Thailand to Argentina visa requirements

Thai ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Argentina. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days per entry, with no advance application or eVisa required. Argentina grants visa-free entry to holders of ordinary Thailand passports traveling for tourism or short visits. You can stay up to 90 days from the date of arrival, with no visa, eVisa, or travel authorization needed before departure. Argentina is in South America, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and the EU ETIAS do not apply here. At the border you must present a passport valid for at least six months with at least two blank pages, proof of onward or return travel, and you should carry evidence of sufficient funds and accommodation; travel medical insurance is recommended and may be checked. The 90-day permit can be extended once for an additional 90 days by applying in person at Argentina's immigration authority (Direccion Nacional de Migraciones, DNM) before the original permit expires, for a modest fee. Visa-free status permits tourism only and does not allow paid employment. This route was verified against the official Argentine Embassy/Consulate entry-requirements page, which confirms no visa is required for Thai passport holders.
