VISAS

 

Visas to enter the Argentine Republic are granted according to three categories: transient, temporary, and permanent. Foreign citizens can only apply for temporary or permanent visas at the Argentine consulate in their country of residence. These categories require an entry permit in addition to a visa.

 

TRANSIENT VISAS

Transient (short-term) visas include the following categories: transit, tourism, medical treatment, business, and other paid or non-paid activities (cultural, artistic, religious, technical and professional activities that have been required by persons or entities established in Argentina).

Japanese citizens do not require a visa to enter the Argentine Republic for a period of a maximum of 90 days (renewable for another 90 days in Argentina) under the following transient categories: tourism, business, or non-paid activities.

Other foreign citizens can call the consulate or visit the following website to check if they require a visa (for tourist visas click here).

Since the requirements may vary depending on your passport, we strongly suggest that you apply for a visa at least 30 days prior to the date of your departure.
