I'm glad it was sorted out! If Kate and I decide to close the distance here, we should have a double-date
Oh definitely! That would be great, considering I don't know anyone in the country except my SO and his family + 2 of his friends xD Do you have any plans on closing the distance soon?
Oh this old thread! Haha, didn't think I'd see it again :P It went fine really, you guys are very relaxed when it comes to immigration. We planned on going to Brazil first to get the visa renewed, then those plans fell through. Decided on Chile instead but that didn't happen either, so we just went to the immigrations-office, explained the situation, got a paper to fill in, went to the bank to pay the 300 peso fine, went back to immigrations, and that was that. They only asked to see the paper twice at the airport when I left, at the check-in counter and at the border control. Otherwise, no issues!
But from now on I'm making sure I get out of the country in time. I think that if you've overstayed your visa 3 times, they are likely to deny you entry next time you get there. Once is fine, it's like "shit happens" but if you do it repetedly, they will take actions. As said though, it's not something I'm planning on repeatedly doing. I love Argentina as a country, and wouldn't want to take advantage of it. I'm looking into the process of getting permanent residency, and hoping that I'll only have to border-hop once or twice more
Can I ask what happened with this? I'm from Argentina and my gf's from the US, so I believe we could use this info at some point or another... I believe my country's rather relaxed when it comes to immigration. When I went to Uruguay, we just had to present our ID cards (we have a concession, the South-Americans), and that was it, so I wouldn't worry much if I were you.
Haha, no worries :P I mean, it's definitely not the way to go to be able to stay in a country as long as possible, but it's a possible solution once or twice. Good luck on you too!
I know this is a two month old post currently, but I just wanted to thank you for teaching me about perpetual tourism. O: This will be very useful to me once I'll be needing a visa! I didn't even consider its existence before... good luck to everyone who is on their way of getting a visa!
I always get grilled coming from a Latin American country. They don't say shit when I come back from Europe. It's blatant discrimination.
I got minorly grilled going back to the US after leaving here in September. They didn't ask me anything when I arrived here here though. Then I came here on my working holiday and expected at least a few questions. And all the lady asked me was if they gave me a bag for my alcohol at duty free. American customs just has issues I think.
Yeah, I did that time, I have no idea what was going on though because it's never happened before... Maybe I looked suspicious or something Hopefully it was just a one-time thing though. Seems as this PT thing is very varied, some people have no problem at all and some people get totally busted... We'll see what happens

Wait you get probed with questions when you go back to Sweden Alle? Even in Australia they don't that, they just go through my declaration card.
I know one guy from my High School who is currently doing the PT thing in South America. As far as I'm aware, he has had no problems thus far.

I don't know about South America, but in Thailand for example (of course) its common for people to do a visa run every 90 days to renew, you get a standard month when you enter via airport, and a 15 day through foot / border, but you can extend those to 90 days at the embassy, rinse and repeat.
Yeah, I know it does differ a lot between Sweden and Argentina as well... When I got to immigration there and they asked what adress I'd be staying at, I had no idea because it hadn't occured to me before that I needed to know that, so I told the guy the truth and he just said "Ah, well, I'll just say you'll be staying at Hotel Buenos Aires then" x) Whilst when I got to Sweden, they asked me where I'd been, what I'd done there, what I was going to do in Sweden now... And I'm a citizen xD Oh well, I'll be careful still though, thanks for the heads up
In general, South American countries are more lax about tourism and extended visas, especially from "first world" countries. They aren't as worried about people coming to them solely to make money.
Yup The most recent time I flew back into CR the airline in the USA made a huge freaking deal about how I have to have a return ticket and they won't let me into the country if I didn't. I get to immigration, the guy asks me 0 questions, stamps my passport and I move on.
I'd be careful.
I know in the UK they keep eyes on people doing that (It's not illegal but it's frowned upon) and they have stopped people re entering. Obviously, it's a different country but its still something to bare in mind.
That's because it's the UK. :P
