Argentina Visa Cost Calculator

The tourist visa is Argentina's workhorse category: single entry, tourism or family visits, and the $100 base fee this calculator starts from. At $150, the multi-entry option suits anyone whose Argentina trip is really two trips — one border hop in the middle changes the math fast. Argentina's business category runs $250 and asks for an invitation from the company you are visiting — budget for the letter as well as the fee.

If Argentina is merely between you and somewhere else, the transit visa at $30 prices the shortest lawful stay on the books. Most eligible passports clear Argentina on a visa-free or online authorisation paid by card at application — the calculator's total is unchanged, and there is no border cash step to plan for.

Four inputs drive an Argentina application: a passport valid six months beyond your stay, one compliant photo, proof of accommodation, and evidence you can fund the trip. Even the simplest route wants the core kit in digital form: Argentina's online portal takes the same documents a consulate would, as scans instead of paper. The $100 base fee is payable by card on Argentina's portal, or in ARS equivalent where the application is made in person.

Some Argentina missions add a biometric appointment; if yours does, book it the day you file, because appointment queues usually outlast processing queues. Late bookers pay the express premium — half as much again on the fee to compress Argentina's decision from weeks to days.

Start with the passport: Argentina wants six months of validity left and two blank pages, and will reject against either. Argentina's photo rule is the standard white-background print; bring a spare, because the application keeps the one you hand over. Three months of statements demonstrating $50–100 per day is the funds benchmark for Argentina; scrub nothing, redact nothing.

Round the file out with your flight itinerary and Argentina lodging confirmations that match your dates exactly — mismatches draw queries. An invitation letter from a registered Argentina company is the business-visa keystone; transit files live or die on the onward booking.

The standard Argentina decision typically lands within 5–15 business days, and seasonal backlogs push it to the top of that band. Express handling compresses the wait to 1–3 business days and multiplies the fee by 1.5 — $150 instead of $100 for a tourist visa to Argentina. Most Argentina refusals trace to fixable defects: an expiring passport, thin bank statements, or accommodation that stops a night short of the return flight.

Reapplication after an Argentina refusal is routine once the stated reason is addressed; decision letters name the defect explicitly. Pre-approved travellers sidestep the biggest queue at Argentina immigration — e-gates and fast lanes reward the online authorisation, and midweek morning landings clear fastest either way.
