Argentina visa requirements by nationality
Whether you need a visa for Argentina depends on the passport you hold. Of the 15 most-checked passports, 12 enter visa-free and 3 need to apply for something in advance. Visa-free stays run to 90 days depending on nationality. Find your passport in the table below for the exact rule, the stay length, the passport validity required, and any arrival registration you have to complete separately.
Argentina sets its own entry requirements. There is no shared South American visa, so permission for a neighbouring country does not cover Argentina. The answer also depends on why you are travelling. The rule for a holiday is often not the rule for work, study or a long stay, so check that the answer you are reading is the one for your trip.

What to do next
The part most visa checkers leave out: what actually needs doing before you fly.
Confirm with the official source
Rules change without notice, and only the immigration authority of Argentina can tell you where you stand. Search for its official site before you travel.
Check your passport
Passport validity required: valid on arrival. Renew first if you are close, because this is the most common reason travellers are turned away.
Check the rule for your own passport
What Argentina asks for depends on the passport you travel on, and the table above differs from row to row. Open your nationality for the stay length, the validity required and whether anything has to be applied for.
