argentine-chile re-crossing borders
 

hi, i plan ot zig zag down between argentina and chile, on the way to TDF.
do you have to sign out and then sign in every time, or is there a time frame that you can re-cross between the two counties with the same paperwork.
thanks, eric

Hi Eric,

Each time you exit Argentina you will need to present the temporary import document you received upon entering the country. They will simply withhold it for their files (later entered into a computer). When you re-enter Argentina you must get a new temporary import document. Sounds like a pain but it usually takes no more than 30 minutes.
It works the same way for Chile.

So in a nutshell, you need to go through the whole process every single time.
