Argentina offers one of the fastest paths to citizenship in the world. We guide you through permanent residency and naturalization with expert legal support.
Argentina has one of the most accessible citizenship processes for foreign nationals. After just two years of continuous legal residency, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization. Upon becoming a citizen, you receive the same rights as those born in Argentina, including passport privileges and voting rights.
An Argentine passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 170 countries, making it one of the more powerful documents in the world for international travel.
Permanent residency (Residencia Permanente) allows you to live and work in Argentina indefinitely without requiring renewals. This status is typically achieved by:
After maintaining temporary residency for the required period (typically 1-3 years depending on category), you may apply to convert to permanent status.
Spouses of Argentine citizens may apply for permanent residency immediately, without a waiting period.
Parents of children born in Argentina (who are citizens by birth) may apply for permanent residency directly.
