Argentina Citizenship by Investment Program Overview

Argentina citizenship by investment is a new fast-track naturalization route established under DNU 366/2025, with a preliminary announced minimum investment of USD 500,000. Eligible applicants obtain Argentine citizenship and a passport in approximately 6 to 16 months by making a relevant investment in Argentina, as defined by the Ministry of Economy and reviewed by the Agencia de Programas de Ciudadania por Inversion (APCI). The program operates alongside the historic Law 346 framework and is one of the only fast-track citizenship routes in Latin America.

Argentina anchors a fast-growing Mercosur economy with full dual citizenship, broad visa-free travel access on the Argentine passport, and a relevant investment framework rather than a one-way donation. The program operates under the Ministry of Economy and Direccion Nacional de Migraciones.
