Passages
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.
New rule: All vessels intending to sail to or from Malvinas must complete a special form ten days before start the trip, see the paper part in english and part in spanish : * Rule Nº 256/2010
Argentina is an IALA B country (red right returning).
Communication
Add here VHF channel for coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Entrance
One hours notice to the Prefectura on VHF appears to be acceptable.
Customs and Immigration
Immigration
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.
Foreigners to leave the country temporarily, and leave his boat must notify the custom previously, and complete one special form.
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.
