Argentina visas for Canada citizens
Visa-free entry available
Canada 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.
Canadians get both the IEC Working Holiday program for under-30s and easy 90-day entry for older travelers. Working Holiday quota fills fast, usually by March. Apply early if eligible. For everyone else, the Digital Nomad route works well.
