Indian travellers can now travel to Argentina without a separate visa — here’s how

Travel to Argentina for Indian travellers is all set to become easier, as some will no longer need to apply for a separate Argentine visa to visit the country. However, there is a catch.

Argentina has eased its travel rules for Indian citizens, making visits to the South American nation easier than before. Under the new regulations, Indian travellers holding valid US tourist visas will no longer be required to apply for a separate Argentine visa.The announcement was made by Mariano Caucino, Argentina’s Ambassador to India, through a post on X (formerly Twitter). He states, “The Argentine Government has eased entry into the country for Indian citizens with US visas.

The resolution published in the Official Gazette allows Indian citizens with tourist visas to enter the United States without needing to apply for an Argentine visa.”

He further described the development as a positive step for bilateral ties and tourism, saying, “This is wonderful news for both Argentina and India. We're ready to welcome more Indian tourists into our wonderful country.”

The measure, published in Argentina’s Official Gazette, is expected to simplify travel procedures, promote tourism, and strengthen cultural and economic links between the two countries.

Indian travelers can now enjoy a visa-free entry process if they already hold a US tourist visa, saving both time and effort when planning a trip to Argentina.

Strengthening bilateral cooperation

Beyond tourism, Argentina and India have also been working closely to expand cooperation in other sectors. Earlier in July, the 2nd Joint Working Group (JWG) meeting on Agriculture between India and Argentina was held. From the Indian side, Shri Devesh Chaturvedi, Secretary, Department of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, attended virtually, while Mr.

Sergio Iraeta, Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries, represented Argentina.

The discussions highlighted the importance of strengthening collaboration in agriculture and allied sectors, as the press release from the PIB. Chaturvedi described Argentina as a key partner for India, emphasizing cooperation through knowledge sharing, technology exchange, and joint initiatives. He also highlighted opportunities in agricultural mechanisation, pest management, climate-resilient farming, and collaborative research.

A growing partnership

The easing of visa rules can be another milestone in the deepening ties between India and Argentina. It’s expected that the new travel policy will give a boost to tourism, and also strengthen bilateral relationships.For Indian travelers, the simplified visa process offers an exciting chance to experience Argentina’s diverse cultural heritage, natural wonders, and hospitality—without the additional paperwork.
