What is a Travel Permit or “Venia de Viaje” for Minors?

The travel permit (or Venia de Viaje) is an authorization for the entry or exit of Argentina of a minor, granted by those who exercise parental responsibility over said minor.

Who requires a travel permit?

• WHEN ENTERING THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC: Minors who have not reached the age of 13, regardless of their nationality and entry category, who are not traveling accompanied or are not awaited by the person or persons exercising parental responsibility or by an authorized third party.
• WHEN LEAVING THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC: Minors under 18 years of age (not emancipated), regardless of their nationality, who have domicile or legal residence in Argentina and who are not traveling accompanied by both parents or whoever exercises parental responsibility.
