🇦🇷 Argentina visa requirements for Vatican citizens

Entry rules for Vatican City passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Vatican City can travel to Argentina for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Argentina, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Argentina immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
