British nationals do not require a visa to travel to Argentina as visitors, and for business or for professional purposes. Nevertheless, on arrival all travellers must satisfy an immigration officer that they are genuinely seeking to enter the country under those categories.

The different types of visas mentioned above are the most commonly issued at this Consulate General. If the purpose of your trip does not apply to any of these visas, please contact the Consulate General.
No vaccinations are required to enter Argentina.

I got the info from here

No Problems matey.

Just remember to send us some pictures of your hairy backed cell mate when your Banged Up Abroad.

How long do you have to wait before your bike arrives for pickup at customs? I was trying to work out how I'm going to get mine from Africa to South America for a low cost, I'm also trying to find out exactly when it will arrive compared to me arriving. As I've heard that it can be expensive if the bike arrives before you do and is put into storage.

I hate making any kind of schedules as it really panics me to get to places on time.

Well... It was originally meant to arrive the day after me but now the shipping co tell me it will be there 4 days before me

They did say that it takes 3-4 days for the bike to clear customs though.
