Overview

  • Indian ordinary passport holders with a current US tourist visa no longer need an Argentine visa or Electronic Travel Authorization to enter.
  • Authorities will verify eligibility individually at ports of entry, with entry decisions made by the National Immigration Directorate.
  • Officials present the move as a targeted tourism boost under Argentina’s deregulation agenda, citing strong Indian travel to the US as a key market signal.
  • The policy follows recent US‑visa-based waivers for travelers from China and the Dominican Republic and mirrors India’s ETA access for Argentine tourists.
  • Argentine ministers and the ambassador to India publicly promoted the change after publication, saying airlines and agencies have begun marketing trips to Argentina.
