  1. My brother already went to Eiza immigration and they told him that it was better to change our trip because those flights are not approved until after 29 November that the decree is only for nationals and residents of bordering areas.

  2. Good afternoon Nicolás, I have a trip from Medellín Buenos Aires for 20 of November, but when I check the requirements to enter it says that transits from Panama are not accepted. Only the bordering ones. And I called to change the flights but they told me that they don't have any more routes open yet for Argentina.
