Argentina began to massively refuse Russians to extend tourist visas.

According to a statement by the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Argentina, the migration service of this country began to massively refuse Russians to extend their tourist stays and issue residence permits. Some Russian citizens have already received an order to leave Argentina as soon as possible "under the threat of initiating deportation procedures."

According to sources, this is due to the fact that the migration service has classified Russia as a country with a high risk of immigration violations. As noted, the migration authorities of Argentina identified unscrupulous Russian citizens abusing the right to tourist stay and decided to take tough measures against all Russian citizens who wish to visit Argentina. However, there is evidence that in reality this is due to pressure exerted on Argentina by the United States and European countries.

There are no official comments as to why this phenomenon is massive.
