Argentina to Niger visa requirements

Yes, Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Niger. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry. Niger runs an official eVisa portal, but eligibility is nationality-restricted and Argentina is not on the published eligibility list, so the safest route is to apply for a visa in advance (eVisa if confirmed eligible, otherwise at an accredited Niger embassy/consulate). A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. A citizen of Argentina holding an ordinary passport must obtain a visa before traveling to Niger for tourism. Niger is not in the Schengen area and has no visa-waiver agreement with Argentina. Niger launched an official eVisa system (operated by the Ministry of Interior / Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, DST), but the eVisa is offered only to a defined list of nationalities (such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, China, India, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, etc.), and Argentina is not confirmed on that list. There is also no Niger diplomatic mission in Argentina, so applicants typically apply through the eVisa portal where eligible, or via the nearest accredited Niger embassy/consulate covering South America. The standard tourist visa is single entry, valid for a short stay (commonly 30 days for the eVisa, up to 90 days for an embassy-issued visa). Required documents include a passport valid at least six months, passport photos, a confirmed yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory, administered at least 10 days before arrival, original card checked at the border), proof of accommodation or an invitation letter, and a return/onward ticket. Given that the eVisa channel cannot be confirmed for Argentine nationals, travelers should plan conservatively, confirm current eligibility directly with the official portal or an accredited mission, and allow ample processing time (around 5 working days for the eVisa, up to about two weeks for embassy processing). Security conditions in Niger are volatile; travelers should also review their home foreign-ministry advisories before booking.
