Argentina... $350,000 to Obtain Citizenship

The government of Argentine President Javier Milei announced that the country will grant citizenship to foreigners who invest at least $350,000 in Argentina. The “Citizenship by Investment” program, announced by the government yesterday, offers two “simple and transparent” mechanisms to obtain an Argentine passport. Investors can either make a “non-refundable direct contribution of $350,000 to the national treasury” or subscribe to government bonds worth $800,000 specifically created for this purpose. Applicants’ spouses and children can also obtain citizenship for a contribution of $100,000 to the treasury, or $25,000 for those under the age of 18. The government noted that “the resources collected will be used to continue strengthening the financial and economic standing of the Argentine Republic.” This program comes days after the Supreme Court lifted restrictions on foreigners’ purchase of rural land. According to a 2025 report prepared by the University of Buenos Aires and other researchers, approximately 5% of Argentina’s territory, roughly equivalent in area to England, is owned by foreigners.
