Passport
Canadians must present a passport to visit Argentina, which must be valid for the expected duration of their stay in that country. Upon entry into and exit from Argentina, all passengers, regardless of their citizenship, are submitted to biometrics checks, such as digital fingerprints and a digital photograph at the immigration counter. A reciprocity fee must also be paid online prior to arriving in Argentina (see below for further information).

Reciprocity fee
Canadian tourists must pay a reciprocity fee online prior to their arrival in Argentina. The fee is payable on the website of the Ministerio del Interior y Transporte and payment should be made at least one week, and no more than three months, prior to the expected arrival date. A printed receipt will have to be submitted to immigration authorities on arrival. Failure to pay this fee in advance may result in refusal of entry and a possible return to your port of origin.
There are two possible payment options:
– a single-entry fee of US$75 (which also allows exit and re-entry from bordering countries Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia at no additional charge within the three month period usually granted by Argentine Immigration);
– a multiple-entry fee of US$150 which allows unlimited re-entries from all countries (bordering and non-bordering) for five years.
Those entering Argentina on a Canadian passport with a valid visa, such as a business, student, or residency visa, do not have to pay the reciprocity fee. Dual nationals are exempt, even when entering on a Canadian passport.
