First participation
No criminal record. Dependants need their own visa. Confirm the full document checklist before the appointment.

The 2026 date does not repeat automatically
Keep the year with each announcement. The next round is not assumed to use the same day, time or email address.

An appointment and approval are different
An invitation lets you file an application; it still needs assessment. Plan spending with that distinction in mind.

How to prepare your application
The Argentine notice separates the interest email, appointment and document assessment before authorisation. The 2026 notice does not announce a future round.
- Read the Argentine notice for the relevant cycle; do not apply using another year’s dates.
- The 2026 round required one interest email per person from the stated time; the first 200 received appointments. Confirm the next round’s procedure.
- If assigned an appointment, prepare documents and confirm charges through the official linked channel. An appointment is not an approved authorisation.
- Await the written decision and check entry and registration conditions before travelling.
A decision timeframe is unconfirmed in the programme-specific sources reviewed. Ask the authority; appointment waiting time is separate. ARIE1

No. Wait for an Argentine notice for the relevant new cycle and follow its time and instructions.

What funds must I show?
Argentine guidance specifies EUR 1,500 with a return ticket or EUR 3,000 without one. Budget separately for other travel expenses.
References: ARIE1
Can I apply from Ireland?

References: ARIE-REGISTRATION-18
