Entry fee planned for U.S. visitors to Agentina
November 2, 2008
Argentina's interior minister says the country will soon charge visitors from the U.S. and 21 other nations a fee to enter Argentina.
The fee goes into effect Jan. 1 and will match what those countries charge Argentine tourists.
Although details have not been released, U.S. citizens will probably be charged $131, a fee that covers re-entry for 10 years. That's the equivalent of what the U.S. charges Argentine tourists.
Argentina joins Brazil, Bolivia and Chile in charging U.S. visitors a fee to enter the country.
Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo calls the fee ''an act of justice.''
