What the official pages say about the Argentina Visa photo
Argentina's consular tourist visa allows a stay of at most 90 days and may be sought at any of its consulates. Cancillería calls it a personal process: you book a slot, bring the signed FSV form with proof of funds and flight and hotel bookings, and sit a consular interview. The fee is 150 US dollars or euros, but the embassy in New Delhi and the New York consulate list it as free for Indian nationals. New York quotes 10 working days, sometimes 30 to 45 days, and urges applying 45 days ahead.
Photos are recent colour prints, full face, on white, but each office picks the size and number: two at 4 × 4 cm for Cancillería's general page and New Delhi, one at 4 × 4 cm in London, one at 2 × 2 inches in New York. Morocco's embassy rules out glasses and hats, and gluing the photo to the form. Indians with a valid qualifying US visa or Green Card may enter as tourists with neither visa nor AVE. The AVE, Migraciones' authorisation for listed nationalities holding US visas, takes one colour PDF up to 8 MB of passport and visa.

Questions and answers
What size is the Argentina Visa photo?
The size differs by consulate. At the Embassy in India, it is 40 × 40 mm. The official rule: Print only; size differs by consulate (4 × 4 cm or 2 × 2 inch). This document takes printed photos, so there is no file to upload. SafeResize makes a 4 × 6 inch print sheet with several copies at exactly this size.
What is the Argentina Visa photo size in cm and inches?
The size differs by consulate. At the Embassy in India, the size is 40 × 40 mm, which is 4 × 4 cm or 1.57 × 1.57 inches, a square. Printed at 300 DPI it is 472 × 472 pixels, and at 600 DPI 945 × 945 pixels. Check the official page you apply through for its size.
What background colour does the Argentina Visa photo need?
White. Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. If your wall is not plain enough, the photo maker on this page can make the background white with an AI that runs on your device. Check the edges around your hair afterwards.
How big should my head be in the Argentina Visa photo?
From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 50% to 69% of the photo height. The official rules do not state this, so we use the range the US sets for its square 2 × 2 inch photos. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.
What size photo does the Argentina visa need?
It depends on the consulate. Cancillería's tourist visa page and the Embassy in India ask for two 4 × 4 cm colour photos, front view, on white; the Consulate General in New York asks for one 2 × 2 inch photo.
Do Indians need an Argentina visa if they have a US visa?
Not for tourism. The Embassy in India says Indians holding a valid B1/B2, B2, J, B1, O, P, E or H-1B US visa or a Green Card may stay up to 90 days without a consular visa or AVE. It dates this to 28 August 2025, while the New York consulate says Green Cards count from 15 January 2026.
Does the Argentina AVE need a photo?
The AVE log-in page tells you to have a single PDF of no more than 8 MB with your valid passport and your US visa, in clear colour images, and mentions no separate portrait. Migraciones must decide within 20 working days, and the AVE is valid for 3 months from issue.
How long does an Argentina tourist visa take in New York?
The consulate says regular processing takes 10 working days, or 30 to 45 days in some cases. An expedited 3 to 5 working day service costs USD 40 more, paid only by debit card, when available.
What else do the Argentina Visa photo rules say?
Recent colour photo, full front face, white background. Bring it printed to your consular appointment. For the AVE electronic authorization, you upload only one clear colour PDF (up to 8 MB) of your passport and US visa; no photo is needed.
Can I take this photo at home?
Yes. A photo you take yourself is fine if it follows the rules above. Download the 4 × 6 inch print sheet and print it at 100% (actual size) at a photo shop or on photo paper, then cut along the lines.
Is my photo uploaded to SafeResize?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer.
Please note: Photo size and number differ by consulate (two 4 × 4 cm photos at the Embassy in India, one 2 × 2 inch photo in New York), so check your consulate's page before you apply.
