What is the Argentina AVE?

The AVE (Autorización de Viaje Electrónica) is an online travel authorisation issued by the National Directorate of Migration. It allows multiple entries and a stay of up to 90 days without a consular appointment.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months from arrival, a valid US visa or qualifying document where required, proof of onward travel and a valid email address. We review each document before submitting.

How long does the AVE take?

The AVE is processed by the migration authority and can take around 20 business days, so apply well ahead of travel and track it until it is emailed to you.

How long can I stay in Argentina?

A tourist stay is up to 90 days and can be extended once for a further 90 days at the migration office.

How long is an Argentina visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Argentina Electronic Travel Authorization permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 90 days from issue (multiple entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Argentina applications are refused.
