Travel Permit for Minors Exiting Argentina

A travel permit is required for any person under 18 years old who intends to leave Argentina without being accompanied by both parents.

• If the minor is traveling alone or with someone other than their parents, both parents must sign the permit.
• If the minor is traveling with one parent, the other parent must sign the permit.

The permit can be signed at the Argentine Embassy in Sweden or before a local notary public.

Exceptions: Minors who are Argentine residents abroad or foreign nationals staying in Argentina for less than 90 days do not need a travel permit, provided they return directly to their country of residence.
