About the Argentina visa

Argentina offers Buenos Aires' tango and food scene, the Iguazú Falls, the glaciers of Patagonia and the wine country of Mendoza. Indian passport holders need prior authorisation to enter, and the route depends on the documents you hold.

Indians who hold a valid US tourist visa can usually apply online for Argentina's Electronic Travel Authorization (AVE). Other travellers apply for a tourist visa through the Embassy of Argentina in New Delhi or the consulate in Mumbai.
