Decree DNU 366/2025 has come into force in Argentina, significantly tightening immigration laws. The main changes concern the length of residency and the citizenship application process. Now, obtaining citizenship requires at least two years of continuous legal residence in the country, and any travel abroad during this period will invalidate the requirement. Furthermore, citizenship applications must be submitted through the National Migration Directorate.
Key Points
1. Tighter residency requirements
Two years of continuous, legal residence in Argentina without travel (previously, there were exceptions).
2. New application authority
Citizenship applications are submitted to the National Migration Directorate.
3. Impact on citizenship acquisition
The decree significantly complicates the process of obtaining citizenship.
4. Consolidation of laws
DNU 366/2025 combines the Migration Law and the Nationality Law under the auspices of the National Migration Directorate.
