Argentina Visa for Canada Citizens 2026

Visa Free

Canadian citizens can enter Argentina visa-free for stays of up to 90 days — no advance application needed, just a valid passport at the border.

Guide last updated September 28, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of your stay
  • Proof of onward/return travel if requested
  • Proof of sufficient funds for your stay
  • Accommodation details (hotel booking or host address)
  • No visa application, photos, or biometrics required for entry
  • Travel health insurance is recommended but not mandatory

Visa types

  • No visa is required for stays up to 90 days for tourism or business visits
  • Longer stays, work, or study require a separate visa applied for through the Argentine consulate in Canada before travel

Entry conditions

  • Canadian passport holders receive a free entry stamp valid for up to 90 days on arrival at Argentine airports and land borders
  • Employment during this stay is not permitted without a separate work visa
  • Entry is available at Ezeiza International Airport (Buenos Aires) and numerous land crossings from neighboring countries
  • A one-time extension of up to 90 additional days can be requested at Argentina's Dirección Nacional de Migraciones, typically for a modest fee

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the visa-free entry
  • No processing time, since clearance happens directly at the border or airport on arrival
  • A fee (payable in Argentine pesos) applies for the optional 90-day in-country extension

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Carry proof of accommodation and onward travel, as immigration officers occasionally ask for it
  • If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, apply for the extension before your initial stay expires to avoid overstay fines
  • Note that a reciprocity fee some nationalities once faced was discontinued — confirm current requirements before travel
  • Track your entry date carefully, since overstaying results in a fine payable on departure
