Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Argentina. Croatia passport holders get 90 days visa-free, so your passport just needs to cover those 90 days. Airlines at Zagreb and Buenos Aires check this at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Argentina | Immigration at Ezeiza and Aeroparque routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before stamping you in. A bus ticket to Chile or a flight to Brazil works — just show you're leaving within 90 days. Budget airlines check this before boarding too. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation ready. If staying with friends, a simple letter with their address and phone number is fine. Officers rarely ask, but when they do, they want a specific address in Argentina. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to around $500–$1,000 USD equivalent. Immigration doesn't usually check, but if you arrive without a return ticket or clear plans, they may ask. A screenshot of your banking app works. | Recommended |
90-day stay is not extendable
The visa-free entry gives you exactly 90 days. You cannot extend it. Plan your trip accordingly, and leave before the 90 days are up to avoid fines or entry bans.
