Argentina Travel Guide  

Disclaimer: Please note that we at Sunburst International Risk Management provide the following information as a value-added service to our international clients and visitors of this website. We make every effort to verify the reports that are posted, but the accuracy and completeness of the information, and of any statements or opinions based
thereon, are not guaranteed. The reader
s assume all risks in using information on this page.

ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS:  A valid passport is required for all U.S. citizens.  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 an expired or damaged passport 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 U.S.  U.S. citizens who also have Argentine nationality and who remain in Argentina more than 60 days are required to depart Argentina on an Argentine passport.  The application process for an Argentine passport is lengthy, and the U.S. Embassy is not able to provide assistance in obtaining Argentine passports or other local identity documents.

Children under 21 years of age who reside in Argentina, regardless of nationality, are required to present a notarized document that certifies both parents' permission for the child's departure from Argentina when the child is traveling alone, with only one parent, or in someone else's custody (click on the "international child abduction" link below for more information). An airport tax is collected upon departure, payable in dollars or Argentine pesos. 

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION:   The public health system in Argentina provides emergency and non-emergency services free of charge to all, regardless of nationality or immigration status.  However, the quality of non-emergency care in public hospitals is generally below U.S. standards.  Medical care in private hospitals in Buenos Aires is generally good, but varies in quality outside the capital.  Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization in private facilities and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost thousands of dollars or more.  Private physicians, clinics, and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health services.

Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP 1-877-394-8747

MEDICAL INSURANCE:   The Department of State strongly urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and will cover prior conditions and emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.

REGISTRATION/EMBASSY AND CONSULATE LOCATIONS:   Americans living or traveling in Argentina are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy through the State Department website, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within Argentina. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the U.S. Embassy.  By registering, American citizens make it much easier for the Embassy or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency.  The U.S. Embassy is located at Avenida Colombia 4300 in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires (near the Plaza Italia stop on the "D" line subway).  The main Embassy switchboard telephone is (011)(54)(11) 5777-4533.  Recorded consular information, including instructions on whom to contact in case of an American citizen emergency, is available at tel. (54)(11) 4514-1830. The main Embassy fax is (54)(11) E5777-4240.  The Consular Section fax is (011)(54)(11) 5777-4293.  The Consular Section is open to the public from 8:30a.m. – 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on American and Argentine holidays. Additional information on Embassy services available to U.S. citizens is available on the Internet at http://buenosaires.usembassy.gov, or by e-mail: BuenosAires-ACS@state.gov.
