Key facts about this destination

Argentina has long been the top destination for birth tourism: Buenos Aires offers European-standard medicine, visa-free entry, and automatic citizenship for any child born on its soil. All of this still holds in 2026 — a child born in Argentina receives citizenship automatically, and that passport unlocks visa-free travel to roughly 170 countries.

What changed: Decree 366/2025 abolished automatic permanent residence for the parents of a newborn Argentine citizen. The path to status for parents is now standard naturalisation: 2 years of legal residence, proof of income and a clean criminal record. We are upfront about this from the very first consultation — and if your family needs fast status for everyone, we will honestly suggest comparing with Brazil or Uruguay. But if your goal is a strong passport for your child and excellent medical care at a reasonable price, Argentina remains a superb choice.

Details that need to know

Decree 366/2025

Parents no longer receive permanent residence automatically. Anyone who promises otherwise is misleading you. The parents’ track: 2 years of legal residence, proof of income, clean criminal record.

Economy

Inflation and currency swings are part of life in Argentina. We fix estimates in US dollars and help with legal payments from Russia and the CIS.

Document processing queues

Immigration procedures take time; the child’s passport comes through quickly, but the parents’ status is a marathon — one you need to be prepared for.
