All students will enter the country as tourists, paying a USD140 "reciprocity fee" upon arrival at the Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires. This fee must be paid prior to receiving your tourist visa, which is a stamp in your passport good for up to 90 days.

If your academic program in Argentina is less than 90 days, you are not required to obtain a student visa.

If your academic program in Argentina is more than 90 days, you are required to obtain a student visa, but will do so on site in Buenos Aires with the help of the resident staff abroad. There will be a fee of 600 argentine pesos (~USD150-160) to obtain your student visa.

NOTE: Students who are under 18 years old will not be able to obtain a student visa in Argentina and should contact the ISA office immediately!

If you fail to obtain your student visa in Argentina for your semester/year program, you will not receive a transcript from the university. The ISA Buenos Aires staff will help you through the visa process. Once enrolled in the program, ISA will provide more details regarding the visa process.
