U.S. to help Argentina reenter visa waiver program, DHS says
- On Monday in Buenos Aires, the United States and Argentina signed a preliminary agreement to begin allowing Argentine tourists visa-free travel to the U.S.
- The agreement comes after a prolonged period of economic instability during left-wing populist leadership and follows the U.S. reinstating visa requirements in 2002, ending the visa-free travel that had been allowed in the 1990s.
- The signing coincided with a visit by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who praised Argentina’s improved border security and Milei’s alignment with U.S. policies.
- International arrivals to the U.S. rose by 8% in April to over 3 million, with Argentine visitors increasing 25% this year, contributing over $2 trillion annually and supporting 9 million jobs.
- Officials indicated that it may be a couple of years before visa-free travel is fully implemented, representing an initial move toward Argentina rejoining the U.S. Visa Waiver Program and deepening bilateral relations.
