Visas
Most nationalities can enter Argentina without a visa for up to 90 days. To find out whether you need a visa to enter Argentina, see here: www.migraciones.gov.ar 

Citizens from the Mercosur need only their national ID to enter the country.
Citizens from the United States, Australia and Canada do not require a visa but need to pay a reciprocity fee (which is valid for several years) in order to enter the country. Instructions in English on how to pay the reciprocity fee online can be downloaded below. More information on  how to pay reciprocity fees can be found on this web page: virtual.provincianet.com.ar.

Embassies
It is recommended that you check visa requirements with your local Argentine Embassy or Consulate before you travel.
The Argentine customs website has a list of Argentine embassies and consulates abroad and a list of foreign embassies and consultates in Argentina (www.aduanaargentina.com).

Currency
The Argentine currency is the peso, and it has the same symbol ($) as the dollar. It is easy to exchange money in Buenos Aires, there are ‘casas de cambio’ (money exchange booths) and ATMs throughout the city, and most banks will also exchange foreign currency. These are by far the safest places to change money

Opening hours
Argentina falls in the GMT-3 time zone.

Businesses are generally open from 9am–8pm, Monday to Friday, and Saturdays from 9am-1pm, although larger shops and those on shopping avenues stay open on Saturday afternoons, often until late.

Banks are open Monday to Friday from 10am-3pm, and are closed on weekends. Cash withdrawals from ATMs can be made 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.

Meal times typically tend to be later than in North America, Europe and Asia, with breakfast from 7am-10am, lunch from 12.30pm-3pm and dinner from 8.30pm-11pm, and often later.
