How and where to apply
Contact the Argentine embassy accredited to Kenya (or the designated consulate) and book an appointment in advance. Complete the consular form and submit your documents in person where required.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid six months beyond your stay, recent photos, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and evidence of funds. The fee is around USD 150 as a guide; confirm the exact amount and required documents with the consulate.
Processing and tips
Times are not guaranteed, so lodge your file several weeks before departure. As Kenya is a yellow-fever endemic area, a vaccination certificate may be required — check this before you travel.
Common mistakes
Do not book a firm ticket before the visa is granted and do not forget the yellow-fever certificate if your itinerary demands it. A soon-to-expire passport or insufficient proof of funds often lead to refusal.
