Tourist visa (consular): Vietnamese citizen in United States → Argentina

Argentina's consular tourist visa for short visits — rest or recreation — applied for in person at an Argentine consular office; authorized stay up to 90 days.

When to start
Start 15–30 days before your travel date.
The DNM's official visa-regime table lists your nationality as requiring a visa for tourist entry to Argentina, so you must obtain a consular tourist visa before you travel — the authorized stay is a maximum of 90 (ninety) days.
Tourist visa applications may be submitted to any Consular Office of the Argentine Republic; it is not mandatory to apply in your country of residence. Prepare an original and a copy of each required document. Nationals on the DNM's AVE-enabled list who hold a valid US visa (categories B2/J/B1/O/P/E/H-1B) can instead apply online for the AVE electronic travel authorization rather than a consular visa — check the official DNM AVE page.
To begin the procedure, contact the relevant Argentine Consular Office to make an appointment and submit the required documents in person.
Submit your documents in person and attend the consular interview. The consular fee is 150 US dollars or euros, depending on the Consular Office where the application is filed, paid in the local currency of the Representation.
The consular authority decides on your application. Meeting all the requirements does not guarantee the granting of a visa, which remains at the exclusive option of the Argentine State.
