Entry & Exit Requirements
U.S. and Canadian citizens must have a valid passport to enter Argentina and Chile. Passports must be valid for at least six months after the date of entry.
Neither country requires a visa for visits up to 90 days.
The Argentina reciprocity fee has been temporarily suspended for U.S. citizens until further notice. Canadian citizens are still responsible for paying this fee online prior to arrival. The entry fee can only be paid online, with a credit card, at one of two websites (www.migraciones.gov.ar or at www.provinciapagos.com.ar).
A tourist card is required for anyone entering Chile from the United States and is issued upon arrival. This card allows visitors to stay for up to 90 days and will allow multiple entries. Keep the tourist card with your passport; it is important not to lose it, as you must present the card to Customs when you leave the country
If you are not traveling with a U.S. passport, please check with the Argentine and Chilean embassies for the requirements based on your nationality.
