Reciprocity fee for Canadians - Re entry question
the regulations for Canadians state http://ctoro.mrecic.gob.ar/en/node/2609
I have seen trip reports saying this is okay overland (Iguazu for example), but I wonder does this apply to onward and air travel?
For example, will flying from BA to Peru via Brazil (as a connection, does not exit airport) round trip allow me to avoid the charge the second time when I get back to Argentina? Does it change matters if I exit airport in Brazil? (ie. have exit stamp from Brazil?)
Thanks
The payment of the reciprocity fee by the Canadian nationals for a single entry to Argentina of 75 U.S. dollars will allowed them to visit any of our neighboring countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay) and re-entry to Argentina, without having to pay the reciprocity fee again, during the period of authorized stay in Argentina of 90 days.

From the second paragraph, it looks like it would probably be better to pay the $150 fee and have five years worth of entries, than to end up paying $75 twice in a short period of time.
Being paid-up for the next five years will make it all the more enticing to come back after what is hopefully an enjoyable first visit!

I flew from AEP to MVD (about as short a flight as one could take!) then back to EZE a couple of days later. No troubles.
But as others point out, it's just as easy to pay the $150 and then you'll have 5 years of multiple entry.

I would not do this.
To enter Brazil you must possess a Brazilian visa as a Canadian passport holder. Should you transit Brazil as a Canadian citizen, you MUST remain airside (leading to more questions when you arrive back in Argentina, and if you don't use another passport to enter Peru, the Peruvian stamp is quite obvious.)
Yes, there is entrance AND departure formalities in Brazil.
