Im leaning more towards El Salvador next after 5 years in Costa Rica. From my home it’s only 400 miles to the ES border (as the crow fly’s). Mexico is probably my number 4 after Columbia but now Panama has hired a new boss and maybe that would be a good option. I am going to Argentina in October and I am certain I will like it but man, that’s a long way from the US and my parents are very old.
Hi! I currently have no ties with Argentina but I plan on moving there full time with my family, have a normal life there, kids at an international school there. I've listened to the full video but the title is quite worrying. I'm from Europe with european ancestries from all sides. If i do things by the book and live there fully for 2 to 3 years, do you think we can all get the passport or am i going astray?
@@dchrisper if you meet the two year residency requirement then you should be able to apply for citizenship just fine. Your family would not have to meet a residency time requirement if you had a child born there, in case you’re planning on having another. I looked into international schools in Buenos Aires and they aren’t as cheap as I would have hoped for. The Lincoln school is the most popular and sought after because it teaches to the American, IB, and Argentine standards, but costs about $52,000 USD per year per child.
@@richard1493 Thank you for your answer! About the international school, I looked into the French school and it costs about 500€/month per child (with the current exchange rate). I'm a French speaker.
Additionally, Argentina only taxes people who are physically resident within the country. Argentina does tax worldwide income, but only when the person is physically present in Argentina.
One thing to consider is that the government of Argentina isn't necessarily going to know about all of your foreign-sourced income, or the assets that you own in foreign countries.
So please i want to understand if i give birth today in Argentina yes my baby instantly gets passport so what about me ,my older children and husband when are we getting our citizenship and passports?
@@prospereveryday2255 the baby does not instantly get a passport. They have a claim to citizenship based on jus soli of their birth. It took us about two weeks to get their birth certificate and another two weeks to get the passport. The mother and father of an Argentine can apply for citizenship themselves, based on parentage, without needing to meet a residency / physical presence requirement. This was about a seven month process in August 2023, but it could be shorter or longer now and that also depends heavily on the attorney you hire. I’m not sure about siblings, but I would expect there to be a similar fast track process for them if they’re still minors. Once they’re adults, I’m not so sure it’ll be as seamless.
@@richard1493 Thanks for the reply. Is it immediately my baby get the passport i apply for me and my husband citizenship? Or is there a time frame to wait before i apply? And during application can i include my minor children?
@@prospereveryday2255 citizenship is “immediate” in that the child becomes a citizen right of jus soli - being born on Argentine soil. You still have to wait a week or two to get the birth certificate which confirms that citizenship. It took about a further two weeks to receive the passport after we applied for it - which you need the birth certificate to apply for. So if you stay on top of things and there aren’t any delays, I would say that you could get the birth certificate (citizenship) and passport, both for the child, within a month of their birth. The parents eligibility for citizenship would be based off of being a child of an Argentine, so once you have that proof (birth certificate), you can apply. It’s highly recommended you do so through an attorney. I personally don’t know about including minor children in your application, but with how generous the laws are I would not be surprised if there’s a similar fast track for children.
Your child who will be born in Argentina will automatically be Argentinian on birth certificate, national ID, and passport. I will make a detailed video about citizenship soon😄
Naturalization was about a 7 month wait time in August 2023 when I was there. There is no testing or language requirement, nor a need to prove integration.
Citizenship by birth is instant in Argentina. It took about four days to get the birth certificate with DNI number - the AR equivalent of a social security number - and maybe a week to get it in the mail after my wife and I applied for it for our son. As for the parents, technically the wait time is only as long as it takes for the attorney to get an appointment with the courts. When we had our son in Buenos Aires in 2023, the wait time was estimated at 7 months. No requirement to be in-country at any time, with the caveat that you do need to be there in-person to sign paperwork in front of your attorney and to of course be there in-person at the court to accept the grant of citizenship. As a side note, it was relatively quick for us to get his US passport as well. Three weeks total if I recall correctly.

if you get argentina residency permit or permanent residency are you automatically a tax resident of argentina?
It usually goes by physical presence test i.e. 6mo+

As an Argentinian, you need a visa to enter the States. As far as I know, Chileans are the only South Americans that can access without a visa.
