Argentina Visa

Argentina Consulate NY website
Cost of visa for Indian citizen: None


Boston residents need to go to Argentinian consulate in NY for a tourist visa.
I took an appointment prior to visiting the consulate.
Reached Argentinian consulate at 9 am and showed the documents I was carrying ( as per what was listed on the website). I was asked to bring back 6 past financial statements and reservation confirmation for all places we were going to stay at. I was perturbed by this, and told the person at the window that I needed the visa urgently and that could not wait another day in NY. He asked me to get the documents as soon as I can and he would try to give the visa on the same day.
I quickly went to nearby FedEx to access internet. Turned out to be super expensive ( 12$ for reviewing what H had prepared and printing). I didn't know FedEx charged extra for opening a Word file!!! Have traveled a lot and its hard to accept that internet can be so expensive in a developed country ( and not easily available).
Returned back to the consulate and after reviewing the docs our passport was taken in for stamping. Unfortunately they were unable to give the passport back on the same day since the consulate officer had already left ( it was only noon when I returned). Unfortunately I did not have any other option but to leave the passport behind. I had to get a prepaid envelope from FedEx for the passport delivery. I was extremely skeptical of this, after FedEx said they had issues with the consulate during package pickup.
The consulate gave me a receipt and a number I could call to check on status of my passport. I never got through to anyone on that number however within 5 days we received our stamped passport with multiple entry Argentinian visa.
