The period of stay can be extended only once for the same duration as the period originally granted. Application for this extension must be made prior to the expiration of the original term of stay.
Passports must be valid for at least 90 days from the date of arrival in Argentina.
Children under the age of 21 when travelling alone or with only one parent may be required to provide a letter of consent to travel from both, or the other, parent. Details of these requirements should be confirmed with your local Argentine embassy or consulate prior to making travel arrangements.
When entering Argentine Territory, the nationals of the following countries must pay the following "reciprocity fee" - Australians: US$100, Canadians: US$70, Americans: US$131.
Also be aware if you intend viewing The Iguaza Falls from the Brazilian side of Argentina and cross the Brazilian border you will need a Brazilian visa.
Passengers coming from countries not bordering Argentina are exempted from the fee on luggage content and on new products under US$300, plus an additional exemption of US$300 for goods that were bought in "duty free shops" authorized in the national territory.
Travellers arriving from countries where Yellow Fever or Cholera are present will need to provide a vaccination certificate.
As entry requirements may change from time to time it is strongly advised that you check with the department of foreign affairs or your local consulate or embassy for the current requirements.
