Citizens of the People’s Republic of China holders of a regular Passport, either with a valid B2 Category Visa issued by the United States of America, or with a Schengen Visa issued by any European Union member country, may request an Electronic Travel Authorization (Autorización Electrónica de Viaje -AVE-) . If this AVE application is resolved favourably, then the applicant is allowed to enter Argentina in the Category “Tourist” without need of a visa.
Please bear in mind that the AVE request is carried out between the applicant and the Argentine Migration authority (Dirección Nacional de Migraciones -DNM-) directly (the General Consulate in Frankfurt has NO part in this procedure) and that this procedure is NOT automatic, since it implies:
1.- Payment of fee procesing.
2.- Complete the application by submitting the requested document in PDF-format
3.- Await the DNM’s response
For any questions regarding the AVE, please submit an e-mail to the following address: ave@migraciones.gov.ar.
