Argentina to Venezuela visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Venezuela. They are granted visa-free entry for up to 90 days on arrival, extendable for another 90 days, under Venezuela's bilateral/Mercosur visa-waiver arrangement. Holders of an ordinary (regular) Argentine passport may travel to Venezuela for tourism or short visits without obtaining a visa in advance. On arrival, immigration grants a visa-free stay of up to 90 days, which can generally be extended for a further 90 days at the local migration authority (SAIME). The passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry, and travelers should carry proof of onward/return travel and of sufficient funds. Important caveat: the visa-free benefit applies ONLY to ordinary passports. The visa-waiver agreement for Argentine DIPLOMATIC, OFFICIAL and SERVICE passports has been suspended, so those holders require a visa. Venezuela is not part of the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS applies to this route. Although a Venezuelan e-Visa exists and is open to nationals of all countries, ordinary Argentine tourists do not need it for short visits. Travelers should note that Venezuela carries significant safety and entry-screening risks; while no visa is legally required, conditions on the ground change frequently, and limited consular support is available given strained Argentina-Venezuela diplomatic relations. Verify with the Argentine foreign ministry and a Venezuelan consulate close to your departure date.
