Barry, that is amazing news. Where did you find the information?

It has been confirmed by the Argentine Embassy in Ottawa, Canada that anyone travelling on a Canadian passport must pay a Reciprocity Fee (or Tourist Fee) in the amount of USD 78.00 prior to entry into Argentina.

The fee is paid online and the receipt must be printed and kept with the passport and produced upon entry into Argentina. Passengers may also be asked to produce this information at time of flight check-in.

Persons travelling on an American passport do not, at the present time, have to pay this fee. However, it was suggested that this situation could change at any time.

Persons travelling on other passports should perhaps check to see if this is applicable to them.

When querying NCL I was told that nobody had to pay this fee. This was incorrect information.

For any Canadians travellers here is the link to the site for payment of this fee -
