A standard application file includes an application form, photographs, proof of accommodation, proof of financial resources and insurance documentation. The relevant embassy or consulate may request additional documents depending on the application. The observed official fee is USD 150. Confirm required documents and payment arrangements with the official source.

Book an appointment with the relevant Argentine embassy or consulate before travelling. Complete the required application form and submit the file at the appointment in line with the instructions provided. For the process that applies to your case, consult the official portal or contact the relevant embassy directly.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Burkina Faso, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Burkina Faso but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times can vary depending on the embassy or consulate, the period and the review of the application. Submit a complete application while allowing for these variations and appointment availability. Do not buy tickets before the visa is granted. For information about timing or application follow-up, contact the official portal or the relevant embassy.

A common mistake is attending without an appointment or submitting an incomplete file. Check that the form, photographs, accommodation evidence, financial evidence and insurance documents meet the consular instructions. Avoid buying non-refundable tickets before the visa is issued, and rely only on the official portal or the relevant embassy.
