Hi everyone,
I’ve been reading up on Argentine residency and citizenship procedures through marriage, but I’m finding conflicting information and hoping to clarify what’s currently true.
A friend recently told me:
“First, you need to get residency before you can qualify for citizenship, and after two years you can apply for citizenship via marriage. The most common way to get residency nowadays is through passive income or employment in Argentina.”
But based on my own research, I thought it was still possible to apply for temporary residency through family reunification with a spouse. Has this changed?
My friend claims (who is an Argentine, migration lawyer):
“That was the case previously, but now you need to qualify first via a rentista visa or another type of residency visa, not just marriage.”
Is there any official resource or government site where this change is documented? I understand things change quickly here, but I’d like something concrete to reference. My friend says:
“Unfortunately, it’s not in writing yet, but they’re saying it’s the new norm. Some migration office staff may not be familiar with the update.”
Has anyone here recently applied through marriage or family reunification? Can you share your experience or link to recent official guidelines? I appreciate any advice!
