Argentina has formally initiated the development of a Citizenship by Investment framework through measures introduced by the Ministry of Economy. As a G20 nation with a globally recognised profile and one of Latin America’s strongest passports, Argentina has become one of the most significant emerging opportunities in the investment migration sector.
As Argentina’s Citizenship by Investment program is currently in development, final requirements have not yet been formally published. However, based on the government’s stated objectives and global best practices, applicants are expected to meet a structured set of eligibility and compliance criteria.
Applicants will be required to make a qualifying contribution or investment in Argentina. While specific thresholds and eligible sectors are yet to be confirmed, the program is expected to prioritize investments that contribute to economic development and capital inflow.
All applicants will be subject to comprehensive due diligence, combining international background screening with national security checks. This is expected to align with the highest international compliance standards.
Applicants will need to demonstrate that investment funds have been obtained legally and can be clearly substantiated.
Applicants are expected to have a clean criminal record and meet the program’s standards of integrity and reputational standing.
As with most global programs, applicants may be required to demonstrate good health as part of the application process.
We commence our process with Form 1, which enables us to carry out the initial Latitude due diligence. Subsequently, following the successful screening, we will provide you with a Client Agreement (CA) to review and sign.
Next, upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer, our processing team helps you complete the forms and collate documents.
We review to ensure you comply with the program requirements and then submit the application on your behalf.
The unit in Argentina will assess your application. Once approved, you must make all necessary contributions and pay any government fees.
