01 · YOUR STARTING POINT
Who should consider Argentina now
Another citizenship makes sense only if it fits your family, your capital, and your plans for South America. These three questions help you assess the announced route early.
For your capital
You need to know whether capital leaves permanently or how long it may be tied up. The terms of the proposed bond remain unpublished.
For your plans
If South America is part of your next chapter, we separate the effect of Argentine citizenship from residence and work rights in other countries.
02 · CAPITAL ROUTES
Contribution or bond: what changes?
The government has announced two routes. The contribution is nonrefundable; the bond terms remain unpublished. Compare more than the starting amount: capital commitment, family costs and unresolved rules also matter.
RouteAnnounced amountCapital effectBefore deciding
Treasury contribution
USD 350,000Nonrefundable; this amount applies to the principal applicant.
Family contributions and other fees may be additional.
Dedicated government bond
USD 800,000A public bond to be created specifically for the program.
Term, holding period, redemption and liquidity have not been published.
03 · FAMILY COST
What would it mean for your family?
The announcement includes spouses and children. Their ages and your family composition change the contribution; the complete application rules are still needed for a firm calculation.
Principal applicant
USD 350,000Announced individual contribution; a separate bond route is also proposed.
Spouse; unmarried children aged 18–25 without children of their own
USD 100,000 eachAnnounced additional Treasury contribution and evidence of the relevant category.
Children under 18
USD 25,000 eachAnnounced additional Treasury contribution and evidence of relationship.
The official example totals USD 500,000 for a principal applicant, spouse and two minor children. This is a contribution illustration, not a binding all-in price.
04 · PROCESS
What must happen before an application
No end-to-end processing time has been published. Decree 524/2025 gives the immigration authority 30 business days to decide after receiving the agency report; that does not include the earlier review.
Rules and opening
Applications are expected in Q4 2026. The exact date and complete terms have not been published.
Assessment
The responsible agency will assess the investment and seek reviews of the applicant, source of funds and security risks.
Decision
The agency recommends approval or rejection; the immigration authority makes a reasoned decision.
05 · TOTAL COST
The announced amount is not the final price
A sound decision needs a calculation for your actual applicants and chosen route. Additional government charges and execution costs can only be confirmed when the operating rules are published.
- Contribution or bond, plus contributions for included relatives
- Government fees and evidence requirements once published
- Documents, payment arrangements and separate advice or execution
