Overview
- The administration publicly unveiled the program on Friday and set two ways to qualify: a one‑time nonrefundable contribution of US$350,000 to the National Treasury or the purchase of a dedicated US$800,000 public bond, with additional fees for spouses and children.
- Family pricing is explicit: spouses and adult children aged 18–25 (single and without children) face US$100,000 each, minors US$25,000 each, and a typical family example given totaled US$500,000.
- The Agencia de Programas de Ciudadanía por Inversión, created by decree in 2025 and led by Aixa Granara since April 2026, will run intake and recommend cases to the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones, which will make final decisions.
- Applications will be screened by multiple agencies including the national intelligence service (SIDE), the financial intelligence unit (UIF), and the ministries of Security and Interior, with all funds required to travel through the formal banking system and follow AML/CFT rules aligned with OECD and FATF guidance.
- The government worked with international migration‑by‑investment advisers and expects wealthy foreign applicants, notably from the United States; the policy is presented as a tool to attract capital and deepen Argentina’s international integration while implementation details and operational controls are completed before Q4 2026.
