Visa requirements for Argentine citizens

Argentine citizens can enter all 29 Schengen states without a visa, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole area.

Of the 198 countries whose entry rules are known in both directions, Argentina and 87 of them let each other’s citizens in without a visa obtained in advance (visa-free, on arrival or with an ETA; an e-visa counts as a visa).

3 countries ask holders of the Argentine passport for a visa beforehand, although their own citizens enter Argentina without one: Australia, Canada and United States.

The reverse holds for 61 countries: holders of the Argentine passport get in without a visa obtained in advance, but their citizens need one for Argentina (Albania, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Bahrain and 56 others).

21 countries ask holders of the Argentine passport for a visa obtained before travel from an embassy, a consulate or a visa centre. 4 of them have an embassy or consulate on record in Argentina.

17 countries have no embassy or career consulate on record in Argentina, so the application usually goes to one of their posts in another country.

The United States refused 7.5% of visitor-visa (B1/B2) applications from citizens of Argentina in fiscal year 2025, by the State Department’s adjusted refusal rate. 17 of the 197 nationalities with a published rate had a lower one and 179 a higher one; the middle value was 32%.

Visa-free travel with the Argentine passport

By continent, the Argentine passport is visa-free in 45 countries in Europe, 30 countries in the Americas, 18 countries in Asia, 9 countries in Africa and 4 countries in Oceania. The longest visa-free stays for Argentine citizens are allowed in Georgia (360 days), Antigua and Barbuda (180 days), Armenia (180 days), Costa Rica (180 days), Dominica (180 days) and Mexico (180 days).

Visa on arrival

Argentine citizens can get a visa at the airport or land border of Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, the Comoros, Djibouti and 28 others.

E-Visa and electronic travel authorisation

An e-Visa, applied for online before the trip, is how Argentine citizens enter Australia, Azerbaijan, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad and 22 others. Israel, Ivory Coast, Kenya, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, South Korea and the United Kingdom ask instead for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), a lighter online check than a visa.
