Frequently asked questions about the Argentina eTA / AVE

Can I apply for an Argentina eTA/AVE instead of a visa?

If your nationality requires a visa to enter Argentina, having an eligible US visa makes you eligible to apply for the AVE (electronic authorization) instead of a much more complex paper visa at a consulate.

If you don’t have an accepted US or Schengen visa, you’ll have to apply for a Argentina visa.

How will I receive the Argentina eTA/AVE?

While the authorization is linked to your passport, Argentine immigration officers frequently require a physical printed copy of the AVE and the payment receipt. We recommend carrying two printed copies just in case.

You can also find a copy of your eTA/AVE confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.

Can I extend my stay in Argentina?

If you wish to stay longer, you can visit the National Directorate of Migration in Buenos Aires or other regional offices to request a one-time extension for an additional 90 days.

How long can I stay in Argentina?

The AVE is typically valid for 90 days from the date of issuance and allows for multiple entries. Each stay is generally granted for up to 90 days, but can’t exceed the validity period.

What is the processing time of an Argentina eTA/AVE?

Unlike some electronic systems that are instant, the Argentina AVE can take 10 to 20 business days to process. With iVisa, you can get it as fast as 6 business days.

Do children/minors need an Argentina eTA/AVE?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual eTA/AVE.

You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

Can I enter Argentina by land with an AVE?

Generally, no. The AVE is primarily designed for travelers arriving by air.

If you plan to enter via a land border (e.g., from Chile or Brazil), you should verify current regulations, as many land border points still require a traditional sticker visa for nationalities that are not visa-exempt.
