For the German version, please read here >>

The final steps have been initiated for the new social security agreement between Switzerland and Argentina. Switzerland has already concluded social security agreements in South America with Chile, Uruguay and Brazil.

On 14 May 2025, the Swiss Federal Council submitted the message for the approval of the agreement on social security between Switzerland and Argentina to Parliament. Once the agreement, negotiated in 2024, has been signed, it will enter into force.

Until the agreement enters into force, from a social security perspective, it is considered that no agreement exists. This means that employees posted from Switzerland to Argentina can only continue to be covered under Swiss social security if, among other things, they have at least five previous insurance years.
