What's New
New Visa RegulationsAs of July 2010, there have been
some changes in the Argentine visa regulation system, particularly in the case
of transitory visas for travellers going to Argentina for less than 90 days,
who have to now comply with new regulations.
This is directed particularly to
those who require a visa to enter Argentina for artistic, cultural, religious,
professional and technical purposes. This category includes: technicians,
priests, singers, journalists, sportsmen and scientists. Such travelers will
have to comply with specific requirements, such as being invited from Argentina
for their particular purpose for a month at most. The invitation has to come
from a person or institution registered in the special registry “RENURE” by the
DNM (Argentine migration agency). There are some other minor requirements which
can be supplied by writing an email addressed to the Visa Section at
visa@cgmum.co.inLately
rigorous norms for the issual of visas have been established for those
who receive a letter of invitation to visit Argentina, whether they are
tourists, businessmen, scientists, artists, technicians, seamen,
professionals, business executives and reporters (if they will be in
Argentina for more than 30 days). The person or institution that
invites the visa applicant needs to do the proceeding in Buenos Aires
before the DNM. Once that proceeding is done, the DNM will send the
hard copy of a Permiso de Ingreso (Entry Permit) to the visa applicant
and the same document by intranet to the Consulate General. Once this
procedure is complete, the Consulate General will provide the visa on
the basis of appointment.
