Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Argentina, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at the embassy
Contact the Argentine embassy or consulate in Jordan (or the nearest one if there's no embassy in Amman). Submit the application form, passport, photos, and any supporting documents. Pay the visa fee and attend an interview if required. Processing takes 2–4 weeks.
2
Wait for visa approval
Once approved, the visa will be stamped in your passport. Check the validity dates — you must enter Argentina before the visa expires.
3
Prepare your documents for travel
Before you fly, print or save digital copies of your visa, passport, return ticket, hotel booking, and insurance. Keep them in your carry-on.
4
Arrive at an Argentine airport
At immigration in Buenos Aires (EZE or AEP) or other airports, present your passport with the visa, return ticket, and accommodation proof. The officer may ask about your plans — answer clearly. You'll get an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days.
