Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in Argentina. Airlines sometimes ask for 6 months validity beyond your departure date — 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 a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing you leave within 90 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation, hostel booking, 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, credit card, or cash showing you have enough money for your trip. There's no fixed minimum, but around $50–$100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Argentina, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No visa extension available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Overstaying can result in fines and a ban from re-entering Argentina. Plan your exit accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before the flight
Check your passport validity (6+ months from entry date). Print or save digital copies of your return ticket, first night's accommodation, and travel insurance. Download an eSIM or buy a local SIM so you have data on arrival.
2
Arrive at Ezeiza or Aeroparque
Most international flights land at Ezeiza (EZE) or Aeroparque (AEP) in Buenos Aires. Follow signs to 'Migraciones' (Immigration). Queues can be 20–60 minutes depending on the time of day.
3
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer clearly — they speak Spanish, but English is understood at major airports. You'll receive an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually a green/red channel system — declare items if required. Then you're free to exit.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave Argentina before the 90 days are up. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a proper visa at an Argentine consulate before travel.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Argentine immigration. Renew your passport before traveling — it's not worth the risk.
Not if you're arriving directly from Europe. However, if you've recently visited a country with yellow fever (like Brazil or Bolivia), you may need proof of vaccination. Check with your doctor before travel.
Technically yes, but immigration may ask for proof of onward travel. It's safer to have a return or onward ticket booked — even a cheap bus ticket to Chile works.
No, there is no arrival declaration required for Lithuanian citizens. Just show your passport and answer any questions at immigration.
The official currency is the Argentine Peso (ARS). US dollars are widely accepted at the 'blue dollar' exchange rate, which is often better than the official rate. Bring crisp, new $100 bills for the best exchange. ATMs are available but have low withdrawal limits and high fees.
Typically 20–60 minutes depending on the number of flights arriving. Peak hours are late afternoon and evening. E-gates are available for some nationalities, but as a Lithuanian, you'll go through the manned booth.
