Visa and Entry Fee
ARGENTINA ENTRY FEE ANNOUNCEMENT
Effective December 2009, an entry fee to enter Argentina for reasons of tourism or business was implemented by the Argentine Government to citizens of AUSTRALIA, CANADA and the UNITED STATES. The payment of this "reciprocity fee" is not a Visa since Argentina does not require visa to nationals of the mentioned countries when traveling for tourism or business purposes. The Argentine Government set this entry fee on equal amounts to those Argentine citizens must pay when requesting a visa to travel to those countries. Nationals of Australia, Canada and the United States must pay the Entry Fee in the following amounts:
- Australians: US$ 100 (one hundred US dollars)
- Canadians: US$ 70 (seventy US dollars)
- US Citizens: US$ 140 (one hundred forty US dollars)
For Australians or Canadians: the payment of the Entry Fee is valid for one single entry.
For US citizens the payment of the Entry Fee is valid for multiple entries during a period of ten (10) years from the date of first entry.
This entry fee will be collected only at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport (EZE).
