10. Do you arrange excursions on the weekend?
Yes!! We can arrange optional trips to many parts of Argentina – however any costs are not included in the program price. Your program does include cultural activities such as walking tours around Buenos Aires, theaters, museums, etc.
11. Will I meet anyone if I go alone?
Yes! Most of our participants travel independently and are looking to meet other people with an interest in learning a language and discovering another culture. Not only will you meet other program participants, but you will meet locals as well, at the school, in your home stay and in your travels.
12. Do I need a passport or visa or work permit?
You must have a valid passport, and in some cases you need a visa depending on your country of citizenship. The opportunities we offer are considered cultural exchange programs, therefore work permits are not required. Please note that you will not be allowed to seek paid, non-program related employment while on a visitor’s visa.
13. Is airfare included in the GIC Argentina internship program price?
Your flights to and from Argentina are not included in the program price. When you have made your flight arrangements, let us know so we may arrange your airport pickup (the airport pick-up is not included in the program price).
14. Is medical insurance included in the program price?
No, it is not included and it is REQUIRED to participate in the program. We strongly encourage students to get travel and health insurance. GIC Argentina will not be responsible for any cost incurred by the student relating to medical illness, accidents or any reason that will result in the student early return.
15. What happens if the internship is not “successful”?
One of the benefits of our program is the support and guidance we provide throughout your placement. So far, we had never had any adaptation problem with students participating in this program but, obviously, the one factor that no one can foresee is how well various individuals will get along. We will seek an alternative internship if a clash of personalities develops.
