On 30 June 2026, Argentina’s National Electoral Chamber declared Decree 366/2025 void in the part concerning the transfer of citizenship powers. The effect on related migration provisions—including family reunification, precaria status, physical-presence requirements and absence rules—remains under review.
According to the source, the court decision affects more than the administrative allocation of citizenship powers: related provisions could be reconsidered, potentially affecting naturalisation timelines, family migration and the maintenance of status during absences. The ruling creates legal uncertainty around the rules introduced by Decree 366/2025 rather than automatically cancelling all of them. Applicants counting time toward citizenship or relying on family reunification should monitor the case before filing. For other movers, the practical takeaway is to verify the rules immediately before submitting documents.
