Argentina visas for Australia citizens
Visa-free entry available
Australia citizens can enter Argentina without a visa for up to 90 days. You can extend for another 90 days, or apply for a longer-term visa while in the country.
Australians have a working holiday agreement but the quota is small. Only a few hundred spots annually. Most Australians use Digital Nomad visas. Remote work for Australian companies is common. Time zone difference makes staying connected with home difficult.
