Do UAE passport holders need a visa to visit AR?

UAE ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Argentina. They can enter visa-free for up to 90 days per stay. Holders of an ordinary United Arab Emirates passport are exempt from visa requirements when traveling to Argentina for tourism or short visits. The Argentine government grants UAE nationals visa-free entry for tourism purposes for a maximum of 90 days per stay. This exemption reflects the warm bilateral relationship between the two countries (the UAE lifted visa requirements for Argentine citizens in 2017). On arrival, travelers must present a passport valid for at least six months, evidence of onward or return travel, proof of sufficient funds, and details of accommodation. No advance application, eVisa, or electronic travel authorization is required for UAE ordinary passport holders as of 2026 — Argentina has been rolling out an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA/AVE) for certain nationalities, but UAE citizens remain in the standard 90-day visa-exempt category. The 90-day period can be extended once or twice through the National Migration Directorate (Dirección Nacional de Migraciones) for an additional 30 or 90 days. Argentina is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should always confirm with the carrier and the Argentine consulate before departure, as policies can change.
