Passport: Indian Passport
Visa Type: Tourist Visa
Processing Consulate/Embassy: Consulate of Argentina, New York, USA
Visa Received: 90 Day Multiple Entry Tourist Visa
Documents submitted:
Tickets to and from Argentina (in our case, we are flying into Argentina and out of Brazil, so I included all our domestic flight booking as well).
Hotel bookings for every night spent in Argentina (I also included Brazil, for completeness, as Brazil is part of my trip).
No fee required for Indian Citizens
Filled application form
Valid passport
Notarized letter of employment (also translated into Spanish)
Bank statements for the last 6 months.
1 Photo (4cm x 4cm -- US Visa style)
Proof of Travel Insurance (Certificate stating my name and details of policy) - this wasn't asked for, but I included it anyway.
Also, I included 6 months worth of payslips and my marriage certificate - but these were not asked for
Experience:
Very smooth. I didn't need an appointment. There was literally no queue here either. Took me 1 hour to submit the application - the officer took her own sweet time to call us in and then to review our documents. The visa was processed in 7 days and it was easy enough to pick my passport up.
The staff were nice, polite and competent, but don't go in expecting a fully professional process. Need Inspiration to go? See these photos from Argentinian Patagonia...

Hello,
I just stumbled upon this post and had exactly the info I was looking for :). Thanks for posting this.
I'm applying for my Argentina Visa in NY for an upcoming trip late Dec.
Are you visiting in Dec or back from the Argentina trip? Hope it was fun, I am looking fwd to it.
Cheers!
Glad this was helpful. Please do remember that it can take a full week to get the visa (sometimes more time), so please apply with enough time to spare.
Hello,
So pleased I came across your post, we are travelling to South America in March, and was wondering if you can help me with the below question:
- Should the spanish translation of the employment letter be present on the company letter head or it can just be a translation letter and later notarized.
Thank you for the well written post :):)
Hmm - not so sure. I'd recommend you be cautious and keep it on the company letterhead. My employment letter (both English & Spanish) fit on just one sheet of US Letter size paper. Perhaps you can do something like that. If that is not an option for you, then please check with you local Argentine embassy.
Quick question: Is the Argentine 90 day tourist visa multiple entry or single entry?
I got a multiple entry 90 day visa
