60 days, or a year if Apple still offers regular AppleCare in their country.

In the U.S. it is 60 days. See the following from AppleCare Products - Mac - Apple

How to buy

Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Mac.
Or buy it within 60 days of your Mac purchase:

- Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
- At an Apple Store (inspection of Mac and proof of purchase are required)
- By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)
