Do I need a Visa?
 

Hi,
I am looking to go to EZE at the end of the summer for some R&R. I am a US citizen. Do i need a Visa for a weekend stay? I could not understand the information on the embassy website.
I will be staying in the EZE area.

Thanks
Ben

I believe a US citizen can visit Argentina a lot longer than a weekend without a visa. Offhand, I think it was 6 months. You'll be given a form upon entry. You fill it out, they take half, you pay US$18 and turn the other half in when you leave. No visa, but bring your passport.

this comes from the Continental website.
No visa for 3 months.
onward ticket and show that you have the funds.
I have been there several times, nobody ever asked for a copy of my e-ticket or how much money I have.

For tourist purposes, US citizens do not ordinarily need to apply for a visa in advance of arriving in EZE.

Have valid US passport and return ticket for a weekend stay, enjoy your trip to EZE.

As a US citizen you don't need a visa for tourist purposes.
Like GUWonder said, just valid passport and return ticket.

90 day stay... no Visa with US Passport.

If you overstay, it is a 60 ARS fine payable at a convenient booth at EZE.

My son's passport will expire in less than 6 months. Some countries required the passport to be valid for 6 or months. Does Argentina have this requirement?

No it does not. I did it recently with 4 months validity.

Thanks soFlyOn.

Just to clarify, you don't pay anything to enter the country. The US$18 fee is a departure tax that every passenger must pay at the airport when leaving.

I guess I should have made that 2 sentences. ;)

you should also have said that it is 90 days not 6mos.

However for all the above this only applies to a tourist... 90 days ,, working, students, temporary residents etc need a visa.

Mea culpa. I should have looked it up. Of course with one extension, it becomes 6 months. :D
