Brief overview of the program

Argentina follows the principle of jus soli (right of the soil), under which any child born on its territory automatically acquires citizenship. Parents can obtain permanent residency immediately after the child’s birth and apply for an Argentine passport after 2 years. Subsequently, the child’s siblings, as well as grandparents, can also acquire citizenship, making this program a popular option for family immigration.
