A strategic, legally grounded pathway to Argentine citizenship and passport through a relevant investment in the Argentine Republic — without the requirement of long-term prior residence.
Argentina offers a unique combination of global mobility, legal stability, and investment opportunity that positions it as a compelling choice for internationally-minded individuals.
The Argentine passport ranks #17 worldwide, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 175 countries including the United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, and China.
The program is anchored in Argentina's National Constitution (1853), Migration Law 25,871, Citizenship Law 346, and Decree 366/2025 — a robust and transparent legal framework.
Argentina allows dual citizenship. You are not required to renounce your existing nationality, making it a complementary addition to your current passport portfolio.
Argentine citizens can live, work, and establish businesses across all Mercosur member states — including Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and associated nations.
Under Citizenship Law 346, citizenship through relevant investment does not require a minimum residence period — a distinctive advantage over most global CBI programs.
Following Decree 366/2025, the process transitioned from a judicial to an administrative procedure under the National Directorate of Migration — faster, more predictable, and technically evaluated.
Argentina's 2025 regulatory reforms have transformed citizenship by investment from a judicial process into a streamlined administrative pathway. The creation of the Agency for Citizenship by Investment Programs under the Ministry of Economy signals the government's commitment to attracting international capital through a regulated, transparent framework.
For qualified investors, this represents a window of opportunity: a mature legal structure, predictable timelines, and a government-backed process — all combined with one of the most powerful passports in the Americas.
Seeking a second jurisdiction for business expansion, regional access, or diversification of their operational footprint across the Americas.
Looking to strengthen their passport portfolio, increase global mobility, and establish strategic presence in a key South American jurisdiction.
Securing long-term options for the next generation — education, mobility, and citizenship rights in a country that welcomes dual nationals.
Capitalizing on a government-backed program that converts a relevant investment into a direct, regulated route to citizenship and full political rights.

Upon completion of the legal and administrative process, your Argentine citizenship and passport are finalized, typically within an estimated 4–6 month timeframe following DNI issuance, subject to governmental processing times.

The Argentine Citizenship by Investment program is supported by the country's strongest legal instruments:
Guarantees equality before the law, fundamental rights for foreign nationals, and openness to all who wish to reside on Argentine soil.
Establishes the modern migration framework, recognizes migration as a human right, and ensures equal treatment between nationals and foreigners.
The core legal provision enabling citizenship through relevant investment, without requiring a minimum residence period. In force since 1869.
Operationalize the CBI pathway: transfer the process to the National Directorate of Migration, create the Agency for Citizenship by Investment Programs, and define technical evaluation criteria with predictable resolution timelines.
ArNations provides a complete premium experience during your citizenship process. Based in Puerto Madero, one of Buenos Aires' most modern and prestigious districts, every detail is managed to ensure comfort, efficiency, and discretion.
The estimated commercial timeline is 6 to 8 months from formal engagement to passport issuance. This includes two trips to Argentina, document processing, government administrative procedures, and final passport delivery. Actual timelines may vary based on nationality, documentation readiness, and administrative processing calendars.
Our program covers the full scope of legal counsel, administrative processing, document preparation, government filings, premium accommodation during your visits to Argentina, private transportation, translation services, and personal assistance at every stage. Everything is included — there are no hidden fees or additional charges.
Yes. Once the main applicant receives their Argentine DNI (National Identity Document), family members — including spouse and children — can apply for citizenship through the family reunification pathway. The main applicant begins the process alone; family members can only apply for their visa to enter Argentina once the main applicant has obtained their DNI. The family process is significantly faster once the main applicant holds citizenship.
No upfront payment is required to begin the process. Payments are structured around verified government milestones — you only pay when a concrete, documented result is delivered by the Argentine government. Each payment is tied to the issuance of an official document, ensuring complete transparency and alignment of interests throughout the process.
The process typically requires two main trips. The first trip (7–10 days) is for residency initiation and biometric procedures to obtain the Precaria. The second trip (approximately 30 days) is for DNI issuance, approximately 30 days after the Precaria. A short additional visit may be required for passport biometrics depending on individual circumstances.
No. There is no language examination or Spanish proficiency requirement as part of the citizenship by investment program.
