Gaining Argentinian Citizenship Through Marriage: What You Need to Know

If you’re married to an Argentinian citizen, you may be eligible for a simplified path to citizenship. While Argentina does not automatically grant nationality through marriage, the legal process can be significantly streamlined.

Is Citizenship Automatically Granted After Marriage?

No. Being married to an Argentinian does not entitle you to automatic citizenship. However, the courts often take marriage into account when considering your application.

Requirements to Apply

• Legal marriage to an Argentinian citizen

• Proof of cohabitation or family integration

• Typically, you still need to demonstrate two years of residency, although some courts may waive this

Application Process

1. Prepare documentation (marriage certificate, proof of residency, ID documents)

2. File through the Federal Court

3. Attend an interview if required

4. Await the court’s approval of citizenship status

Why Choose Citizenship Instead of Residency?

Citizenship gives you full legal rights in Argentina — including voting, national ID, and visa-free travel throughout MERCOSUR countries.
