Technically correct - no visa required. But Canadian passport holders need to pay a "Reciprocity Fee" of $75 single entry, $150 multiple entry.
In accordance to Decree 1654/08 the Government established a Reciprocity Fee to Canadian nationals, who holding ordinary passports to enter Argentina for tourism purposes.
The Reciprocity Fee is currently perceived only in Buenos Aires at the "Ezeiza International Airport Ministro Pistarini" and "Aeroparque Jorge Newbery".
In accordance to Disposition "DNM" 2379/2010, the amount of the reciprocity fee is 75.00 U.S. dollars for one entry and 150 U.S. dollars for multiple entries valid for 5 years.
The payment of the reciprocity fee by the Canadian nationals for a single entry to Argentina of 75 U.S. dollars will allowed them to visit any of our neighboring countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay) and re-entry to Argentina, without having to pay the reciprocity fee again, during the period of authorized stay in Argentina of 90 days.
Argentine nationals who are Canadian citizens will not pay the Reciprocity Fee when travelling to Argentina with Canadian passport.
