Argentina · Ciudadania por Inversion · Citizenship by Investment
Argentina announced a citizenship-by-investment program on 2 October 2026, with applications expected to open during Q4 2026. The announced routes are a non-refundable USD 350,000 Treasury contribution or a USD 800,000 subscription to a program-specific public bond. The legal framework authorizes citizenship without a minimum residence period for a relevant investment, but operational rules and applications are not yet open.

Applications are not yet open; the government says the program is expected to receive them during Q4 2026. The 2 October 2026 announcement sets a non-refundable USD 350,000 Treasury contribution or USD 800,000 program-specific public bond. It lists additional contributions of USD 100,000 for a spouse or an unmarried child aged 18–25 without children, and USD 25,000 for a child under 18; the government gives USD 500,000 as the total for one principal applicant, spouse and two minor children. Funds must flow through the formal financial system and are subject to identity, source-of-funds, financial, jurisdictional, criminal, reputational and immigration checks. The agency recommends approval or refusal and DNM makes the final decision under Decreto 524/2025. The announcement does not establish bond term, return/yield mechanics, full procedure, fees, processing time or all eligibility requirements. AP reported a seven-year holding period, but this detail is not in the official announcement and remains unverified. The legal framework relies on DNU 366/2025; the Cámara Nacional Electoral later declared that decree null in the case before it. The effect of that ruling on this nationwide program has not been established.

marked application type unknown because intake is not yet open and changed the first announced option from an unsupported business investment to a donation (argentina.gob.ar).
