Entry Information - Passport & Visa
Most of the tourist information needed before entering the country can be found online. Alternatively, a travel agent is usually available to assist in making the arrival in-country as painless as possible. Visitors to the country should be certain that all the documentation is in order before arriving at the airport.
Visa
The need to have a visa to enter the country of Argentina will vary according to the country of origin. The visitor from the United States of America, for example will not require a visa to enter, so long as the purpose of the visit is clearly stated as "Tourism." The length of a tourist visit is limited to 90 days. Other countries, such as the United Arab Emirates DO require a visa in order to travel in this region. The procedure for requesting and receiving a visa can be noted by visiting the appropriate web site.
Entry
When all the appropriate tourist information has been completed and the person allowed entry into the country, it is not usually a traumatic experience. Depending upon the reason for entry, there may be taxes or fees assessed against the visitor to the country. The documents required for entry will vary according to the type of stay that is planned by the tourist or other visitor. Generally, if arriving from the United States, the visitor will need a U.S. passport that is valid for three months beyond the planned stay; tickets for returning or traveling on; and vaccination certificates in some instances.
Passport
The passport must be valid and must not expire prior to the planned return to the home country from Argentina. In many instances, the passport will be the major documentation needed for entry into Argentina. The prospective visitor should contact the appropriate consulate or web site for additional tourist information about the country.
