Consitutional approach to naturalisation / citizenship?

[Shpongle]

I am in the middle of this process now, I came on a tourist visa and overstayed. No DNI, my court case is still in progress. Seems like the kind of thing that'll take some time, it doesn't happen overnight

Hmm. Did you see any progress on this since April?

That would make life in Argentina "easier" while you fufilled the two year residency requirment (though no longer as important to have when leaving the country and returnng as it was about a month ago)-

About leaving and return... I'm not sure I follow. Was there some legislative change?

Hopefully, just having the DNI would make it possble for you to apply for citizenship without having to pay a lawyer thousands of dollars to represent you.

One way or another, thousands of dollars will be paid, either in tuition fees, or to lawyers. Free university courses apply only to existing foreign residents.

For my case the latest update was in August, another doc for renaper. But no real movement since then. I'll have my 2 years next May and then I assume things will start moving more quickly

Hi, I was wondering how your case is going and if you've since received citizenship?

It's not yet May so I don't have my 2 years yet, nothing new so far. I will certainly keep the forum updated once I have something new

Hey. Any news ? By the way how have you applied without waiting for 2 years ?

Hi Arvest, did you ever complete this process?

I am still in the process, if you go to the coffee chats on Tuesdays we can meet and discuss in more detail. Hoping to have a resolution to my case soon however

Hi all, am newbie here...

I noticed some talk on this forum of a "constitutional" approach to gaining citizenship. Apparently you have to enter and stay in Argentina for something like 2+ years and talk to your lawyer (I believe there is one lawyer in particular who specialises in this) who will then deal with the courts etc. Until then I think (?) you're stuck in a kind of legal limbo with regard to your immigration status.

Seems like a way to shortcut the usual naturalisation e.g. by marriage, by employment, investment etc. I heard it doesn't always succeed though!

Has anyone gone this route (or personally know someone who has) and if so, what were your experiences like?
Could one get a DNI during this 2 year waiting period or would one be stuck relying on foreign funds for upkeep?
Could one buy land & vehicle during this 2 year period?

This is a high profile approach. There are simpler ways to accomplish citizenship

You have us all on the edge of our seats. What would be the easy way that you'd recommend?
