The National Directorate of Migration, an agency under the Ministry of National Security, reported that as of January 15, 2026, U.S. permanent residence cards (Green Cards) will be accepted as sufficient documentation to enter Argentina for the “Tourist” category for holders of passports from India, the Dominican Republic, and the People’s Republic of China and for the “Business Travelers” category for the People’s Republic of China.
The measure is based on confidence in strict security mechanisms, considering that holders of legally issued U.S. permanent residence cards meet sufficient conditions to enter the country without the need for additional requirements.
Through this regulatory update, the Argentine Republic recognizes U.S. permanent residence cards as alternative documentation to a visa, with the purpose of simplifying immigration procedures, facilitating the entry of travelers, and promoting commercial and tourism ties, while maintaining high security standards.
