A standard application file includes an application form, photographs, proof of accommodation, proof of financial resources and insurance documents. The observed official fee is USD 150. Confirm the required documents and payment arrangements with the official portal or the relevant embassy.

Book an appointment with the relevant Argentine embassy or consulate, following the instructions published on the official portal. Submit your application with the required file and provide any additional information requested by the consular authorities.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Kenya, 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 Kenya 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 vary according to the consular post, the period and the review of the application. Apply well in advance and check current requirements through the official source. It is advisable not to buy tickets before the visa has been issued.

An incomplete application, insufficient supporting documents or failing to arrange an appointment can delay the process. Do not rely on unofficial information about documents or processing times. Check every requirement with the official portal or the relevant embassy before submitting the application.
