Visa Overview

Sticker Visa

  • Argentina sticker visa is required for Indian passport holders who are not eligible for visa-free entry. It is issued as a physical visa sticker stamped in the passport after approval from the Embassy or Consulate of Argentina. The visa is generally granted for tourism, business visits, family visits, or short-term travel purposes, depending on the applicant’s profile and supporting documents.
  • The visa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days, and the validity, number of entries (single or multiple), and duration of stay are decided by the Argentine authorities based on case evaluation. Indian citizens holding a valid U.S. visa (such as B1/B2) or U.S. Green Card may be eligible for visa-free entry for tourism purposes, otherwise a sticker visa is compulsory before travel.
  • Applicants must submit complete documentation including financial proof, travel itinerary, accommodation details, and attend an embassy interview if required. Even after visa approval, final entry into Argentina is subject to immigration clearance at the port of entry, and travelers must carry all supporting documents for verification.

What are the Argentina visa requirements for Indians?
To apply for an Argentina tourist visa, Indian citizens must have the following documents:
  • Passport: When entering Argentina, bring the original and a copy of the passport, which must be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two (2) blank pages. 
  • Old visas and passports: If applicable, submit a copy of old or expired ones. 
  • Photograph: Three recent 4 x 4 cm colour photographs facing the camera against a white background.

  • Income Tax Returns: Last 3 Years of income tax returns demonstrating consistent income and overall financial stability.

  • PAN Card: This is your official taxpayer identification number issued by the Government of India.
  • Employment letter(if applicable): Submit the letter confirming your current employment status and duration (including leave duration), written on company letterhead, signed by the authority, notarised, and translated into Spanish (translation does not require notarization).

Do I need to submit my passport for the Argentina visa process?
Yes, you need to submit your passport for the processing of your Argentina visa application.

Apart from identification purposes, a passport is required to stamp your visa if approved. Once done, you can collect the passport from the visa application center, or it will be delivered to your doorstep if you apply through an authorized visa channel. 
How will I receive my Argentina visa once it is approved?
Once your visa application is approved, the Argentina visa will be stamped as a sticker on your passport. The visa sticker will mention important details such as your full name, passport number, nationality, date of issue, expiry date, and duration of stay permitted. 
How can I ensure my Argentina visa application is not rejected?
Here are a few points you can keep in mind to ensure that your Argentina visa application is approved: 
  • Error-free application: Complete the visa application form accurately and completely. The Argentinian government clearly specifies that intentionally submitting false information can even lead to permanent ineligibility to enter Argentina. Never sign the application you are submitting without reviewing it first for accuracy.
  • Valid passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your intended date of entry into Argentina and has sufficient blank pages. If not, renew your passport before applying. 
  • Recent photographs: It is important to submit recent passport-sized photographs that meet the specific requirements of the Argentinian immigration authorities. Avoid heavy filters to ensure you look the same way as seen in the photograph.
  • Valid supporting documents: Provide all required supporting documents, such as financial statements, employment and an invitation letter (if applicable). Make sure that the documents also meet the visa requirements. For example, when submitting bank statements and pay slips, ensure that they show sufficient funds to cover your stay in Argentina. 
  • Clear purpose of visit: Clearly state the purpose of your visit. Whether you are traveling for tourism, ensure you explain your intentions clearly and back them up with the necessary documents, such as invitation letters or travel itineraries.
What if my Argentina tourist visa application is rejected?
If your Argentina visa application is rejected, carefully review the reasons for rejection. Once you have identified the error, address it and consider reapplying. You can also consider seeking assistance from an authorized visa channel, like Atlys, which can increase the chances of getting your visa approved the second time.
Can I extend my Argentina visa?
Yes, you can extend your Argentina visa. You can do so at the National Directorate of Migration in Buenos Aires or at any immigration delegation or office in the country's interior. Please note an extension request must be made before your current visa expires.
Can Indians work on an Argentina tourist visa?
No, Indians cannot work on an Argentina tourist visa. Engaging in any work activities on a tourist visa is against the rules and can result in penalties or deportation. 

If you wish to work in Argentina, you must apply for a temporary work visa, usually valid for one year. You can check the requirements and conditions on the Argentina Embassy’s website.
Where will my passport be submitted for processing? What is my passport jurisdiction?
Passport jurisdiction refers to the specific embassy/visa application center assigned to process your visa application based on your current residence. At Atlys, we determine your jurisdiction the moment you enter your PIN code using our consulate detector tool.

The states under each consulate are shared below:
  • Consulate General and Promotion Center of the Argentine Republic in Mumbai: Maharashtra; 
  • Embassy of the Argentine Republic in New Delhi: All the states (except Maharashtra).
