和大家分享自己在哥斯大黎加辦理阿根廷簽證的經驗....


利用待在哥斯大黎加的時間，趕緊來到阿根廷使館辦理簽證，下面跟大家分享所需的證件、大致辦理的時間、大使館電話、地址、費用...等

在這裡先附上mail詢問阿根廷大使館之後，辦理旅遊簽證時所需要繳交的資料，分別有下列幾項：
(以下黑色英文字是大使館回給我的MAIL，紅色是自己實際的申請狀況)

Requirements for VISA Application

□ 1. Passport  (這次自己把護照整本都印了，然後護照要有6個月的有效期限，護照內至少要有2頁的空白頁)
□ 2. Form FSV  (先用電腦把FSV表格填好，然後印出來簽名)
□ 3. Two (2) current photos   (兩張4X4CM的白底大頭照)
□ 4. Proof of immigration status (移民證件? 這次沒準備)
□ 5. Round trip reservation (先訂可以退款的來回機票，然後印出來交過去)
□ 6. Hotel reservation or / Letter of invitation from friend or family
in Argentina  (這次自己用了BOOKING先訂了第一天的住宿提交過去)
□ 7. Letter from employer / Letter from University or / (雇用信/學校邀請函,這次沒準備)
□ 8. Fee (簽證費用250美金，交資料的時候大使館跟我說，先不用把錢給他們，等確定有發給我簽證之後再付款就好。等確定通過之後，大使館會再mail通知。收到確認核發VISA的mail之後，mail上面會有相關的銀行帳戶，接著去BCR銀行櫃台付250美金然後拿收據就可以囉！)

9.繳交三個月內的財力證明，這次自己有把明細通通印出來，明細上面有TWD的字樣，另外因為明細都是中文的，所以後來有用鉛筆把重要的關鍵字用英文寫了一遍。財力證明沒有說要多少錢才可以，所以自己就以在台灣辦理阿根廷簽證的財力要求來做準備。

(這是在台灣申請阿根廷觀光簽證的要求：→http://www.argentina.org.tw/visa1.htm

其中有提到＊申請停留天數在30天以內，可用餘額須合美金4,500元以上；超過30天每加一天，可用餘額須加美金150元。 )

require 30 -45 days. You will be advice in these cases.

All applicants should be aware that the times given are current averages
and are subject to sharp seasonal fluctuations.

Visa Collection

Passports with the stamped visa can be picked up in person.(第一次前往提交申請的時候沒有面談，也沒有收護照，交完資料後和大使館人員愉快的聊聊天，然後大使館人員就請我先回去等結果囉！整體感覺大使館的人都很nice。)
