Argentina entry requirements for international tourists - Update
International tourists entering Argentina must present a valid passport, which must have a validity of at least six months from the date of entry into Argentina. Argentina uses a digital entry system and no longer stamps physical passports upon entry or exit for the majority of travelers.
Citizens of MERCOSUR member countries and associated states (Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia) may also enter Argentina with a valid national ID.
Citizens from over 120 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, and New Zealand, do not require a tourist visa for stays up to 90 days. However, there are a hundred countries that do require a visa. You can check which tourists must apply for a visa to travel to Argentina for tourism, all the requirements and procedures it in this article.
If you are traveling to Argentina with children and teenagers under 18 years of age, note that each minor must have their own valid passport. Besides, if traveling with one parent only or a third party, a notarized permission from both parents or legal guardian is required.
Argentina does not require any mandatory vaccines for entry. A yellow fever vaccine is only recommended if you plan to visit rural or jungle destinations in the north of the country, like Iguazu Falls.
Although it has been announced that since May 2025 all travelers must have mandatory health insurance to enter Argentina, this measure is still not being enforced at Immigration. Even so, carrying a comprehensive policy is strongly advised.
Additionally, border officials may request your itinerary, lodging confirmation, return flight, and proof of funds upon arrival. Please note that meeting these criteria does not ensure entry, as final admission depends entirely on Argentine immigration officers.
If you plan to rent a car in Argentina, you don't need an International Driver's licence, just a valid licence from your country of origin.
This information may be subject to change. It is always advisable to check the latest information on the Argentine Embassy or Consulate in your country before traveling.
Greetings Sandy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this update. I'm happy to see it. The part about proof of health insurance would be one thing to give me pause. I understand it to mean that I'd need to purchase international travel insurance that specifically includes any and all treatment for the Covid virus and variants. Is such insurance available for a period of one month?
Hello Geoffrey! You must have medical insurance with comprehensive cover for COVID-19, including hospitalization and the costs of self-isolation if required. I assume you will be able to purchase this kind of insurance for any length of travel from any of the travel insurance companies.
DeleteRegards!
