Argentina allows citizens of more than 80 countries to enter without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. For a list of those countries, click here. Citizens of the United States are included in the visa exemption policy and may enter Argentina for tourism or business purposes.
Entry into Argentina using the visa exemption for United States citizens requires the following:
- A valid passport that with validity for the duration of your stay.
- One blank passport visa page.
Visitors are required to complete a customs declaration form when entering Argentina, which will request personal information including your name and passport number. I was directed to an immigration lane reserved for people with disabilities and was processed after only a few minutes waiting.
