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 time you plan to stay in Argentina — no 6-month rule here. Airlines may still ask for 6 months validity at check-in, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Argentina | Immigration at Ezeiza and Aeroparque routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — a bus ticket to Uruguay or Chile works if you're leaving overland. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a return ticket. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a friend in Argentina covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Not always requested, but have a bank statement or credit card showing access to around $500 USD equivalent. Cash declarations over $10,000 USD must be declared at customs. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration officers can still deny entry if they suspect you'll overstay or work illegally. Have your return ticket and accommodation details ready.
Overstay penalties
Overstaying even a day can lead to fines and future entry bans. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
