Argentina is located in the south of the American continent. The country covers an area of almost 2.8 million square kilometres and is home to almost 50 million people. Argentina is located in the south of the American continent. It borders Chile to the west, Brazil and Uruguay to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The name is derived from the Latin word Argentum, which means silver. The name is reminiscent of colonial times, when the conquistadors hoped to find precious metals here. The capital is Buenos Aires, one of the most important cultural centres in the Americas, home to a third of Argentina's population.
A brief overview of the history of Argentina
15000 years before Christ, the first people began to migrate to North America. Before the Spanish took possession of the land, non-sedentary Pampas Indians of various tribes lived there, living from hunting and fishing.
The first Spanish ships reached Argentina at the beginning of the 16th century. In 1536, Buenos Aires was founded, but initially failed due to the resistance of the indigenous people. It was not until the 17th century that the city became an important economic centre. For the first three hundred years, settlement was limited to the part north of Buenos Aires, while the southern parts were dominated by indigenous equestrian peoples.
After the May Revolution in 1810, Buenos Aires declared independence, but this initially had little effect on the other parts of the country. Only in the following years did further wars of liberation take place, until finally the country gained independence in 1816. Later, other provinces (Paraguay, Bolivia, Uruguay) seceded, leaving the parts of the country that form today's Argentina. In the beginning, dictators ruled the country and civil wars were frequent. At first, the individual provinces were largely independent, and it was not until the early 1960s that there was the first president for the whole of Argentina. In the years that followed, Argentina experienced a chequered history with sham democracies, dictatorships and border conflicts.
A significant figure in Argentine history was Juan Péron, who was elected president for the first time in 1946.
After the Second World War, many National Socialist and fascist criminals found shelter in Argentina.
After the Second World War, the economic situation changed constantly, as did the political conditions. There were always civilian governments followed by military governments. The military dictatorship became sadly famous between 1976 and 1983, during which time around 30,000 people were killed, including many students whose whereabouts are unknown.
From 1983 onwards, the political climate in Argentina changed. The country changed into a democracy, but the problems remained. Above all, economic performance declined sharply and did not improve until the turn of the millennium.
Argentina's political system
Since 1994, Argentina has been a republican, federal presidential democracy. The president is not only head of state and head of government, he can also rule by decree, which gives him great power. Elections are held every four years. The election is direct and takes place in two ballots. In the first round, the winner is the candidate who has at least 45 per cent of the votes or at least a 10 per cent lead over all other candidates (if more than 40 per cent). If this is not the case, a run-off election is held. If the president is absent or temporarily absent for any other reason, the vice-president stands in for him.
The legislature consists of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Although a deputy is elected for four years, half of the deputies are replaced every two years. The election of the deputies results from the election. Each 152000 get one deputy. Senators serve for six years, with one-third being replaced every two years.
Filling in the ETIAS correctly for entry into the Schengen area
When making travel arrangements, the first thing to do is to fill in the ETIAS form if the old one is not still valid. According to what we know so far, this can only be done online. Since not everyone has a connection and the appropriate terminal device, ETIAS can also be filled out via an acquaintance, relative, friend, travel agent or via an agency.
Filling out the form is easy. First enter your personal data. To do this, the data from the passport must be transferred exactly. A discrepancy will render ETIAS invalid and, in the worst case, result in the traveller not being able to enter their chosen country. Although another application can be made at the airport, there is no guarantee that it will be approved by the time of departure.
The traveller must indicate the first country of destination. This is mandatory for the first entry, but not later. Finally, ETIAS will also answer a series of security questions. If the answer is "yes", there will probably be a more detailed examination of the facts, and the applicant will not automatically be rejected.
A few minutes for more security
Filling out the form may be a nuisance for some travellers from Argentina, but it is nevertheless necessary. In the past, there have been repeated attacks, some of them devastating. This can only be prevented by effective entry controls. The alternative would be a visa application for every traveller. This is lengthy and expensive. ETIAS represents a middle way. Travellers do not need to visit a consulate or pay high fees. The small effort is worth it, because travellers receive a higher level of security for their stay in the Schengen area.
