Argentina Duck & Dove Hunting Affected by New Reciprocity Fees 

For United States residents planning to go Argentina duck hunting, dove hunting or touring during the upcoming year (2013 or beyond), changes regarding Argentina’s reciprocity fee are very important.

EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 29, 2012, IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID THE ENTRY FEE ONLINE AND PRIOR TO TRAVEL YOU WILL BE DENIED ENTRY INTO ARGENTINA.

Background: In 2008, the Argentina Immigration Department enacted policy requiring nationals of the United States, Canada and Australia to pay a fee to enter Argentina. It’s not a visa but a “reciprocity fee” to those countries that charge Argentineans to enter their country. This entry fee is good for 10 years. If you have visited Argentina any time since 2008 and paid this fee, your payment will be evidenced by a Reciprocity Fee Certificate sticker that was placed in the back of your passport.

Passengers travelling to Argentina on or after December 29th will need to pay the Reciprocity Fee online before arriving. Please note, too, that we are hearing that this policy will be effective at all airports in Argentina, not just at Ezeiza (EZE)!

Please note that passengers who have already paid the fee are good for 10 years, and do not need to pay again until the certificate’s expiration date. If you do not have the Reciprocity Fee Certificate pasted in one of your passport pages you will need to pay the fee online. Starting on September 1st, 2012, any passenger visiting Argentina with an American, Canadian or Australian passport will be required to pay the Reciprocity Fee online and in advance.

This new online system will work in tandem with the regular collection service performed at Ezeiza Airport (EZE) until December 28th, 2012 and at Jorge Newbery Airport until October 31st, 2012. After these dates, all Reciprocity Fee payments will need to be made online.

American, Canadian and Australian passport holders visiting Argentina will be required to pay the reciprocity fee online at the following sites: https://virtual.provinciapagos.com.ar/ArgentineTaxes/ or www.migraciones.gov.ar.

You will be required to create a username and password. Once you’ve done this, follow the instructions.

You must register and pay with a credit card. Once the payment is received, an electronic receipt will be given which you will need to show upon your arrival in Argentina. The lack of such proof of payment will result in the denial of entry and consequent returning to your departure city by the airline. We strongly urge passengers to take the necessary precautions so that those who travel to the aforementioned airports with an arrival scheduled on or after November 1st, 2012 (Jorge Newbery) and December 29th, 2012 (Ezeiza) have the electronic receipt with them.

Global Sporting Safaris advises travelers to place this receipt in their passport, and to store copies of this receipt along with copies of their passport and other vital documents.

How can I pay the Reciprocity Rate?

The traveler must enter the Provincia Pagos website at: www.provinciapagos.com.ar and register to start the process.

Complete the form with the corresponding personal and credit card information. The information provided by the traveler and the income code is sent to the DNM online.

Print the payment receipt.

Upon arrival in Argentine territory, go to the DNM Office and present the printed ticket.

The ticket is scanned by the DNM staff; the data are validated and you are allowed to enter the country.

Duck Hunter’s Top-10 List

A lot of folks keep “to do” lists for their adult lives. For some, the list is studded with sincere goals or accomplishments and may feature such endeavors as “finish master’s degree” or “bicycle through Italy.” Others compile lists that are more adrenaline charged; they want to check the box next to “scuba dive with sharks” or “bungee jump.”

But if you are the kind of person who would rather be in a duck blind on a bright November morning than anywhere else, you don’t want to jump off a perfectly good bridge anyway. In your world, bungee cords are meant to hold duck boats in pickup beds. So when the editors of Ducks Unlimited asked me which items I might include on a duck hunter’s “life list,” I compiled the following summary of 10 defining tasks and unique destinations for waterfowlers. Perhaps my suggestions, presented here in no particular order, will inspire you to create and pursue a list of your own.

1. Hunt the Canadian Prairie in Early Fall

Whether you choose Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, an early-season trip to Canada will change your perspective on ducks and duck hunting forever. Hunting seemingly endless prairie dotted with sapphire potholes is truly magical. And this isn’t like duck hunting at home; you can’t just put out your decoys and wait. In Canada, you must go to the birds. That means driving the countryside to find them and then making plans to be under them before they return the next morning.

You can hunt ducks on big water or small potholes, but what defines prairie waterfowling is dry-land hunting in immense agricultural fields. Once you have been under the milling vortex of hundreds or even thousands of mallards pouring into a pea field or have seen the golden sun set across a sweeping horizon of cut barley, then you can say you’ve experienced the prairie in the fall, the place where the migration begins.
