Argentina : Handbook : Visas and Consulates

VISAS AND CONSULATES   

Visas

Citizens of countries like United States, Canada, Spain and the United Kingdom do not need a visa to enter Argentina for a maximum of 90 days; nevertheless you must carry a valid passport. Citizens of Argentina's neighboring countries like Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil only need their identification card in order to enter the country.

For other countries it is advisable to ask about visas in an Argentine consulate or embassy.

Visa Extensions

Upon entering the country visitors receive a tourist visa stamp valid for 90 days, which can be renovated for 90 days more once the first term is over. This must be done through the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (Immigration) or at the address: Av. Antártida Argentina 1355, Capital Federal. Tel: 43170200.

Traveling with Minors

In Argentina, people over 21 years old are considered of legal age, therefore, any person less than 21 years of age wanting to enter the country alone or with a person that is not a legal guardian must present a written authorization signed by their mother, father, or guardian endorsed by the Argentine consul in the place of origin. The document can be included in the minor’s passport.
