group because people discuss this topic a lot. You can get a good idea of other people's experiences doing it. Buena suerte! :)

    I'm wanting to move to Buenos Aires and it looks like I don't need a visa coming from the USA. However, it looks like I need an Argentine ID to rent, which requires a visa. Anyone know the answers to this for me?

    • @NickiPostsTravelStuff
      @NickiPostsTravelStuff  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey there, blr! The "visa" is really just allowing you to enter 90 days in the country. Coming from the US, it's not something you have to apply for beforehand. Once you arrive to Argentina, and plan to spend a lot of time there, you can apply for something called the DNI. I haven't done that process so unfortunately I can't help out with specifics of it. But the BA Expat Hub FB group is a great resource for that.
      Some places don't require a DNI to rent if you are willing to pay several months in advance, or if you work with companies who often work with foreigners.

      That's right. HOWEVER, in December they started to allow paying with credit cards (Visa and Mastercard only) to be charged with the MEP rate rather than the official rate. The MEP rate is almost at the blue dollar rate. So paying with a credit card is no longer as bad as it used to be fortunately. But I made this video before that change came in to effect.
