Argentina to Benin visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Benin, but they can apply online for an official eVisa before travel. Argentina is not on Benin's visa-exempt list, and there is no visa-on-arrival for general tourists, so the eVisa via the government portal evisa.bj is the correct channel. As of 2026, an Argentine (AR) ordinary passport holder traveling to Benin (BJ) for tourism must obtain a visa. Benin does not grant visa-free entry to Argentine citizens; visa-free 90-day access is reserved mainly for African Union member states plus a small list of other countries (Argentina is not among them). The practical and recommended route is the official Benin eVisa, applied for fully online at the government portal evisa.bj before departure. Tourists choose among three eVisa products: 30 days single entry (EUR 50), 30 days multiple entry (EUR 75), and 90 days multiple entry (EUR 100). Processing is typically completed within 48-96 hours, and applicants are advised to apply at least 7 days before travel. The eVisa must be printed and carried; final entry remains at the discretion of immigration officers at the border. There is no general tourist visa-on-arrival in Benin (only narrow exceptions such as cruise passengers staying up to 72 hours). Benin is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should also note that yellow fever vaccination is required for entry to Benin.
