    Argentine nationals: outside foreign visitor-visa scope

    DNM's tourist visa matrix applies to foreign passport nationalities, not Argentine nationals.

    • This classification does not establish the documents, carrier requirements, dual-national treatment, exit conditions, or admission decision for a particular Argentine national.
    • It does not resolve entry when a dual national presents a different country's ordinary passport.

    DNM-listed ordinary passports: tourist visa exemption

    DNM's exhaustive ordinary-tourist passport matrix has no visa requirement in the ordinary-passport column for these nationalities.

    • This is limited to the DNM matrix's ordinary-passport tourist column. Blank ordinary-tourist cells are treated as the table's express visa-exempt entry rule; no complement is inferred.
    • A tourist enters for rest or recreation, is normally authorized for up to three months, may request one comparable extension, and may not perform remunerated work. Transit, frontier transit, crew, academic, medical, special, work, study, and residence are separate Migration Law categories.
    • Mercosur and associated-national rows remain ordinary visa-exempt entries, but DNM separately permits Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia to use specified valid national identity or travel documents. This passport policy does not extend that document option to other nationalities.
    • The ordinary-passport table separately shows diplomatic/service outcomes for some nationalities. This policy does not establish diplomatic, official, service, refugee, alien, emergency, laissez-passer, certificate-of-travel, residence, or other special-document treatment. Admission and any separate health, carrier, or border control requirements remain applicable.

    China, Dominican Republic and India: conditional ordinary tourist visa exemption

    Current 2025 Argentine resolutions waive both a consular visa and AVE for these ordinary passports only when the traveller presents the specified valid United States visa and stays within the stated tourist/business scope.

    • China and Dominican Republic require an ordinary passport plus a valid, current United States visa of a similar migratory category. Dominican Republic is tourist-only, up to 90 days; China is tourist or the specified business category, up to 30 days.
    • India requires an ordinary passport plus a valid, current United States visa of a similar migratory category, verified as required; it is tourist-only and up to 90 days. Its rule took effect 28 August 2025.
    • These are conditional exemptions, not general visa-free status for the passport codes. A person outside the stated conditions must obtain a consular visa; no change of migratory category is allowed and a single comparable extension remains subject to DNM assessment.
    • DNM's AVE portal also mentions a United States green card for China, while Resolution 316/2025's operative text specifies a valid United States visa. The resolution is treated as controlling for this legal condition; the portal wording is preserved as an operational discrepancy for review.

    DNM-listed ordinary passports: AVE electronic travel authorization

    The listed ordinary passport nationalities are eligible to seek Argentina's AVE electronic travel authorization instead of a consular tourist visa only when they meet DNM's additional United States document and history requirements.

    • AVE is an electronic travel authorization, not an eVisa or visa-on-arrival. It applies to valid ordinary passports travelling as tourists, only for nationalities in DNM's current AVE list.
    • An applicant must hold a valid United States B2, J, B1, O, P, E or H-1B visa covering the AVE processing, AVE validity and intended Argentine stay. A person from a United States visa-exempt jurisdiction may instead show a verified U.S. entry in the preceding two years, a valid ESTA, or one of the stated visas.
    • DNM says an AVE tourist authorization is valid for three months, permits a three-month tourist stay from first entry with multiple entries/exits, and may be extended once after DNM assessment. DNM has up to 20 working days to decide and may extend that period.
    • Taiwan's ordinary-tourist matrix row states 'visa / travel certificate'; AVE eligibility does not erase document-recognition or certificate requirements. The same caution applies to every diplomatic, official, service, special, refugee, alien, residence, work, study, crew, transit, or other non-ordinary-document case.
    • Approval is not guaranteed. Complete the fee step and online application through DNM; do not enter before the authorization is issued.

  5. Current official routeVisa required

    DNM-listed ordinary passports: consular tourist visa required

    DNM's exhaustive ordinary-tourist matrix expressly marks these nationalities 'REQUIERE VISA' or a visa/travel-certificate requirement. Any separate AVE or 2025 conditional United States-visa exception is retained as a narrow overlapping route, not silently converted into general visa-free access.

    • This policy consists only of DNM's explicit ordinary-tourist rows marked 'REQUIERE VISA' (and Kosovo/Taiwan's 'visa / travel certificate' rows). It is not a nationality complement inferred outside the official matrix.
    • China, India and the Dominican Republic have the separate conditional United States-visa tourist exemptions in the other policy; all three still display as visa-required in the matrix for travellers without that exception. The AVE-eligible countries likewise remain visa-required if the AVE conditions or authorization are absent.
    • For the consular tourist visa route, Argentina's official service guidance requires a passport valid for at least six months, a completed application, financial proof, return reservation, accommodation/itinerary or invitation, fee and consular interview. Apply through the Argentine consular representation with jurisdiction.
    • The tourist category is for rest/recreation, normally up to three months and renewable once; it does not permit remunerated work. Transit, crew, work, study, residence, diplomatic/official/service, refugee, special travel certificate and other Migration Law categories are separate and cannot be inferred from this ordinary-passport policy.
