Argentina
Argentina is one of the 193 UN member states, in South America. UN Tourism counted 7.4 million international arrivals there in 2019, more visited than 72% of the 199 places with figures, so its stamp in Globestamp is printed in Foil.

The Argentina stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Argentina’s is Foil: a hot-stamped foil block in the ink’s own colour, the finish for places with 6 to 15 million visitors a year. With 7.4 million international arrivals in 2019, Argentina is more visited than 72% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Argentina
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Argentina when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
