Argentine President Javier Milei’s government has said that the country would offer citizenship to foreigners who invest at least $350,000 in the country
South America’s second-largest economy attracted the lowest level of foreign direct investment of any major Latin American economy in 2025, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The Citizenship by Investment Program announced by the government proposes two “simple and transparent mechanisms” for obtaining an Argentine passport.
Investors can either make a “direct, non-refundable contribution of $350,000 to the National Treasury” or “subscribe to an $800,000 government bond created specifically” for the purpose.
The spouses and children of applicants can also secure citizenship, in exchange for a contribution of $100,000 to the Treasury, or $25,000 if they are under 18 years of age.
“The resources obtained will be used to continue strengthening the fiscal and financial position of the Argentine Republic,” the government said.
Writing on X, the economy ministry said that the investments would be subject to a “rigorous evaluation process (…) guaranteeing the traceability of funds, the prevention of money laundering, and national security.”
The program comes days after the Supreme Court abolished limits on the purchase of rural land by foreigners.
