Argentina is widely known for the tango, elegant architecture, steak, wine, and soccer, while some of the most legendary figures of the twentieth century came from Argentina, including Eva Perón, Che Guevara, and Diego Armando Maradona.

Although tap water in Argentina's larger cities is generally considered safe to drink it has high mineral content that can cause stomach upsets so it's safer to drink bottled water.

The Consulate strongly encourages applicants to apply at least 45 days in advance of their proposed journey and to refrain from making irrevocable travel plans until the visa has been issued.
