2. The validated school-leaving certificate

   Since Resolution 480/2026, the validation of a foreign secondary school qualification no longer requires exams: the document, the certificate, the translation if needed and the apostille are enough. Spain has an agreement with Argentina.

3. Visa or residence permit: ask at the consulate in Cádiz

   For tourism you do not need a visa (up to 90 days, with a passport). To study there are two routes: the student visa at the consulate before you travel, or the student residence permit in Argentina. The Argentine consulate in Cádiz serves all of Andalusia: Presidente Rivadavia 3, telephone 956 22 89 22. Confirm there which one applies to you.

7. The CUIL and the pesos account

   The CUIL is the number you will be asked for almost everything: ANSES issues it free of charge, in person and without an appointment. With your passport you can open a free savings account in pesos (called a caja de ahorro there), according to the Central Bank.

8. When you come back: your degree in Spain

   Spain and Argentina have mutually recognized each other's university degrees since 2018 (BOE of January 18, 2019). For regulated professions, such as Medicine, homologation is required; for the rest, a declaration of equivalence, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
