What you need

  • Return or onward travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation or address while in Argentina
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Completed digital immigration form or arrival card as required by Argentine authorities
  • No visa or biometrics required within the 90-day visa-free period
  • Travel health insurance recommended, especially given Argentina's private healthcare costs

Visa types

  • No visa required for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period
  • Longer stays, study, or work require a residency visa applied for through the Argentine consulate before travel

Entry conditions

  • Maximum stay of 90 days per entry, extendable once for a further 90 days at the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones for an additional fee
  • Business visits are limited to meetings, conferences, and negotiations; paid work is not permitted
  • Officers may request proof of funds and onward travel at the port of entry
  • Multiple entries are allowed within the visa-free arrangement, subject to the cumulative 180-day rule

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the visa-free entry
  • Extension fee at Migraciones is typically the ARS equivalent of USD 60-100, subject to change with exchange rates
  • No VFS/BLS service required for the visa-free route
  • Entry processing at the airport border is typically a few minutes with no advance application needed

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Register for Argentina's online arrival/exit form in advance if required by the airline or immigration authority
  • Keep a copy of the passport bio page and entry stamp throughout the trip since local hotels commonly ask for it
  • If extending your stay, apply at Migraciones before the initial 90 days lapse to avoid an overstay fine
  • There is no Argentine consulate in Hong Kong; contact the Argentine Embassy in Beijing or Consulate in Guangzhou for consular matters
  • Carry both local currency (ARS) and USD, as Argentina's exchange rate system can be complex for visitors
