What DNU 366/2025 changed
Signed on May 28, 2025, DNU 366/2025 amended Argentina's citizenship law so that a qualifying investment could substitute for the standard residency requirement. That amendment is what made a "no prior residency" investment path conceivable. Decree 524/2025 later built administrative machinery around that idea; it did not replace DNU 366/2025 as the source of the residency substitution.
What the federal appeals court found
On June 18, 2026, the Cámara Civil y Comercial Federal, Sala III, ruled in the Volosh case that DNU 366/2025 is unconstitutional. The court's reasoning centered on the lack of demonstrated necessity and urgency required for a decree of necessity and urgency to bypass ordinary congressional process.
What the National Electoral Chamber found
In late June 2026, in a separate case (Yang, Liping), Argentina's National Electoral Chamber ruled that DNU 366/2025 is null and void, and ordered that decision communicated to federal judges with citizenship jurisdiction. Two adverse rulings in separate forums is not a Supreme Court final word — but it is the current lower-court reality.
What remains undecided
The government has appealed to Argentina's Supreme Court. No Supreme Court ruling has been issued as of this page's last update. Until that court rules, the program's core benefit — citizenship without the standard prior-residency requirement — is in real doubt. Decree 524/2025 remaining formally in force does not restore that benefit on its own. See the program status page for the full confirmed timeline.
