How long is an Argentinian visa valid? - Girl with Long Brown Hair Standing in Grassland

I am an Algerian citizen living in France, and I would like to visit Argentina. Flights are really expensive from Paris, but sometimes there are some real good promotions.

I thought about making my visa application with a flight booking (which will not be my real flight) and once my visa is issued, take the next flight to Argentina for a reasonable price.

My concern is that I'm afraid my visa would only be valid during the period of stay I'll mention in my application (for example from 1st to 15th of January), so I'd be obliged to travel to Argentina during the period mentioned in the filled form!

Does anybody know if Argentina issues tourist visas for 3-6 months like Schengen states do, or if it's specific for the period mentioned on the form?
