Tracking legislative reforms, court rulings and firm news on Argentine immigration and naturalization law.
Executive Decree 366/2025 introduced substantial amendments to Immigration Law 25,871, affecting residency, naturalization and citizenship-by-investment processing. Several divisions of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court of Appeals have already ruled on its constitutionality, not always uniformly.
If you have a case in progress and aren't sure how this reform affects you, get in touch and we'll review it together.
The Federal Civil and Commercial Court of Appeals, Division II, resolved a landmark precedent in the "Bronstein" case for those pursuing Argentine citizenship through the judicial route based on investment. Importantly: the ruling addresses admissibility of this pathway, not a guaranteed grant of citizenship, which still depends on corporate evidence, official economic impact assessments, and the specifics of each case.
We work with realistic expectations — we'll explain exactly what this precedent guarantees, and what it doesn't.

Recent data shows a sharp increase in official notices issued to foreign nationals in irregular immigration status. Important clarification: a notice is not the same as a formal deportation order. Formal expulsion requires a reasoned decision, valid notification, and grants 15 business days to file an appeal. Article 82 of the Immigration Law automatically suspends expulsion while that appeal is pending.
If you received a notice, don't wait until the last minute — reach out.
