Citizens of those 3 countries will need to pay a fee upon entry to Argentina.  The fees are set at the following levels:

US Citizens:  USD$131

Australians:  USD$100

Canadians:  USD$70

Technically speaking, these are not visa fees, as Argentina does not require a visa for tourists entering the country for a stay of 3 months or less.  The fees reflect the amount that each country charges Argentinian citizens for a visa.  Thus the term, reciprocity fee.

The fee can be paid in cash (US dollars or Argentinian pesos), credit card, or traveller’s checks.
