You can apply for Argentine citizenship after two years of legal residence in the country. The process requires proving continuous stay, financial stability, and integration, and Argentina allows dual citizenship with visa-free travel to 170+ countries.

Residency processing may vary from three months to two years, depending on which type of residency you are applying to. Mainly, Permanent Residency is approved very fast if you have a close relative or a born child in Argentina.

Visa Considerations

Let me explain how this process works. If you need a visa to enter Argentina, a tourist visa is not an option because you cannot switch from a tourist visa to a residency category. This is the first important point.

Secondly, you must apply for the intended residency category. For example, if you want to stay as a rentista, you need to apply for a rentista visa at the consulate.

Application Process

You can submit your documents to the migration department at the head office in Buenos Aires with Power of attorney to us. (2-3 months for waiting approval). If your application is approved, you will receive a government invitation letter stating that you are eligible for the residency program. With this invitation letter, you can process your entry visa application at the consulate in your home country(3 months, 6 months, or 9 months of waiting for consul approval). After arrival in Argentina, you must have 2 years of residency (you must stay more than 6 months per year) and then 1.5 years of Argentine citizenship processing time(you must stay at least 6 months during processing time).
