Starting July 1, 2025, Argentina will require all foreign visitors to provide proof of valid travel health insurance for entry. President Javier Milei enacted this new policy by decree as part of his comprehensive immigration reform, according to the Argentine government. The measure is intended to ensure that foreign travelers are adequately covered in the event of illness or emergencies and do not place a burden on the Argentine healthcare system.
The new regulation applies to all non-Argentines wishing to visit the South American country. Travelers must present proof of existing and valid travel health insurance at all official entry points. The introduction of this requirement is part of a series of reforms implemented by the Milei government to modernize immigration policy and take public order and fiscal stability into account.
The mandatory insurance must cover certain minimum services. These include basic medical care, inpatient treatment in case of illness or accident, 24-hour emergency services, and assistance with medical transport or evacuation in special cases. Foreign nationals without the required insurance coverage may be turned away by immigration authorities at the border, it was clarified. This regulation is similar to provisions already in place in many other countries, particularly in Europe, for the entry of third-country nationals.
