Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

Permanent residents can once again spend two years out of the country without losing their PR?
Assuming a foreigner who marries an Argentine citizen will once again be able to immediately apply for citizenship through the Federal Court without a lawyer, will they also be able to apply for "immediate" permanent residency at migraciones?

I ask this because some individuals might not want citizenship, knowing that migraciones will still be in charge of the residency process, and even if the new requirement for three years of temporary residency gets nullified because (if) it was part of the 2025 decreto, what's there to stop them from continuing to make changes like these?

Like it never existed. All legal relationships go back to June 2025, all deportation orders does not exists.
Are the denials of entry since the decreto took effect considered as deportations that no longer exist or only to individuals who were already living in Argentina and have recieved a depotation order" since 29 de mayo, 2025?

I'm asking about the Brit who was denied entry and banned from reentry for eight years. Any chance he can now "safely" return?
 
DNM already said they were going to appeal, so nobody knows.
What exactly is the DNM going to appeal...the decision of the SC that the entire decreto was nullified...or, since the SC declared unconstitutional tat migraciones could grant citizenship, just parts of it, such as the reqirement for permanent residents to set foot on Argentine soil every year or that marriage of a foreigner to an Argentine citizen only leads to temporary residency)?

Assuming that the appeal would have to be made to the SC, how long is it likely to take?

Meanwhile, will they continue to "enforce" the provisions of the decreto of 29 de mayo?

Here's what Google AI just told me

Yes. The Argentine National Electoral Chamber declared the DNU 366/2025 null, void, and unconstitutional. The court struck down the decree—which sought to strip federal judges of their authority and transfer the naturalization process to the National Directorate of Migrations—ruling that the Executive branch overstepped its powers.Here are the critical details regarding this ruling:The Court's Decision: The Chamber ruled that granting citizenship is intrinsically tied to political and electoral rights. Because Article 99 of the National Constitution prohibits the president from legislating electoral matters via emergency decrees, the regulation was ruled null of all absolute and incurable validity.The Background: Issued on May 29, 2025, the decree also tightened deportation rules, introduced new health and education requirements for foreigners, and moved the historically court-handled citizenship process to an administrative office.Current Status: The court instructed judges nationwide to ignore this decree for citizenship claims, effectively restoring the historical judicial process for applicants. However, the administration has announced it will appeal the Electoral Chamber's decision to the Supreme Court.

And were the new rules about maintaining permanent residency and permanent residency based on marriage actually included in the decreto or just something that occured at the same time and can they be changed by migraciones at any time they desire, just like the income reqirement for the visa rentista and the visa pensionada?
