About ETIAS
The ETIAS visa waiver is a new pre-travel screening system that aims to improve security and combat illegal immigration and terrorism in the European Union. When it goes live in 2025, the electronic system will be in charge of validating traveler information by using various security databases. Because of this, Argentinean citizens traveling to Europe will need to apply and complete an ETIAS form before entry. Once ETIAS is fully implemented, it will be impossible to enter the Schengen area without possessing an ETIAS visa waiver. The waiver will have a validity period of three years after issuance, and Argentinean nationals in possession of one will be able to enter the Schengen area multiple times during this period. To obtain one, make sure you check the ETIAS requirements for Argentinean citizens. The online application itself won’t take longer than 10 minutes to complete, as all you need is a valid passport. Most people receive their ETIAS approval confirmation within a matter of hours, but issues might delay the authorization. Consider that you may use the ETIAS waiver only for short trips of up to 90 days that have a touristic or business purpose. ETIAS does not allow Argentinean citizens to study or work in the EU – you will need a student or work visa for that reason.

ETIAS Application Requirements
Argentineans looking to travel to the EU will need to fill out an online application and specify the country they will be traveling to first. Once entered, the ETIAS visa waiver allows them to travel within the Schengen area many times. The online application takes around 10 minutes. After filling out the form with personal information, you’ll need to answer some security questions. After that, you’ll be required to pay the ETIAS application fee (usually not applicable if the applicant is under the age of 18). The ETIAS approval will be sent to the email address provided in the application.
Remember that ETIAS approval does not mean guaranteed access to Europe. The officials at the port of entry make the final decisions, and they may ask the Argentinean applicant for proof that they do not intend to stay in Europe for more than 90 days. Therefore, make sure to collect:
- Return ticket to Argentina
- Evidence of further travel
- Proof of sufficient funds
- Appropriate health insurance
- Full Name
- Nationality
- Date / Place of Birth / Country
- Valid email
- Contact phone number
- Passport number along with the date of issue
- Drug use
- Criminal past
- Employment history
- Terrorism
- Human trafficking
- Past trips to Europe
Cancellation or Denial of ETIAS Authorization
Citizens of Argentina possessing a valid passport are unlikely to be denied an ETIAS visa waiver. However,there are a handful of reasons why an ETIAS application might get denied:
- If the Argentinean applicant fails to provide correct information to the consulate, they can be refused outright or asked to provide additional documentation;
- If the Argentinean applicant is considered a threat to Schengen countries' citizens because of health risks or illegal immigration;
- If the Argentinean applicant fails to submit all the necessary documentation;
- If the Argentinean applicant fails a criminal check and is considered a threat to EU citizens.
Moreover, officials may refuse the applicant if there is reason to believe or suspect that the travel information provided by the applicant is not credible.
