July 28 (UPI) -- The Trump administration finalized a plan Monday that will help Argentina reinstate visa-free travel for its citizens.
Argentina's re-entry to the Visa Waiver Program, which is expected to take up to three years before Argentine passport holders can travel without a visa to the United States, was announced Monday by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following meetings in Buenos Aires.
"Under President Javier Milei's leadership, Argentina is becoming an even stronger friend to the United States -- more committed than ever to border security for both of our nations," said Noem.
"Argentina now has the lowest visa overstay rate in all of Latin America and 25% more Argentines traveled to the United States in the first four months of this year compared to last year -- the biggest jump of any of the top international arrivals," she added. "That is why we are now taking steps to allow Argentina back into the Visa Waiver Program."
