Do you need a visa to study in Argentina?

For the Summer in Argentina program, you will NOT need to obtain a visa prior to arrival. All US passport holders can enter and stay in Argentina for up to 90 days without a visa.

Until 2016, Argentina charged all US passport holders a $160 Reciprocity Fee in order to enter the country. By mid-2016 this was no longer required; however, we recommend double checking online at the Argentine Embassy website to make sure this is not necessary.

Please make sure you have a valid passport for your travels and check to ensure it will not expire any time soon. Also be aware that a badly damaged passport may be enough to deny you entry into Argentina; make sure all of your travel documents are in good condition!

IMPORTANT: CISabroad will only advise students on visa procedures for travel requirements for your CISabroad program. CISabroad is not responsible for advising students on visa issues if they plan to travel internationally before or after the program dates.

These instructions are intended for US passport holders. International students must also be aware of additional documentation and/or processing time needed for their visas. Please contact your Program Coordinator to discuss your visa.
