Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Argentina. Airlines check this at check-in, so verify your passport's expiry date before booking. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Argentina | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at Ezeiza and other entry points. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing access to funds. There's no fixed minimum amount, but around $500 USD equivalent is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Visa-free entry confirmed
Bosnian passport holders can enter Argentina without a visa for up to 90 days. No application, no fee, no embassy visit needed. Just your passport and a return ticket.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration
At Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) or other international airports, follow signs to 'Migraciones' (Immigration). Queues can be long — expect 20-40 minutes during peak hours.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and return ticket (if asked). The officer will scan your passport, stamp it, and usually ask your purpose of visit. Answer briefly: 'tourism' or 'visiting friends'.
3
Receive entry stamp
You'll get an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days. Check the date written — it's your allowed stay. Keep the stamp visible; don't cover it with other documents.
4
Exit immigration
After the stamp, you're free to collect your luggage and proceed through customs. No additional forms or fees for visa-free entry.
