A temporary import permit 'Certificado de Admisión Temporal' for 8 months was granted to the yacht on arrival. However since January 2010 yachts are now only being given permits for 90 days if coming from another Mercosur country... e.g. Chile, Brazil, Uruguay. As of June, 2010 this new ruling doesn't not seem to be universally applied. A ninety day extension is said to be possible.

Overview

Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic (Spanish: República Argentina, Spanish pronunciation: [reˈpuβ̞lika aɾxenˈtina]), is a country in South America, constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city. It is the second largest country in South America by land area, and eighth in the world. Its continental area is 2,766,890 km² (1,068,302 sq mi), between the Andes mountain range in the west and the southern Atlantic Ocean in the east and south. Argentina borders Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and Chile to the west and south.

The background and history of Argentina is best observed on Wikipedia

Below you can find the charts required for safe navigation of the area and some helpful links

Special Navigation Notes

Argentina is an IALA B country (red right returning).

Local Radio Nets

Also see World Cruiser's Nets

  • The Patagonian Cruisers' Net , 8164 USB, 0900 Chilean local time, covers the entire Argentinian coast and also the Malvinas/Falklands and South Georgia.

Arrival/Departure procedures

One hours notice to the Prefectura on VHF appears to be acceptable.

Immigration & Customs

It is neccesary to clear in with Immigration, Aduana, and Prefectura within 24 hours of arrival. Take plenty of photocopies of ship's papers, passports, and last clearance. A temporary import permit 'Certificado de Admisión Temporal' for 8 months was granted to the yacht on arrival. However since January 2010 yachts are now only being given permits for 90 days if coming from another Mercosur country... e.g. Chile, Brazil, Uruguay. As of June, 2010 this new ruling doesn't not seem to be universally applied. A ninety day extension is said to be possible.

Visas

As of December 2009, citizens from the countries listed below need not apply for a Visa to enter Argentina as tourists. A tourist visa for 90 days is granted on arrival.

Andorra, Australia, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Granada, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Nicaragua, Norway, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Santa Lucia, Singapore, South Africa, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, the Vatican, Venezuela, Yugoslavia.

More info can be found on Visas - Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Comercio internacional y Culto

Note: If you want to extend your stay in Argentina (from Buenos Aires or La Plata,) then a short visit to Colonia in Uruguay is in order. This can either be done by ferry - if you simply want to renew your tourist visa - or by yacht if you wish to also renew her temporary import permit.

Health & Security

While it has not yet appeared in Buenos Aires there are official concerns regarding the risk of Dengue Fever. The mosquitos in the Delta area are of world class and appropriate precautions should be taken throughout the Rio de la Plata/ Delta area.

Ports & Popular Stops

Offshore Islands

These are still considered to be Argentinian territory. As a result you cannot 'clear out' of an Argentinian port for Stanley. Authorities in Stanley are said to be well aware of this issue and are used to yachts arriving with no Argentinian clearance. However if a skipper chooses to do this rather than leaving from either a Uruguayan port or from Puerto Williams, Chile, there is something to consider. This is the fact that the boat's 8 month - or 90 day - temporary import permit and the crew's 90 day tourist visas are still ticking away...

In early June 2010 I was advised by a Prefectura officer at San Fernando, B.A. that from this date yachts leaving northern Argentinian ports for Ushuaia or vice versa will be required to sign a form stating that they will not call at any Falkland Islands port.
