How to Obtain Citizenship in Argentina
For most foreigners that are interested in obtaining citizenship in Argentina the first step is to actually get to Argentina. Most foreigners arrive on Argentinian soil on a temporary residence visa. With the temporary residence visa you would also have a temporary residence permit. These items are only valid for a period of one year. Before that year is up you will need to submit an application to renew the temporary residence visa and temporary residence permit for an additional year. Once renewed, the items will be valid once again for a period of one year. When that year is up you will have to repeat the same steps to renew the temporary residence visa and temporary residence permit.
At the end of the third year of the temporary residence visa you are able to renew it once again. The difference this time though is that you are able to covert your temporary residence visa to a permanent residency visa with a permanent residence permit. This of course gives you the right to live in Argentina on a permanent basis and take up employment as you see fit.
Once you have been the holder of a permanent residency visa for a period of only two years then you are eligible to apply for Argentinian citizenship. Remember that if you came to Argentina as family of a citizen of Argentina that you started out at a holder of a permanent residency visa. That means that you would only have to spend a total of two years in the country before being eligible to become a citizen of Argentina.
Once you apply for citizenship in Argentina you will have to go to a citizenship proceeding before a judge. At this proceeding you will be asked to reading a page from a newspaper or a book in Spanish to test your Spanish language proficiency. There are no exams on the history of Argentina or its laws. The judge only needs to see that you can read and speak Spanish. Providing that you have good health, no criminal record and have not tried to collect welfare payments from the state you will be granted Argentinian citizenship.
Other requirements are that you are over age 18, have a copy of your birth certificate, a copy of your passport and residence card, a certificate of domicile and proof of financial resources or of employment.
