Which country should I apply for a visa to travel to Antarctica?

No visa is required to travel to this area.

According to the provisions of the Antarctic Treaty, no country may claim sovereignty over the Antarctic territory. Therefore, Antarctica does not belong to any country, so no visa is required to board this continent. However, if you depart from a port in another country to Antarctica, you will naturally need to obtain a visa from the country where the port is located.

Antarctica is the last continent reached by humans, also known as the "Seventh Continent." It is located at the southernmost point of the earth. Almost all of the land is within the Antarctic Circle, surrounded by the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. It is the continent with the highest geographical latitude in the world. Area: The total area is about 14 million square kilometers, accounting for about 9.4% of the world's total land area.
