Fresh Visa Info
We're parked for a day in Iguazu Falls, and thought I'd pass on what our experience has been with the reciprocal visa charge issue coming down from the US. We've passed through all central and south american countries with a Pacific coast, plus Bolivia. In other words we did NOT visit Guyana, Suriname, Venezuala, Brazil (see below), Paraguay and Uruguay.
We each paid $135 for a five year visa in Bolivia. Contrary to what we had heard, we paid nothing to enter Chile, or Argentina (by land). We attempted (yesterday) to enter Brazil for the day to see the falls from that side -- upshot is that we were sent to the Brazilian consulate and learned that the cost would be 546 Pesos each, with no available break for a day trip -- same cost for a minute or a year. We decided the cost was too dear and declined.
Visa fee was either nothing or pocket change in all other countries. YMMV...
cheers!
Haciendolo…
