The fee now applies at any Argentine entry point. It is also now only payable on-line. The payment booths at the airport are gone. You must pay the fee and print and bring your receipt with you. Without the receipt you'll either be rejected for entry, or (if you are lucky) have a rather long wait at the border while they lk you up.

I can say that Colonia del Sacramento is a lovely place to spend a day or so near MVD.

I purchased two of these. I'm looking forward to visiting Uruguay again!
