Consulate General of Argentina in Lima

  • Lima
  • +51 1 955 122 081

Overview

Argentina's working counter in Peru is not where visitors expect it: while the embassy sits in San Isidro's diplomatic quarter, the Consulate General operates from the second floor of Jr. Pablo Bermúdez 143, near block 7 of Avenida Arequipa on the edge of central Lima. Its district is the entire country — every Argentine file in Peru, from Tumbes to Tacna, is decided here. The morning window from 09:00 to 13:00 carries the daily weight of one of the continent's most human bilateral relationships: Peruvians form one of Argentina's largest immigrant communities, which means a constant flow of family paperwork, document renewals and travel questions moving between the two countries — plus the Argentine expatriates, students and businesses that Peru hosts in growing numbers.

Visa Services

Visa and entry questions for Argentina are answered here, not at the embassy. Argentina's entry-document requirements are set by the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones and vary by nationality and purpose — the consulate confirms specific cases, which is the reliable route given that rules change. Written enquiries go to the consulate's email; the listed phone line takes messages only.

Consular Services

Argentine citizens across all of Peru are served here: documentation, registrations, certificates, legalisations and assistance. The public counter runs weekday mornings 09:00-13:00, and an emergency duty line — +51 924 170 215 — answers urgent cases involving Argentine nationals outside those hours.

Service Area

The consular district is the whole of Peru — this is Argentina's only consulate general in the country.

Appointment Information

Public counter Monday to Friday 09:00-13:00 at Jr. Pablo Bermúdez 143, 2nd floor (reference: Avenida Arequipa block 7). Phone +51 1 955 122 081 for messages; substantive enquiries by email. Diplomatic and bilateral matters belong to the embassy at Las Flores 326, San Isidro.

Special Notes

Note the address carefully — the consulate is NOT at the embassy: different premises, different district. Emergencies involving Argentine citizens: +51 924 170 215.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Argentine consulate at the same address as the embassy?

No — and this is the most common mistake. The Consulate General works from Jr. Pablo Bermúdez 143, 2nd floor, near Avenida Arequipa block 7, while the embassy sits at Las Flores 326 in San Isidro. All individual paperwork happens at Pablo Bermúdez.

Do Peruvians need a visa for Argentina?

Entry rules for Argentina are set by the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones and depend on nationality, document type and purpose of travel — and they change. Confirm your specific case with this consulate or through the DNM's official channels before booking; the consulate answers concrete enquiries by email.

Which parts of Peru does the Lima consulate cover?

All of them — the consular district is the entire country, as Argentina's only consulate general in Peru. Wherever you live, from Piura to Puno, your file is handled in Lima.

How do I reach the consulate urgently?

For urgent cases involving Argentine nationals outside counter hours, call the emergency duty line +51 924 170 215. Routine matters go to the morning counter (09:00-13:00 weekdays) or the consulate's email; the regular phone line takes messages only.
