Short answerArgentine citizens need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before travelling to New Zealand. Up to 90 days per visit.

How long you can stay
Up to 90 days per visit.
What you need
  • NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) approved before travel
  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond intended departure
  • IVL (International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy) paid as part of the NZeTA request
  • Evidence of onward/return travel (may be requested by airline or border staff)
Good to know
Argentina IS on Immigration New Zealand's visa waiver list (confirmed directly on the official visa-waiver countries and territories page — this is not a case of exclusion). NZeTA required before travel (from NZD $17, per Immigration New Zealand) plus the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) of NZD $100, paid together when you request the NZeTA. NZeTA valid 2 years. Standard visa-waiver stay 'up to 3 months', capped overall at 6 months in any 12-month period.
