4. ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS

It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. All countries or regions have special requirements for persons intending to reside for extended periods (usually more than 90 days) or who plan to work, study, or engage in non-tourist activities. To obtain information on specific entry requirements, contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) to be visited. Violations of entry and exit requirements may result in serious penalties.

The following information on entry and exit requirements has been confirmed with the Argentinean authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is the traveller's responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Argentine Republic or its consulates for up-to-date information.

A valid Canadian passport is required for Canadians intending to visit Argentina. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your expected departure from the country. Passports are required as identification for internal flights.

Reciprocity fee
Canadian tourists have to pay a reciprocity fee of USD 70 (valid for one entry) on arrival at the Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires. This fee will be payable in cash, by credit card or by traveller’s cheques prior to clearing immigration at the airport. Those entering Argentina on a Canadian passport with a valid visa will not have to pay the reciprocity fee. Dual nationals will also be exempt, even when entering on a Canadian passport. This fee will not apply at any other port of entry by air, land or sea.
