Argentina Recognizes U.S. Green Cards as an Alternative to Visas for Short-Term Entry

Published: 14.01.2026

Holders of valid U.S. permanent resident cards may use their Green Cards as an alternative to a visa when entering Argentina as tourists or business visitors. A valid passport or other travel document remains mandatory.

According to the sources, Argentina now recognizes a U.S. Green Card as an alternative to a visa for tourist and business entry. This reduces the paperwork and may make trip planning easier for U.S. permanent residents, but it does not remove the requirement to carry a valid passport or other travel document. The measure primarily affects nationals of third countries who would otherwise need a visa for short-term entry and who hold permanent residence in the United States. Relocation planners should treat it as an entry facilitation measure only: it does not grant a right to live or work in Argentina.
