Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your 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 routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at Ezeiza and other entry points. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb receipt, or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement, credit card, or cash available. Argentina does not enforce a specific minimum amount, but officers may ask if you look under-resourced. | Recommended |
Keep a digital copy of your passport
Take a photo of your passport's data page and any entry stamps. If you lose your passport, this makes replacement at the embassy much faster.
Overstaying is costly
Argentina fines overstayers at departure. The fine is roughly 50-100 USD, and you may be banned from re-entry for up to a year. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) or other airport
Follow signs to 'Migraciones' (Immigration). Join the queue for foreign passports. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will check your passport, may ask about your stay duration and return ticket, then stamp you in. The whole process usually takes 5-15 minutes.
2
Present documents if asked
If the officer requests proof of onward travel or accommodation, show the saved screenshots on your phone. Keep them easily accessible — don't dig through apps.
3
Collect baggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
