REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS TO OBTAIN VISA TO ENTER ARGENTINA
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist or business travel to this country. A valid U.S. Passport
is required.
A visa is required for Official and Diplomatic passport holders.
Any other U.S. citizen who wishes to travel to Argentina for any purpose other than tourism or
business negotiations (e.g. work, study, adoption, immigration, or stays longer than stipulated in
the entry requirements) should contact directly, the embassy or nearest consulate.
What is Travel Registration?
Travel registration is a free service provided by the U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are
traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. Registration allows you to record information about your
upcoming trip abroad that the Department of State can use to assist you in case of an emergency.
Americans residing abroad can also get routine information from the nearest U.S. embassy or
consulate.
Why should I register?
Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S.
embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime,
accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an
emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign
travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information.
By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them
the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel
planning and security.
How can the embassy or consulate assist me while I am abroad?
U.S. consular officers assist Americans who encounter serious legal, medical, or financial
difficulties. Although consular officers cannot act as your legal counsel or representative, they can
provide the names of local attorneys and doctors, provide loans to destitute Americans, and
provide information about dangerous conditions affecting your overseas travel or residence.
Consular officers also perform non-emergency services, helping Americans with absentee voting,
selective service registration, receiving federal benefits, and filing U.S. tax forms. Consular officers
can notarize documents, issue passports, and register American children born abroad. Most
embassies and consulates have web sites with more information.
Registration through this website is NOT considered proof of U.S. citizenship. If you apply for any
American citizen services from the embassy or consulate while abroad, you will be asked by the
consular staff to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a U.S. passport or American birth
certificate.
How will my information be used?
The Department of State and its overseas embassies and consulates request this information only
to inform and assist Americans traveling or residing in foreign countries. All personal information
you provide is secure and protected by the Privacy Act of 1974.
