Argentina's official government portal (argentina.gob.ar) lists a 4 x 4 cm square

photograph with a white background among the required documents for tourist visa

applications - the classic Latin American square format. At 300 DPI the 4 x 4 cm

print is 472 x 472 pixels, the canvas this tool exports. The portal does not

publish a numeric head-height band, so the guide lines follow the 70-80 percent

ICAO convention used across Argentine consulates; keep the head centred with the

top of the shoulders visible. No file-size cap is published, so the preset leaves

the limit off and exports at full quality; the online application form (VAC) also

accepts a digital upload of the same photo. Shoot face-on in even daylight

against a white wall, both eyes open, neutral expression, no glasses glare, and

head coverings only for religious or medical reasons. Applications are lodged at

Argentine consulates or visa application centres, usually by appointment, and a

non-compliant photo is among the most common reasons the clerk asks you to retake

and re-queue - verifying the crop here before your appointment saves the second

round. Print this export at 300 DPI on photo paper and bring two copies where the

consulate requests them alongside the digital upload.

Frequently asked questions

What size is an Argentina visa photo?

4 x 4 cm square on white - 472 x 472 pixels at 300 DPI. Bring prints plus the digital upload for the VAC form.

Is this the same as the US 2 x 2 inch photo?

Close but not equal: 4 cm is slightly smaller than 5.1 cm. Re-crop from your original photo rather than trimming a US export.

Can I smile in the photo?

Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open - standard consular practice for Argentine visa photos.
