Immigration decree > Last word has not been said

In Argentina, when the President issues a Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU), it becomes effective immediately upon publication in the Official Gazette. However, its permanence depends on congressional review.

Congressional Review Process for a DNU
Submission to Congress: Within 10 business days of the DNU's publication, the Chief of Cabinet must forward it to the Permanent Bicameral Commission of Congress.
Wikipedia

Commission Review: The Bicameral Commission has 10 business days to analyze the DNU and issue a report recommending its approval or rejection.

Congressional Vote: Following the commission's report, both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate must vote on the DNU. If both chambers reject it, the DNU loses its validity.
Wikipedia

It's important to note that while these timeframes are outlined, in practice, delays can occur, and the DNU remains in effect unless explicitly rejected by both chambers.

Decree 366/2025, issued by President Javier Milei on May 14, 2025, introduces significant changes to Argentina's immigration policies. As of now, the decree is in effect but has not yet been reviewed by the Bicameral Commission or voted on by Congress. Given the political dynamics and the contentious nature of the decree, its future remains uncertain.

Thanks Nikad! With regards to obtaining citizenship (if possible), are there any downsides? I've been doing some digging and I think the "no renunciable" part is a bit intimidating!

For natural born citizens, it’s non-renouncable. For naturalized citizens it is, as long as you won’t become stateless. Citizenship being a domain of the courts (in renouncing it just as much as in getting it in the first place, at least if you’re not born here) is further making it seem as though it’s impossible - but just that you need to go through a court to get rid of it doesn’t mean it’s “impossible” or that “you gotta sue to get out of it” - it’s just the design of the system. Not more or less (im)possible than in other countries, it just goes through a different pathway. And it probably takes a lawyer, and one who understands these nuances (which, in my impression, many don’t).

In other words: it’s important to keep in mind that de facto (not always de jure, at least not constitutionally de jure) there are multiple classes of citizen in Argentina - just as in most of Latin America. This is unlike concept of citizenship that’s common nowadays in the Anglosphere and the EU (basically, unlike signatories of some conventions of.. the “Council of Europe”? I don’t quite remember.. not the EU, this is a separate organization containing also Canada and Russia and the US as an observer and a few more).
As we’re English speakers here, this is important to remember (or to understand, if you’ve not heard of this before)
