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 stay in Argentina. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Argentine immigration, but airlines sometimes enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Argentina | Immigration officers at Ezeiza and Aeroparque routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. A bus ticket to Chile or Uruguay also counts. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation, Airbnb confirmation, or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a recent bank statement, credit card, or cash available to show if asked. There is no fixed minimum amount, but around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Officers rarely request this for Danish passport holders. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding, and immigration checks it on arrival. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No visa needed, but have these ready
While there's no visa application, immigration officers can still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Keep digital copies on your phone to avoid delays.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration
At Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) or other international airports, follow signs to 'Migraciones' (Immigration). Expect a queue of 15–45 minutes depending on the time of day.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and (if asked) your return ticket and accommodation confirmation. The officer will scan your passport, ask a few questions (purpose of visit, length of stay), and stamp you in.
3
Receive entry stamp
You'll get a stamp in your passport with the date of entry and the number of days granted (usually 90). Check the stamp before leaving the counter.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually a green channel for nothing to declare and a red channel for goods over the duty-free limit.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Argentina before day 90 and re-enter (a 'visa run'). Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No, Argentina does not require yellow fever vaccination for entry from Denmark. However, if you've recently visited a country with yellow fever, you may be asked for proof.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or entry at immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced.
Technically, the visa-free entry is for tourism and business meetings, not for remote work. In practice, many digital nomads do it, but it's a grey area. For official work, you need a work visa.
No, Argentina does not require an online arrival declaration for Danish passport holders. You just fill out the standard immigration card on the plane or at the airport.
Overstaying can result in a fine (around 300–500 ARS per day overstayed, subject to change) and a potential ban from re-entering for a period. Always leave before day 90.
It's risky. Immigration may ask for proof of onward travel. If you don't have a return or onward ticket, you could be denied entry. Best to have a refundable onward ticket booked.
