Argentina · Citizenship by investment · 2026
A second citizenship under the Sun of May
On 2 October 2026 Argentina opened a direct path to citizenship for investors and their families: no residence requirement, dual citizenship permitted, and visa-free access to Europe. We help families prepare, apply and succeed.

The country behind the passport
A G20 federal republic of about 46 million people, stretching from subtropical forests to Patagonian glaciers. Eighth largest country on earth.
The Sun of May at the centre of the flag, symbol of the 1810 May Revolution.
White and sky blue, chosen by Manuel Belgrano in 1812.
Born on the Río de la Plata; UNESCO cultural heritage since 2009.
Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards made Argentina the world's Malbec capital.
From the Perito Moreno Glacier to Ushuaia at the end of the world.
6,961 metres, the highest summit outside Asia.
Where it fits among the alternatives
Citizenship, not residence
Greece and Portugal grant residence permits. Portugal now needs ten years of residence before naturalisation. Argentina grants a passport directly.
A G20 passport
Caribbean passports face EU suspension proceedings. Argentina's strength rests on its own diplomatic weight.
No relocation
No residence or minimum-stay requirement, and no Argentine tax residence from citizenship alone.
Family over generations
Children up to 25 can be included, and future children can claim citizenship by descent.
File quality decides outcomes
Argentina will vet every applicant with its intelligence services, Financial Information Unit and security ministries. Our work is built around that reality.
One accountable team
The same team handles your family's file from first call to passport.
Source-of-funds dossier
We document how your wealth was built to the standard multi-agency review expects.
Coordination
We work directly with your private banker, accountant and family office.
Discretion
Information is shared only to the extent your application requires.
