Thank you for posting this. I've shared it with our roll call for our December Valparaiso to Rio cruise. More money for excursions :p.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes Princess to notify us that payment of the fee is no longer a requirement.

I am hoping to see it within the next few days on our Gov. site.. seems to be behind in posting, last date was March 9th.

So happy !:D

Thanks for sharing this.

Good news!

This in the wake of Presidents Obama and Macri's discussions on improved relationships between the US and Argentina. Most see this measure as a first step toward readmission of Argentina to the US Visa Waiver program, a move that would make temporary suspension of the reciprocity fee permanent.

Watch for other travel-related changes as part of the initiative by President Macri to reengage the United States as an active trading partner after a lengthy period under the past two presidents when Argentina aligned itself with leftist governments in the region such as Venezuela and Bolivia, and frequently blamed the US for its problems.

Another possible change: More direct flights to Argentina from the US as a result of increased commerce between the two countries. More competition may well result in lower airfares as well as easier connections.

They were obviously just waiting to see Obama dance the tango. :-)

Great news for our cruise next Jan!

We have been following the situation as we return to Buenos Aires in March 2017 for a B2B pair of cruises.

Yes, the reciprocity fee is suspended from Mar24 2016 to Jun24 2016.

If you travel after that date, I suggest you to contact us right after June 24.

Cordially,

If Argentina is readmitted to the Visa Waiver program or if substantial progress toward readmission has been made, the reciprocity fee suspension will become permanent. If not, an extension probably won't happen.

Stay tuned those of you who are cruising next year.

Thanks for the info. I will look again after June of this year to see if the suspension is still in effect. :cool: Omy'car.

RECIPROCITY FEE SUSPENSION for US passport holders REMAINS IN FORCE

indefinitely UNTIL DEROGATION DECREE IS ISSUED

"The Migrations National Agency confirmed today that the suspension of the collection of reciprocity fees from US citizens, established by Disposition DNM No. 589/2016 as of March 24 2016 for a period of 90 days or until a Presidential Decree promoted by the said Agency is issued for its derogation, will remain in force.

The reciprocity fee still applies to Australian and Canadian passport holders.

The email you received about the reciprocity fee for US citizens from NCL is not updated.

According to the link I posted US citizens do NOT have to pay this fee

Looks like the exemption is now permanent for US passport holders.
