Argentina Visa & Policy Updates
Argentina has expanded Electronic Travel Authorization to include U.S. Green Card holders and reinstated judicial citizenship pathways following a court ruling against stricter naturalization requirements. However, the government recently terminated the development of a citizenship by investment program and issued DNU 681, which permits the expulsion of foreigners for hate speech. Despite media reports to the contrary, visa-free entry remains capped at 90 days for most nationalities.
