Are there any immigrations forms into/out-of argentina where you'd
have to mark "purpose of visit" (business/tourist) ?
I don't remember, but I made no secret of the fact that I was going to
the various meetings.
Yup, I usually leave the business / tourist box blank, and when I get to
the immigrations person I simply say that I didn't know which one to check,
and that I'm here to attend $confernce_name.
Has always worked fine <knock wood, etc>
There was a special form to declare your mobile phone, which the customs
guy didn't even look at. Apparently there's a black market in phones or
they've been used as surrogate money or something.
Yup. The form asked me for make, model, serial and imei. I was surprised by
the last one, because I figure most people have no idea how to find this.
I've visited Argentina a few times now, the first time they actually looked
at the phone form, the last time(s) they ignored it...
