Can American children go to primary school in Argentina?
Hey there, I am going to be moving to Buenos Aires Argentina in the next year. I have a 7 year old child that I will be needing to put into Primary School. Are there any special requirements for this? I know that for myself, I will be going to University of Buenos Aires & can get a student visa for this. Does it work basically the same with children? How do I go about doing what needs to be done to make her eligible for school in BA? thanx!

Well as she is going with you he can have an extended tourist visa for the time you are there. There is no problem to put her in the school but since you are no telling if you are moving temporarily or permanent, neither if she can speak spanish it is difficult to tell you what is the best option. I pass for the same situation but on the other direction. My advice is to put her in a bilingual school, generally private but no too expensive ( more if you think to come back with her).

Hello, As long as you're all legally allowed to live in Buenos Aires you wont have any problems with this, you will need to apply for a visa for her and obviously if you're in the university you'll automatically be allowed a visa.

NO, foreign children must remain uneducated, they are not allowed to go to school.
