Argentina business visa and TIE 24 H electronic entry

The Cancillería describes two routes. Citizens of countries that require a visa apply for a business visa at any Argentine consulate. Citizens of countries that are exempt from the tourist visa can use the TIE 24 H, an online procedure for professional, artistic, business and study activities that starts in the DNM's RaDEX system and continues with the Argentine consulate you choose.

The consulate asks for a passport valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, two 4x4 cm photos, the FSV form, an invitation letter from a host registered in the national register of foreigners' sponsors (RENURE) describing your details, the activity and the length of stay, proof of your commercial or employment activity at home, a return ticket reservation, accommodation, and an interview. The fee is USD or EUR 200.

The business visa can be processed at any Argentine consulate, not only the one for your place of residence; the process is personal and starts by contacting the consulate for an appointment.

The DNM fee table sets 120 consular units for the electronic entry procedure in the subcategories covered by DNM dispositions 1170/2010, 1171/2010 and 2692/2011, and 80 consular units for the other special-reasons subcategories, in both cases complemented by a consular action that is charged separately.

Start the procedure online through RaDEX's entry permit steps, then contact the Argentine consulate you chose to complete the consular stage.

A host that is not yet registered in RENURE must write to requirentes@migraciones.gov.ar to register. The foreign ministry recommends not buying tickets until the visa has been granted, and meeting the listed requirements does not guarantee one.
