Aumenta la tarifa de entrada a Argentina

![](/wp-media/2008/10/visa_stamp.jpg «Aumento de la tasa de entrada a Argentina»)

ACTUALIZACIÓN 2: A partir del 24 de marzo de 2016, los titulares de pasaportes estadounidenses ya no tienen que pagar la tasa de reciprocidad. Los canadienses y los australianos siguen estando obligados a pagarla.

ACTUALIZACIÓN : La [tasa de entrada a Argentina debe pagarse por adelantado](https://discoverbuenosaires.com/es/argentina-entrance-fee-visa-pre-paid/ «Tasa de entrada a Argentina pagadera por adelantado») a partir del 28 de diciembre de 2012 para las llegadas a Ezeiza y a partir del 31 de octubre de 2012 para las llegadas a Aeroparque.

A partir del 13 de abril de 2012, Estados Unidos ha aumentado el precio de la tasa de solicitud de visado de 140 a 160 dólares.

Dado que la [tasa de entrada a Argentina](https://discoverbuenosaires.com/es/argentina-entrance-fee-reciprocity/ «Tasa de entrada a Argentina») es una tasa recíproca a la que Estados Unidos cobra a los ciudadanos argentinos, también se ha incrementado en 20 dólares hasta alcanzar los 160 dólares a partir de esta fecha. Esta tasa se aplica a cualquier ciudadano estadounidense que entre en el país a través del aeropuerto de Ezeiza. Se trata de una tasa única válida durante 10 años.

Aún no se sabe si esta nueva tasa, que entró en vigor el 20 de diciembre de 2009, ha afectado o no al turismo en el país. Teniendo en cuenta que una familia de cuatro miembros pagaría 640 dólares adicionales por sus vacaciones, me imagino que esto habrá llevado a algunas personas a replantearse sus planes de viaje. También he oído que hay gente que vuela a Montevideo, en Uruguay, y luego toma un ferry a Buenos Aires, donde no se aplica la tasa en el puerto.

The local airport is Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Ministro Pistarini is Ezeiza

Thanks...that&#039s what happens when you try and do things too quickly.

I think it is very important to mention in any posting of this type that the term "reciprocal fee" is something of a misnomer.
Argentinos are charged not for a visa, but for the privilege of applying for one. Many people are refused, and their money is gone forever.
DaVe18/06/2010
Very true. I know several Argentines who applied and had their visas denied. They are out that money.

Ok...so if you enter Argetina via land or go to a different airport you aren&#039t charged the fee? What about when you have to re-enter the country...are you charged it then? I have no problem paying the fee (though it reminds me of the saying "an eye for an eye and we all go blind") simply because I&#039ve heard the horror stories that my international friends go through to make it to the states (my one Ecuadorian friend was confused as a terrorist because he has a beard. absurd and ridiculous!). BUT, I&#039m on a college grad&#039s budget and would like to see more of South America than just Argentina....so I&#039m hoping there is a good way to circumvent this.

I&#039m flying into EZE on Tuesday morning for the first time ever and just wanted to send thanks for posting this information. I&#039ll admit, I like my shoe string travel and don&#039t like this $140 fee business. It doesn&#039t put a huge dent in my travel plans, but I feel I could have spent that money in country on something much better (food, drinks, souvenirs, etc.) Anyhow, I guess I&#039ll just pay my fee and continue on my merry little way. The ten year thing is cool and makes me want to plan again for the second trip into Arg so that I can get some bang out of my bucks.
Cheers,
Adrienne

DaVe05/01/2011
If all of this is for your personal use and you are coming in as a tourist, you should have no problems at all. There is no limit on the amount of personal items that you can bring in. There is a limit of U$S 10,000 in currency, but nothing else.
sid06/01/2011

Hello,
Do you happen to know if I will need to pay the entrance fee if I have a connecting flight in Buenos Aires? I fly from São Paulo to Jorge Newbery Airport and then have to leave the airport to catch a flight out of Ezeiza. I certainly hope not!
DaVe11/05/2012
@omoonamitchell Unfortunately, I&#039m pretty sure that you will as you are actually entering the country and traveling from one airport to the other. You&#039ll have to clear customs at AEP and then exit at EZE.
