Visa Information:

Depending on the length of study in Argentina and the student’s nationality, different visa types may be required. In general, students staying in Argentina for more than 90 days must apply for a Student/Resident Visa for the duration of their study abroad.
Students should contact the nearest Argentine Consulate as soon as they receive their official acceptance from the Universidad del CEMA (UCEMA), as visa processing times may vary. Detailed and up-to-date information on visa requirements can be found on the website of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://www.cancilleria.gob.ar/en/services/visas
To complete their enrollment in UCEMA’s International Program, international students must submit proof of valid health insurance covering their entire stay in Argentina as well as a copy of their student visa or residence permit prior to arrival.
