Risks, limitations, and uncertainty

Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.

Present
Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
Requires an actual capital contribution and an operating business, not a passive/no-presence asset; multiple entries and exits are allowed and no minimum day count to keep status was found in sources opened. Argentina's ordinary naturalization needs 2 years of continuous, uninterrupted residence (Ley 346, tightened by Decreto 366/2025 to mean no exits abroad during that window) — one of the fastest citizenship timelines researched.
