Russian Federation to Argentina visa requirements

Russian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Argentina. They receive a visa-free stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period on arrival, extendable once at Argentine immigration. Russia has a long-standing visa-waiver arrangement with Argentina (in force since 2009). Ordinary Russian passport holders may enter Argentina visa-free for tourism or business and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The 90-day stay is granted automatically at the port of entry and can be extended once (a further 90 days, paying a "prórroga de permanencia" fee) at the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones, for a maximum of 180 days. Argentina is not part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply; there is no eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival process for this nationality on short tourist visits. No advance application or government fee is required to enter. Travelers should still carry a passport valid for the duration of stay (six months' validity is widely recommended), proof of onward/return travel, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds, as these may be checked by the airline or immigration officer. This verdict is confirmed against Argentina's published visa policy and the consular list of visa-exempt nationalities.
