Decree 681/2026, enacted on 31 July 2026, modifies Argentina's migration law by adding a ground for inadmissibility and expanding the grounds for cancelling residency. The new ground prohibits hate messages, incitement to violence based on nationality, and desecration of national symbols. However, the decree explicitly excludes ideological dissent, political, academic, and citizen criticism from its application.
This decree does not create new requirements such as a means test, health insurance, or an investment route to citizenship. It applies to both new applications and existing residencies, meaning that current residents could face cancellation based on the new criteria.
