On Monday (28), the Argentine government signed a document with US authorities to exempt Argentines from the tour and business visa, on the South American country’s return to a program from which it had been removed in 2002.
The measure was one of the fruits of the visit of the secretary of the US internal security department (DHS), Kristi Noem, Argentina.
Argentines will benefit from Visa Waiver Program or Visa Exemption Program (VWP), which, according to information from the US State Department, allows most citizens of participating countries to travel to the United States to tourism or business for up to 90 days without the need for a visa.
