Overview

90-day tourist entry for non-visa-waiver citizens, extendable once for an additional 90 days.

The Argentine Tourist Visa (Visa de Turista) is a short-stay permit under National Migration Law No. 25.871 for foreign nationals without visa-waiver access to Argentina. It is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and requires proof of funds, accommodation, and a return ticket. The visa is strictly non-immigrant: it prohibits any paid work.

The visa grants an initial 90-day stay, renewable once for another 90 days (180 days total) at a Migraciones office. Application fee: USD 150. Standard processing takes 10 business days to 6–8 weeks by consulate; expedited service (3–5 days) costs an additional USD 40.

This visa is ideal for leisure travelers and those visiting family from nations without reciprocal exemptions who wish to explore Argentina for up to six months.
