Electronic Travel Authorization for Chinese tourists

The Argentine National Immigration Department implemented an Electronic Travel Authorization (in Spanish AVE) for People’s Republic of China citizens coming to Argentina for tourism reasons.

Since September, they can require a tourist visa through the Argentine National Direction Department’s web page. Chinese citizens need to be in possession of a United States B2-category valid visa or a Schengen one issued by one of the European Union Member States.  The online system requires a valid passport. The validity of those visas must include the term of the AVE resolution and a three-month subsequent period.
