Argentina visa requirements from Nigeria
Nigerian passport holders need a visa for Argentina, and it is a consular application requiring an interview at the Argentinian embassy in Abuja. There is no online channel to fall back on. It is one of the longer processes we handle and one of the more expensive in government fees, so it rewards being started early and assembled properly the first time.

What actually decides a Argentina application
Argentina is a low-volume route from Nigeria and that is precisely why it is worth being careful with. There is little accumulated word-of-mouth to rely on, most people applying have not done it before, and the interview in Abuja is a fixed point in the process that has to be planned around rather than fitted in.
The interview is in Abuja
If you are based elsewhere in Nigeria, the trip to Abuja is part of the cost and the calendar of this application. Factor it in at the start rather than discovering it when the appointment is offered.
Long processing, limited flexibility
The window is among the longest in our catalogue and there is no expedited channel to rescue a late start. Work backwards from your travel date generously.
Every flight connects, and often more than once
There is no direct service from Nigeria to Argentina. The itinerary will be long and the routing choices limited, so plan the travel and the visa together.
How Rayonner helps
Tourist visa requires consular interview at the Argentinian embassy in Abuja. Rayonner prepares applicants.
In practice that means we check the document set against what the mission is currently asking for, flag what is missing or inconsistent before it is submitted rather than after it is refused, and book the flights and accommodation the application needs — as reservations, so you are not buying non-refundable travel against a decision you do not yet have. We are an IATA Accredited Travel Agent, so the ticketing and the visa file are handled by the same people.
This page is first-time guidance, not a legal source. The embassy, consulate or immigration authority for your destination is the only authority on its own requirements, and they can change without notice. Fees shown are what the government charges and are estimates — they are paid by you to the mission, and Rayonner's processing fee is separate and quoted before you commit. No agency, including this one, decides or can guarantee the outcome of a visa application.

Argentina visa: common questions
Do Nigerian passport holders need a visa for Argentina?
Yes. Nigerian passport holders need a visa for Argentina, and it must be arranged before you travel rather than on arrival.
How long does a Argentina visa take to process?
20–40 business days. That is the published window rather than a promise — missions do move, and a file that comes back with a query starts the clock again. Work backwards from your travel date and leave margin.
How much does a Argentina visa cost?
The government charge is USD 200 (consular visa). You pay that to the embassy or consulate directly. Rayonner's processing fee is separate from it and is quoted to you before you commit to anything.
Is there an Argentina eVisa for Nigerian travellers?
The route in our catalogue is the consular visa, which includes an interview at the embassy in Abuja. Because this is a low-volume destination where policy changes are easy to miss, we confirm the current channel with the embassy when you start rather than assuming what applied previously still holds.
How should I plan flights for an Argentina trip?
Later than the visa, and together with it. Every itinerary connects at least once and the choices are limited, so we would normally quote the routing at the same time as starting the application, then hold or book flexibly until the visa is granted.
Flights you will need for this trip
We book the travel and the visa together, so the dates on your application and the dates on your reservation are the same dates.
