According to current immigration regulations, when a foreigner travels to the Argentine Republic for tourism and stays at the domicile of a resident in Argentina, he must draw up a letter of invitation to send to the Argentine consular authority abroad.  The invitation letter serves the sole purpose of initiating the visa application process and does not guarantee, under any circumstances, the granting of the visa abroad. 

This letter is informal and must meet the following requirements:  

  • It must be written in Spanish. 
  • It must be addressed to the consular consular authority (eg, to the Consul of the Republic in …). 
  • It must contain all personal and contact information of the inviting person resident in Argentina: name and surname, ID, address, landline or cell phone and email address. 
  • It must contain all the information of the invited foreigner: name and surname, nationality, date of birth, type and passport number, landline or cell phone number, email address and any other contact information in the place of residence.
  • The letter must explain the reason for the trip, the inviter’s link with the guest, time of stay in the Republic, place of accommodation and estimated date of arrival and departure. 
  • It must indicate that the signer is responsible for the departure of the foreigner from the country when the authorized term of residence expires. 
  • The letter must contain the following paragraph: “As an invitee of foreigners, I have read and understand the terms established in Chapter VI of Law 25,871, Articles 116, 117, 118, 119, 120 and 121”.
  • In addition, it must contain the signature of the inviter, certified by the Notary Public and the corresponding Notaries Association.

Valid proof of UK residence. This must be presented as your valid UK residency visa in your passport / in the form of a valid UK Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card. A clear colour copy is acceptable.

 This must be valid for a minimum of 6 months beyond the intended entry date.  

RED FLAGS

Since a very recent ruling from the immigration office in Argentina some Chinese nationals will no longer require tourist visas; instead, they will be required to apply for an electronic authorization for travelling to Argentina.  

This ruling affects those who hold a Chinese ordinary passport issued by the People’s Republic of China with a valid visa category B2 issued by the United States of America and/or or a valid Schengen VISA stamped in your passport. Please note that Taiwanese Nationals are not affected by these changes.

THE IGUAZÚ NATIONAL PARK

THE IGUAZÚ NATIONAL PARK

The Iguazú National Park is a national park of Argentina, located in the Iguazú Department, in the north of the province of Misiones, Argentine Mesopotamia. It has an area of 672 km².The area of the park was inhabited 10,000 years ago by the hunter-gatherers of the Eldoradense culture. They were displaced around 1,000 CE by the Guaraní, who brought new agricultural technologies, and were displaced in turn by the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadores in the 16th century, though their legacy is still alive in this area. The first European to visit the zone was Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, in 1542; Jesuit missions followed in 1609. The park was created in 1934 to protect one of the greatest natural beauties of Argentina, the Iguazu Falls, surrounded by the subtropical jungle. The Iguazú National Reserve was defined by law 18.801 of 7 October 1970 as constituting the western part of the Iguazú National Park. While the national park preserves nature with the least possible alteration, the reserve admits human activities and infrastructure. Creation of the reserve allowed construction of an international airport and alienation of land for three tourist hotels. Across the Iguazu River lies its Brazilian counterpart (Iguaçu National Park). Both sites were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, in 1984. The park would be part of the proposed Trinational Biodiversity Corridor, which aims to provide forest connections between conservation units in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina in the Upper Paraná ecoregion. The southeast of the park adjoins the 84,000 hectares (210,000 acres) Urugua-í Provincial Park, created in 1990.
