Current Travel Conditions
What Travellers Should Know
Visa requirements
Visa requirements depend on nationality. Citizens of many countries can enter Argentina without a tourist visa for short stays, while travellers from other countries must obtain a visa before departure.
Passport requirements
Passport requirements depend on nationality. Travellers should ensure their passport and other travel documents meet Argentina’s current entry requirements before departure.
Entry and exit records
Argentina no longer routinely stamps passports on entry. Travellers who need official proof of their entry or exit can obtain information from Argentina’s immigration authorities.
Demonstrations and road closures
Political demonstrations are relatively common, particularly in Buenos Aires. Demonstrations and road blockades can occasionally disrupt major roads and cause significant transport delays.
Health information
Current U.S. travel guidance notes a Level 1 health notice concerning Andes virus, also known as hantavirus, in the region. The risk for most travellers is considered extremely low.
Latest Travel Changes
