Ah HA!
So, it has been rumored that Argentina would be charging reciprocity fees for every entering American coming into the country. The fees, of which would be $130 US would be valid for several years but as you may already know, Argentina is well known as a super cheap travel locale. Anyway, I was curious upon entering the country from some time spent in the states if the reciprocity fee would be already enacted. As it was supposed to be on Jan 1st 2009. The verdict is in: I DID NOT PAY A DIME.
Now, this isn’t to say the reciprocity fee will NEVER be put into use. Argentina is some what infamous when it comes to implementing plans and then taking a long time before they are put into use. But it does go to say that if you’re entering the country any time soon, you will probably avoid this travel pitfall. Enjoy it now, who knows how long it will last!
