Argentina to Senegal visa requirements

As of mid-2026, an Argentine ordinary passport holder traveling to Senegal for tourism should obtain a Senegal eVisa online before departure. Senegal rolled out a reciprocity-based electronic visa (announced 2025, phased in through 2025-2026) covering non-African nationals whose countries require visas from Senegalese citizens; Argentina requires visas from Senegalese, so Argentina falls within scope. Some sources still list Argentina as visa-free/visa-on-arrival, so verify with the official SeneVisa portal and the Senegalese consulate before booking. Senegal historically granted Argentine ordinary passport holders visa-on-arrival (and several sources still report short visa-free entry). In 2025 the Senegalese government, led by PM Ousmane Sonko, announced a mandatory electronic visa applied on a reciprocity principle: nationals of countries that require visas from Senegalese citizens must obtain an eVisa before travel, payable online. Argentina requires Senegalese nationals to hold a visa (or qualify via the AVE/US-visa scheme), so Argentina is within the reciprocity scope. The eVisa is processed fully online via the official portal (SeneVisa) before arrival, not at the airport. Given the rollout, source conflicts, and the conservative-accuracy requirement, the recommended channel is the eVisa. Practical reported figures: tourist eVisa fee roughly USD 20-50, single/multiple entry options, 30-90 day validity, stay up to about 30-90 days, processing 3-5 business days. A passport valid at least 6 months with blank pages, onward ticket and proof of accommodation are needed; yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from an endemic country. Because the system is recent and some references still cite visa-on-arrival, travelers should reconfirm with the official eVisa portal and the Senegalese embassy/consulate accredited to Argentina shortly before travel.
