On July 21, 2025, the government has announced that, effective immediately, nationals of China and the Dominican Republic who hold a valid tourist visa for entry into the United States are able to enter Argentina without needing to apply for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (AVE) or pay consular fees.
Previously, the Dominican Republic had reported, through its Embassy in Argentina, that it exempts Argentine nationals who travel for tourism purposes to that country from the consular visa requirement, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China had recently announced the entry into force of a unilateral visa exemption for Argentines, Brazilians, Chileans, Peruvians and Uruguayans, with the aim of facilitating tourism and promoting cultural and commercial exchange.
