Reciprocity fee for US citizens
U.S. citizens who visit the Argentine Republic as tourists or on business must pay a reciprocity fee of U$S160. This reciprocity fee does not represent a charge for a visa since Argentina does not require US citizens to have visas when traveling as tourists or on business. The Argentine Government sets this fee in reciprocity to what Argentines pay for a visa application to enter the United States of America.
Argentine nationals traveling with a US, Canadian or Australian passport are EXEMPT from paying the reciprocity fee. Please travel with additional proof of Argentine nationality (DNI, old passport, birth certificate, etc.)
Method of Payment
Payment must be made before entering the Argentine Republic, online at: http://www.migraciones.gov.ar and go to: Pay your reciprocity fee
Payment can be made with the following credit cards only: Visa, American Express, Mastercard.
The voucher received must be printed and submitted to the immigration authorities. The period of validity of such proof will begin from the date on which the payment was made.
As of January 7, 2013, the reciprocity fee has been extended to all border crossings of Argentina: maritime, fluvial (riverine), terrestrial and aerial.
Until June 30, 2013, passengers on cruises entering the country are exempt from paying the reciprocity fee.(sic)
U.S. citizens who previously paid the fee and its validity period has not expired, they do not need to pay it again and need to show the stamp on the passport. If you have a new passport, you will need to bring the previous passport with the stamp that proves the fee payment. For further information or questions, please contact our office at 404-880-0805 x 101, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

At the airport, if there is any doubt, AC will query TIMATIC which you can access yourself and see the relevant requirements for travel: http://www.staralliance.com/en/servi...sa-and-health/

Someone asked me about overland entry from Chile for a Canadian citizen. It looks like all types of entry at BsAs require the fee now, does anyone have experience with buses from SCL?

I paid the reciprocity fee about a year ago at EZE. The sticker in my passport is considered to be my receipt, right? So I don't have to enter any data onto the website before my trip?
BTW, I just have a plain white sticker with some numbers on it, but it seems to be the same date as my first entry into Argentina. I also have passport stamps to and from Colonia a few days later.

Perhaps someone that also has an approx. 1 year old Fee payment sticker can comment on the design of the one they have in their Passport...?

Unless the experts say otherwise, it is my understanding that your sticker is valid proof of payment and as long as you can produce it when requested you should be goot to go. However, your comment on the fact that it is a simple white sticker got me thinking.... is there any reference to the Fee printed there, or at least some sort of readable bar code...? I assume your Fee was paid upon arrival of your last trip, correct...?

Is there a way to enter numbers from a former paid reciprocity fee on the website to generate some sort of proof?
As always, the concern is being allowed to board the flight as well as being able to enter the country.

I tried this with permanent residency in Chile - din't fly. It was in the day of buying the sticker at the airport, though, so no penalty other than having to stand in another line.

I'm pretty sure I did not get an additional receipt at the time. Yes, it was about eleven months ago or a few days plus a year from my previous entry to when I arrive at EZE.

My sticker is in my expired passport and each time it was acceptable to whomever checked it. Both in the US and Chile (from where I've entered each time).
There is a bar code although I don't remember it being swiped or scanned at the airports in Argentina.
