Overview

  • Resolution 316/2025 took effect on July 22, allowing Chinese and Dominican passport holders with valid US visas to enter Argentina without an Argentine visa or electronic travel authorization.
  • Chinese visitors may stay up to 30 days for tourism or business and Dominican nationals up to 90 days, with a one-time extension available for both.
  • The waiver reciprocates China’s June exemption of visa requirements for Argentine travelers through May 2026.
  • Argentina’s Dirección Nacional de Migraciones has started deploying technical and administrative systems at all entry points to enforce the new regime.
  • The policy reinforces President Javier Milei’s deregulation agenda and aligns with ongoing US-Argentina trade negotiations and bilateral infrastructure projects.
