Business visits to Argentina

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Seychellois passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see migraciones.gob.ar.

Common tourist traps

  1. 'Mustard scam' distraction theft

    How it works: In Buenos Aires, someone squirts a substance like mustard on you. While an accomplice pretends to help clean it off, your bags are taken. Thieves often work in teams of two or more.

    How to avoid it: Keep hold of your bags and walk away from unsolicited help.

  2. Theft at check-in and on public transport

    How it works: Thieves operate on public transport and in bus and train terminals. Some pose as hotel guests to snatch bags at check-in.

    How to avoid it: Keep bags close and don't hang them on the back of your seat.

  3. Street taxis

    How it works: Casual taxis are linked to robberies and express kidnappings.

    How to avoid it: Book taxis in advance. If you hail one on the street, only use a 'radio taxi' with a clear logo on the doors.
