About the program
The popular procedure for obtaining Argentine citizenship by the birth of a child grants automatic citizenship to any baby born on Argentine soil. The parents, in turn, can apply for permanent residency immediately and, after two years of residence, for citizenship. Argentine law does not require renouncing an existing nationality, allowing parents to keep their original passport.
Advantages of obtaining Argentine passport
Strong passport for visa-free travel
With an Argentine passport, you can cross the borders of more than 160 countries without applying for a visa, as well as enter Canada and the USA under simplified procedures.
Advantages of MERCOSUR membership*
Since Argentina is a member of the MERCOSUR free trade zone, its citizens enjoy expanded rights in a number of South American countries.
Obtaining US visas
With an Argentine passport, you can travel to the USA with a 10-year multiple-entry B1/B2 visa or business visas E1 and E2, valid from 2 to 5 years.
Legal second citizenship
To obtain an Argentine passport, you do not need to renounce your first citizenship, unless required by the legislation of your home country.
Participation in state programs
Argentine citizens are entitled to free healthcare, public education, and various types of social assistance.
Right to obtain Spanish citizenship
Argentine citizenship allows you to become a full passport holder of Spain through a simplified procedure.
*MERCOSUR is a trade and economic union of 11 South American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Guyana, and Suriname.
