Argentina to Burkina Faso visa requirements

Argentine (ordinary passport) travelers need a visa for Burkina Faso. The recommended and most reliable route is the official eVisa, applied for online before travel at visaburkina.bf. Argentina is also historically on the visa-on-arrival list, but VOA is now issued only in exceptional circumstances, so an eVisa secured in advance is strongly advised. Burkina Faso is not a visa-free destination for Argentine ordinary passport holders, and it is not part of the Schengen area. Argentina appears on Burkina Faso's visa-on-arrival list (94,000 CFA single entry), but Burkinabe authorities now state that arrival visas are granted only in specific exceptional cases. The practical, authority-recommended channel is the official electronic visa (eVisa) launched in August 2023 and administered through visaburkina.bf. Applicants complete an online form, upload a passport bio-page scan and a passport-style photo, pay the fee (single-entry roughly 94,000 CFA / about EUR 143 / USD 143), and receive an emailed authorization, typically within several business days. The eVisa authorizes a stay of up to 30 days for tourism on a single entry, with the document framework permitting stays up to 90 days for some categories. Passports must be valid at least six months beyond the entry date with blank pages. Note: Burkina Faso has been under heightened security and travel-advisory warnings since 2022; travelers should confirm requirements and security conditions close to departure, as the regional situation (ECOWAS withdrawal, AES bloc) is evolving. Apply only through the official portal to avoid third-party markups.
