Argentina visas for Venezuela citizens

Visa-free entry available

Venezuela 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.

Largest immigrant community in Argentina (700k+). Full Mercosur member = simplified residency pathway. Many Venezuelans already have precaria status.
