Nationals of Australia, Canada and USA do not require Tourism visa to enter Argentina. Nevertheless, they must pay the “Reciprocity Fee” (which IS NOT A VISA):

Decree 1584/08 established that this “Reciprocity Fee” is to be paid by citizens of Canada (travelling for tourism purposes), of Australia and of USA (travelling for business or tourism purposes), all holding regular passports.

The Argentine Government set this fee on equal amounts to the fees Argentine citizens must pay when requesting a visa to travel to those countries:

- USA: U$D 160.- (Multiple entries, 10 years)
- Canada: CAD$ 100.- (Multiples entries, 10 years or up to one month before Passport expiration’s date)
- Australia: U$D 100.- (Multiple entries, 1 year)

VERY IMPORTANT:
You must pay the “Reciprocity Fee” online BEFORE YOUR START YOUR TRIP, using a credit card.
