There are differences in the requirements to import vehicles to Argentina, depending on whether it is an Argentine returning to the country or a foreigner.

We tell you the main regulations of each one.

If you are an Argentinean:

• The entry of one car and one motorcycle per person of legal age, member of the family group, is allowed.
• The importation of boats, ATVs, jet skis and recreational equipment are not included in this regime.
• If the documentation is in a foreign language, it must be translated into Spanish and certified.

And if you want to bring your car tax free, remember:

• You must have lived abroad for more than 24 months and prove it through a residence certificate.
• The vehicle must have a CIF value of less than USD 15,000.
• It must be a used vehicle and be in your name for at least 3 months before the transfer.

If you are a foreigner with a temporary visa or you are coming to Argentina for tourism, in order to import your vehicle, please note that:

• You may import it under a temporary regime; you will be granted a circulation permit valid for 8 months to drive it in the Argentine territory, and you must renew it before its expiration, provided that your visa allows it.
• In the case of obtaining permanent residence, you must nationalize the vehicle and pay the import duties, if applicable.
• The vehicle must keep the foreign license plate.
