The child is starting school
Academic year from March, enrollment from February — and vaccinations per the Argentine schedule
The Argentine school year runs from March to December, and enrollment opens in February. That means the school decision is made during the Argentine summer — when it is winter in Russia. The second stumbling block: the vaccination certificate must follow the Argentine calendar, not the Russian one, and it needs to be brought into compliance well in advance.
Who it suits. For parents of school-age children who are relocating or already here.

In May 2025, decree 366/2025 transferred citizenship cases from the courts and handed them Migraciones, and at the same time tightened the residency clock: two years of legal residence in a row. A precaria, under which a person lives while their application is being reviewed eir case — that period is not counted. The tourist 90 days are not counted either. Departures break continuity. We have tracked this counter from day one and we gather evidence in advance: rental agreement, utility bills, bank records, entry stamps o entries and exits — because the decision rests with the authorities reviewing the paperwork, not word by word. Parts of the decree are being challenged in courts, and we work in a way that your stay was provable regardless of the outcome.
School search, documentation, vaccinations, translations and convalidación, with support through to a confirmed place.
Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Migraciones and RENAPER government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: they are modest, denominated in pesos and converted at the day’s exchange rate — we list them as a total and provide receipts. SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited in the cost of support. The short initial call is free.
