Do I need a visa for Argentina from Cape Verde?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cape Verdean nationals need a tourist visa, obtained in advance from an Argentine consulate, to visit Argentina.
Cape Verde is not among the nationalities exempt from a visa for tourism in Argentina, so a consular short-stay visa is required. Because Argentina has no consulate in the country, the application goes through the mission accredited to Cape Verde. Plan ahead, as this may involve sending documents abroad.
Do Cape Verdean travellers need a visa?
Yes. Cape Verdean passport holders must obtain a tourist visa before entering Argentina; there is no visa on arrival. The visa has to be issued before boarding.
How and where to apply
As Argentina has no mission in Cape Verde, apply to the Argentine embassy or consulate responsible for your country, which is often located in a neighbouring state or covers the wider region. Confirm with the official Argentine source which mission handles Cape Verdean files, book an appointment and allow for passport-shipping time.
Documents & fees
Gather a passport valid for at least six months, the completed form, photos, proof of funds, evidence of accommodation and a return ticket. The visa costs around USD 150; the exact fee and document list should be confirmed with the mission, as they vary.
Processing & tips
Turnaround is not guaranteed and a distant consular mission can lengthen it, especially if the passport has to travel by courier. Apply well in advance and check any health requirements, including yellow fever depending on your route.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is assuming visa-free access because Cape Verde is a small travel-friendly nation; that is not the case for Argentina. Underestimating postal times to a distant mission, or providing incomplete financial evidence, also causes refusals.
