🧭 Why Studying is the Smartest Way to Get Residency in Argentina
Contents
If you dream of living in Argentina legally — to study, work, or simply start a new chapter of your life — the Student Visa is the fastest and safest path to get there.
Unlike other visa types that require investment, work sponsorship or marriage, the Residency by Study option lets you live in Argentina legally, easily, and affordably, while learning Spanish at an accredited institution.
At Wanderlust Spanish, we’ve already guided more than 150 students through this process.
They now live in Buenos Aires under the Transitory Student Visa, the first legal step toward residency.
🪪 What Is Residency Through Study?
Argentina’s immigration law (Ley de Migraciones N° 25.871) allows foreign students enrolled in recognized institutions to obtain a Residencia Transitoria por Estudios — a temporary legal status that lets you live in the country while studying.
This visa:
- Is valid for up to 12 months and renewable every year.
- Allows you to live and study in Argentina legally.
- Serves as the foundation to request temporary or permanent residency later on.
That’s why many foreigners begin with a student visa and later transition to longer-term residency after a year or two of continuous stay.
🎓 How Wanderlust Spanish Helps You Get Residency Step-by-Step
Our program combines language education + immigration guidance, making the process seamless.

- We assist with all your paperwork: background checks, translations, apostilles.
- We book your appointment at Dirección Nacional de Migraciones.
- You attend the interview with our support (in English or Spanish).

- Access medical services,
