f you fall in love with Argentina (and you probably will), you’ll want to extend your stay legally.
The good news: with a student visa, it’s easy to stay long-term — and even move toward residency.

The standard student visa (Residencia Transitoria por Estudios) lasts 6 or 12 months, depending on your course duration.
At Wanderlust Spanish, all our programs are certified for one-year enrollment, so you can apply directly for the 12-month visa.

🔁 Can You Renew It?

Yes — you can renew it every year as long as you continue studying at an accredited institution like Wanderlust Spanish.
Most of our students renew annually and live in Buenos Aires for years with no issues.

🧩 Renewal Process (Step-by-Step)

1. Keep your enrollment active with Wanderlust.
2. Request a new enrollment certificate before your visa expires.
3. Book a renewal appointment at Migraciones.
4. Submit updated documents (passport, certificate, local background check).
5. Get your new visa within 2–3 weeks.

💡 Tip: You don’t need to leave Argentina to renew your visa.

✈️ Can You Apply for the Student Visa From Your Country?

YES — and this is extremely important for people planning their move in advance.

You can apply:

• At an Argentine consulate abroad
• Or directly in Argentina after arriving as a tourist

Wanderlust students often choose the second option because it is:
✔ faster
✔ easier
✔ requires fewer steps
✔ fully guided by our staff

But if someone prefers to apply before flying, we also provide:

• The enrollment certificate
• The program details
• The required documentation
• Guidance on what consulates ask for

The key point:
👉 You can start the entire process remotely, from your country, with our support.
