Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mauritanian nationals need a tourist visa for Argentina, which they can request online through the official channel before departure.
Mauritania does not have a visa exemption for Argentina, so prior authorisation is required. According to the available guidance, the application goes through the official electronic channel of the Argentine authorities, avoiding a trip to an embassy. The passport should be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Mauritanian travellers must obtain a tourist visa before entering Argentina. The application is made electronically through the official Argentine channel, before travel.
How and where to apply
Mauritanian applicants create a file on the official portal of Argentina's National Migration Directorate, upload their documents and pay the fee online. The authorisation received by email is shown at boarding and on arrival; with no Argentine mission in Nouakchott, this route avoids travelling abroad.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a digital photo, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and evidence of funds. The fee is around USD 150; the exact amount, accepted formats and full checklist are shown on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Processing time for the Argentine electronic visa is not guaranteed, so submit the application well before departure. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required depending on the itinerary; keep a copy with the printed authorisation.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal: intermediary sites charge unnecessary fees and expose your data. Avoid details that differ from the passport, a non-compliant photo, or a last-minute application.
