What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond intended stay, with 2 blank pages
  • Completed online visa application form (Argentina's consular visa system)
  • Two recent passport-size photos (4x4 cm, white background)
  • Proof of funds: bank statements for the last 3-6 months
  • Confirmed round-trip flight itinerary
  • Hotel booking or letter of invitation if staying with a host
  • Travel health insurance covering the full stay (strongly recommended)
  • Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) collected in person at the consulate or VFS-style visa center handling Argentine applications
  • No embassy of Argentina in Islamabad — applications are typically routed through Buenos Aires' nearest regional mission (commonly Dubai or New Delhi)

Visa types

  • Tourist visa (Visa de Turista): single or multiple entry, valid up to 90 days per stay, fee approx. USD 150
  • Business visa (Visa de Negocios): similar validity, requires an invitation letter from an Argentine company
  • Transit visa: for travelers connecting through Argentina, fee approx. USD 50, valid for short stopovers

How to apply

  • Complete Argentina's online consular visa application and print the confirmation page
  • Gather all supporting documents and book an appointment at the designated consulate
  • Attend the appointment in person for document submission and biometrics
  • Pay the visa fee by the method the consulate specifies (often bank transfer or card)
  • Track status via the consulate's reference number; passports are usually returned by courier or in-person collection

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist visa fee: approximately USD 150 (payable in local currency or USD depending on consulate)
  • No separate outsourcing/VFS service fee in most jurisdictions handling Pakistani applicants
  • Total estimated cost: USD 150-180 including courier/photo costs
  • Standard processing time: 15-20 business days
  • No official express service; allow extra time if applying through a third-country consulate

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Apply at least 6-8 weeks in advance given the lack of a local consulate
  • Common rejection reasons: insufficient funds shown, unclear travel purpose, no confirmed return ticket
  • Keep certified English/Spanish translations of Urdu-language financial documents
  • Check whether the Dubai or New Delhi consulate currently accepts Pakistani applications, as routing changes periodically
  • Extensions of stay (up to another 90 days) can be requested at Argentina's Dirección Nacional de Migraciones before the initial visa expires
