  • Keep your bank statements recent and clearly show a stable balance, as this is closely reviewed for tourist visa applications
  • Business applicants should provide a detailed invitation letter specifying the purpose, dates, and who is covering costs during the stay
  • Visa extensions inside Argentina are handled by the National Directorate of Migration and are possible for valid reasons, but should be requested before the original visa expires
