What the Argentina visa rules mean for Mauritania travellers

Mauritania citizens need a visa issued in advance by an embassy or consulate of Argentina. Start the application several weeks before departure: you will typically need a passport valid for six months with blank pages, a completed application form, passport photos, a travel itinerary, proof of accommodation and of sufficient funds, and sometimes an invitation letter or bank statements.

The main option is the Tourist visa, which costs 150 USD.

Travel insurance

Decree 366/2025 (29 May 2025) amended the Migration Law so that foreigners seeking admission must present a sworn declaration of the purpose of their entry and that they hold health insurance for their medical needs; the law says this declaration becomes enforceable once its implementation is regulated, and no official source we could read states that it is being enforced. In emergencies, access to health care cannot be refused to any foreigner; outside those cases, health establishments run by the national state provide routine treatment only on presentation of health insurance or prior payment. No official source we could read states a minimum cover.

Overstay penalties

3 months

A tourist is allowed a stay of up to 3 months, extendable for another similar period. Foreigners who have exceeded their authorised stay must pay an exit authorisation fee (Habilitación de Salida): 20 UMSM for nationals of MERCOSUR and associated states, 40 UMSM for others. The fee can no longer be paid at border crossings; the passenger is left with a debt and the transport company is fined. If the fee is not paid before leaving, a debt is generated, and the foreigner cannot re-enter Argentina until it is paid. Under Ley 25.871, a foreigner who stays after the authorised period is staying irregularly, and the National Migration Directorate may order them to regularise within a deadline it sets, under warning of expulsion.
