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.

Yesterday I went up to my husband's office to pay our Reciprocity Fees. They run IE so I thought I was home free. "Not so fast, li'l lady!" At any rate, I still got the same error I got when I was using Safari. At that last point, where it tells you to make sure all information is correct, it had added my passport number on to the end of my husband's. After a frustrating hour of trying to "Edit" the profile and then starting over repeatedly, I finally ended up doing each one separately. Creating two completely separate profiles and forms not "Adding" my husband's form to mine as it invites you to do. I printed the resulting clearance forms with all of completely correct information and bar codes. (Whew!) The only thing I can figure out is that maybe the Argentine site isn't running the same version of IE. So even IE has its problems on their site. Thanks for everyone's help.

As I look at my receipt of the fee I paid I realize I didn't put my middle name in there. I guess I didn't think about. Will this be a problem? My passport number and First and Last names are correct, but my passport also has my middle name and the information I wrote in on the website does not. Has anyone had experience with this?
