Visa & Entry

German citizens can enter Argentina visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism. Your passport must be valid on arrival. No minimum validity period is enforced, but at least 6 months is a safe bet. No return ticket is formally required, though airlines sometimes check before boarding.

The 90-day stay can be extended once for another 90 days at the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones in Buenos Aires or other major cities. The extension fee is around ARS 10,000. A common alternative is a quick trip to Uruguay or Brazil, which resets the 90-day clock on re-entry.

Argentina charges no reciprocity fee for German citizens. That fee was eliminated in 2019.
