The 90-Day Rule: Your Starting Point
First, it's important to know that US citizens can enter Argentina as tourists for up to 90 days without a visa. If your study program at Ibero is three months or less, you can typically study under this tourist status.
However, for any study period planned to be longer than 90 days, you are required to obtain a specific student visa before you travel to Argentina. It is not possible to arrive as a tourist and simply extend your stay for study purposes beyond the initial 90 days.
The Student Visa for Stays of 3 to 6 Months
For a study period of over 90 days, you will need to apply for a temporary residence visa for study purposes at an Argentine Consulate in the United States. Ibero Spanish School is fully accredited and registered with the necessary Argentine authorities, enabling us to provide the documentation you need to support your application.
Embarking on a long-term study program in Buenos Aires is a rewarding goal. By understanding the visa requirements and planning ahead, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free start to your incredible study Spanish program with us at Ibero Spanish School. We look forward to welcoming you!
