Entrance
Buenos Aires is a port of entry for Argentina. For details see Entrance: Argentina.
Clearing in to Buenos Aires is relatively simple, but needs some leg work and must be completed within 24 hours of arrival. You need to take, not only your passports, ship's papers and clearance from your last port but also a letter from the marina ( Pto Madera or YCA) stating that your yacht is indeed in the port. You must first attend the Immigration building at Av. Antartida Argentina 1355 close west of Darsena Norte. The person who deals with yachts has an office buried deep within the bowels of the building . Next call is either at the Prefectura office situated between the bridges 3 and 4 in the Puerto Madero complex. The next step is the office of Direccion General de Aduanas to get your Certificado de Admision Temporal, Is inside the ferry station ( BUQUEBUS STATION ) , near 100 mts from YCA or Yacht Club Puerto Madero.
When shifting ship up to the San Fernando area there is no requirement to do any further paperwork.
