If you are leaving and plan to re-enter Argentina later, be sure to surrender your TVIP when leaving. I met a French rider in October 2023 entering Argentina from Paraguay. He offered to surrender his TVIP document when leaving Argentina for Uruguay. The casual Argentine border official for reasons that were not explained, didn't take the documents. A few weeks later the rider arrived at the border of Argentina/Paraguay...and the Argentine officials delayed his entry for several hours because the paperwork wasn't turned in when he last left Argentina.
Bottom line: the safest step is to always turn in your TVIP when leaving a country and always check the end date.
For those planning to go back and forth between Chile and Argentina, you'll need to turn in your TVIP each time.
PS: Always check the dates entered by tired and underpaid border officials may include typos, no extra charge. Ask me how I know.
