Planning on staying less than 90 days as a tourist in Argentina? Go ahead and grab your passport, that is all you will need if you are coming from over 20 countries including the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. Different visas are given depending on whether you are in transit, doing business, or visiting as a tourist, so make sure you get the right one. If you are traveling for business you must contact the Argentinian consulate in advance.

If you want to extend your visa beyond the 90 days, you just may be able to add an extra 180 days, depending on your nationality. Present your passport to Direccion Nacional de Migraciones located on Av. Antártida Argentina 1350, in Retiro, Buenos Aires or phone 011/4312-3288 or 4311-4118 for more information.

While staying in Argentina, your passport serves as your identity card, make sure you photocopy the page with your entrance stamp and landing card and keep it on you at all times throughout your stay.
