Do I need a visa for Argentina from Nigeria?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Nigerian citizens need a visa to visit Argentina. It is obtained electronically (electronic visa) before travelling.
Nigeria is not on Argentina's visa-exemption list, so Nigerian travellers must secure a tourist visa before boarding a flight to Buenos Aires. The visa is issued through Argentina's electronic system, or failing that through the competent Argentine embassy. Start the process well ahead of your departure date.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Nigerian passport holders do not enjoy visa-free entry to Argentina and must obtain a tourist visa in advance. This visa is granted electronically, which normally avoids an in-person consular visit. Always confirm your eligibility on the official source before booking.
How and where to apply
Applications are filed online through Argentina's official electronic visa portal. Open a file, complete the form and upload the requested documents. If the electronic route is not available for your profile, contact the Argentine embassy or consulate responsible for Nigeria.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months beyond your entry date, a passport photo, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and evidence of funds. The visa fee is around 150 USD, but confirm the exact amount on the official website as it can change.
Processing and tips
The processing time is not published, so submit your application several weeks before departure. Check health requirements too, in particular any yellow-fever vaccination certificate. Keep a digital copy of your approved visa to show at boarding and on arrival.
Common mistakes
Do not book non-refundable flights before your visa is approved. Avoid incomplete forms or non-compliant photos, which slow processing. Do not rely on unofficial intermediaries; verify every detail on Argentine government sources.
