But I´m not an immigration expert so I´d recommend that you contact the Argentine Consulate to be sure about this.<br />Have a nice trip!Sandrahttp://www.batravelguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781889622134046121.post-36465869250034809002016-09-12T04:06:52.642-03:002016-09-12T04:06:52.642-03:00Sandra, I am taking a group of students from Austr...Sandra, I am taking a group of students from Australia and one of the students only had 4 months left in the old passport.

I went to Argentina from Feb 2015 to March 2015.<br /><br />I will be returning again in the month of May. Do I need to pay the fee again? It says that it expires in January 2017.<br /><br />I'm assuming I just need to print it out again.

That sticker has an expiration date of 2017. I asked them not to stick it in my passport when I got it at the airport in 2012 because it was about to expire. At the time they said I could use the sticker in the future with my new passport. However, your advice states that he sticker would not be valid now since it was issued with the old passport and would expire with the old passport. IS this correct even though the sticker has an expiration date of 2017??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781889622134046121.post-44563217025977858982015-11-16T11:41:12.054-03:002015-11-16T11:41:12.054-03:00Laura, you don´t need to present anything else oth...Laura, you don´t need to present anything else other than your passports which state that you were born in Argentina.<br />Have a nice trip!<br />SandraSandrahttp://www.batravelguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781889622134046121.post-59265987204650801952015-11-15T21:38:10.420-03:002015-11-15T21:38:10.420-03:00Hello Sandra and Anon,

I am an American citizen and travel with my United states Passport I don't have my DNI since I came to the United states in the 60's, the last time I traveled to BA was in March of 2011 and they let me through with out having to pay the reciprocity fee, though I did have to pay for my daughter since she was born in the States. What shall I do, pay the fee or because I was born in Argentina I am not obligated to pay the fee? Why did I not have to pay the fee last time?

However, I made a silly mistake with the reciprocity fee. I went into the wrong part of the Provincia pagos website and instead paid for migration visas for $600usd each! I have submitted claims to have these refunded, but no refund onto my credit card yet. I have called +54 11 4317 0234 but the system is completely in Spanish and I only speak English.
