Fijian nationals holding an ordinary or official passport will no longer require a visa when entering Argentina following an agreement signed between the two countries today.

Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Voreqe Bainimarama, signed the 'Visa Exemption Agreement' on behalf of the Fijian Government with Argentina’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Jorge Faurie in New York today along the margins of the 72nd Session of the UN General Assembly.

Prime Minister Bainimarama commended this development in the two countries’ bilateral relations and highlighted the opportunities that a visa exemption agreement can bring.

”There are enormous opportunities that Fijians can gain from this visa agreement with Argentina including opportunities in trade between our countries and sports”, Prime Minister Bainimarama said.

This visa agreement will come into effect after thirty days from this signing.
