Argentine nationality law

Argentine nationality law

Argentine nationality law is based on the principle of Jus soli.

=Birth in Argentina=Any person born in Argentina acquires Argentine citizenship at birth. The only exception applies to children of persons in the service of a foreign government (like foreign diplomats).

=Argentine citizenship by descent=Though based for the most part on the principle of Jus soli, Argentine law authorizes the acquisition of Argentine citizenship by descent (jus sanguinis) in two cases:
*a person born outside Argentina of an Argentine parent who is in the service of the Argentine government is considered Argentine; and
*a person born outside Argentina of an Argentine parent is considered Argentine, provided that that person either be registered with an Argentine.

=Naturalisation as an Argentine citizen=Foreigners may apply for Argentine citizenship if they meet the following criteria:
*permanent residence in Argentina
*five years continuous residence in Argentina
*ability to speak and read Spanish
