Argentina is one of the largest and most prosperous states in South America. All issues related to the acquisition and restoration of Argentine citizenship are governed by the Argentine Republic Citizenship Law. In fact, it is not so difficult to become a full citizen of this hospitable Latin American country, if you wish.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, in order to become a citizen of the Argentine Republic, you must have lived in the country for at least two years. Accommodation is possible both in the visa regime and upon obtaining a residence visa. The main thing is to provide the commission with documentary evidence of your permanent residence in the country.
Step 2
In addition, applicants for Argentine citizenship need to have a documented stable source of income in the country. You can provide the judge with a salary certificate or a work contract. It is worth noting that only people who have reached the age of majority can apply for Argentine citizenship. Children born to Argentine citizens automatically acquire the citizenship of the country, regardless of where they were born.
Step 3
Unlike most other countries, the procedure for obtaining Argentine citizenship does not imply a test on the history of the country and its culture. The only condition is the initial knowledge of the state language of Argentina - Spanish. To test your knowledge, you will be asked to read a page of text in Spanish. It is also worth noting that citizens of countries such as Sweden, USA, Chile, Italy, Colombia, Norway, Spain, Ecuador, Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras can apply for a second citizenship in Argentina without renouncing the first.
Step 4
With a positive decision of the judge, you first receive a temporary residence permit for a year, then this residence permit is extended for one more year, and then you become a full citizen of the country. Argentine citizens are entitled to visa-free travel to most European countries with the right to work. If we talk about the timing of obtaining citizenship, then the consideration of an application usually takes from a year to 14 months. Citizenship in a short time (up to 6 months) can only be obtained by persons who are descendants of Argentine citizens, but who have citizenship (nationality) of another country.
