Argentina Scraps Fast-Track Citizenship for Parents of Newborns
As I warned, Argentina has officially scrapped fast-track citizenship for parents of newborns.
Decree 366/2025 has been published — here are the main changes:
New rules for parents obtaining citizenship
Parents of a newborn can no longer get fast-track Argentine citizenship. Previously, the timeline for parents was the fastest in the world: as little as six months after the child's birth.
Now it will take at least 3.5 years: first you get residency, live with it for two years, and only then apply for citizenship.
Travel restrictions
The cherry on top: two years with no right to leave Argentina.
Who still falls under the old rules
Good news: anyone who has already filed their documents in court remains under the old rules.
Which country is now the fastest for parents
According to Murblz's statistics — Brazil:
— An equally strong passport
— 1.5–2 years to citizenship for parents
— Six months to citizenship for older siblings
— Close to Argentina — expectant mothers who can't fly can get there overland.
