Welcome To The Website Of The South African Embassy In Buenos Aires

 Welcome to the South African Embassy in Buenos Aires’ new website. The website has been reconfigured with an aim to enhance our interactive service to our clients, i.e. South African and Argentine citizens and other interested parties wanting to know about, or do business with, South Africa.

The website is divided into five primary areas dealing with Trade, Consular Services, Defence, Tourism and Culture. It also provides general information on South Africa and its people.

As such, we have tried to provide as much information as we thought could be helpful without making the site cumbersome to work with. If you, however, have any suggestions about changes that we could make to improve the site even further please do not hesitate to let us know. The email address that you should use to forward us the suggested improvement/s is:info.argentina@foreign.gov.za

Thank you very much for visiting our website and for your interest in South Africa.
