Detailed Information

A valid passport is required for U.S. citizens to enter Argentina.  U.S. citizens do not need a visa for visits of up to 90 days for tourism and business.  U.S. citizens who arrive in Argentina with expired or damaged passports may be refused entry and returned to the United States at their own expense.  The U.S. Embassy cannot provide guarantees on behalf of travelers in such situations, and therefore encourages U.S. citizens to ensure their travel documents are valid and in good condition prior to departure from the United States.
