Dubai Visa Requirements for Argentine Passport Holders

Argentine passports are currently listed for arrival entry in the UAE, so a short airside connection rarely causes trouble. For layovers long enough to leave the terminal, we recommend a pre-arranged transit visa. These routes are long, a late departure from Ezeiza can push your onward flight to the next day, and having approval before you fly makes Dubai immigration a formality rather than a question mark.

Often, yes. Many Argentine travellers break the long flight east with two or three nights in Dubai. The 96-hour transit visa covers that, as long as you hold a confirmed onward ticket to another country and leave within the four days. It can't be extended, so if you might stay longer, ask our team about a short-stay visa instead. We apply once you share your passport and bookings.

On separate tickets, the second airline has no duty to rebook you, so you may have to buy a new onward flight and wait in Dubai. Argentines can usually enter on arrival today, but we suggest holding a pre-approved 48-hour transit visa before departure, so a forced overnight doesn't depend on the rules on the day. Leave generous connection time and keep both booking references handy.

Three things: a clear scan of your passport photo page with at least six months of validity, a recent passport-style photo on a light background, and your confirmed onward ticket out of the UAE. Fill in our short form, upload these, and our team checks everything before filing. If anything looks unclear, we email you before submission rather than risk a rejection.
