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.

• Most routes from India pass through Europe, the US or the Gulf. Check transit visa rules for your connection.
• The Argentine peso fluctuates widely. Compare card and cash exchange rates before you pay.
• Argentina is on India's yellow fever list. Carry a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, as India checks it when you return and travellers without one can be quarantined.

• Travel insurance with medical cover is strongly recommended for every trip to Argentina.
