Visa Procedure
Citizens of Azerbaijan apply for a visa to the Argentine Embassy in Baku.
The visa fee is 150 USD. After the applicant submits his documents to the embassy, he is given a check for the payment of the visa fee. Basically, the applicant should make the payment of this check at the main building of the International Bank of Azerbaijan (67 Nizami St.) and present the receipt of the payment to the consulate on the same day.
7-10 days after the submission of documents, the applicant is contacted and an appointment is made for an interview at the consular department. Another 7-10 days after the interview, the documents are reviewed, and when the procedure is completed, the applicant is contacted, if the visa result is positive, a passport is required to affix the visa label. Affixing the visa sticker to the passport also takes another 2-3 working days. Therefore, the visa application should be made at least 45 days before the date of travel. If the travel date is less than 45 days away, the Argentine Embassy will not accept the documents.

Just as when applying for a visa at the embassy of any country, your chances of getting a visa in Argentina depend on the state of your profile. Your workplace and position should be normal, your monthly income should be in the standard salary range (in experience, visas have been issued to people with a monthly income of 300-500 AZN, there have been many cases), you should show enough money in your bank account to cover your entire trip, the nuances that bind you to the country (having property in your name) , the presence of your family and children) and your travel history are factors that increase your chances of getting an Argentina visa. The Argentine Embassy is not considered a high-risk embassy for persons with no prior travel history, i.e. no Schengen or other visa holders. In our experience, there were many applicants who got their first visas from this embassy. Of course, for this, all your other documents must be in order. Also, in any case, having previous visas is one of the factors that increase your chances of getting an Argentina visa.
