citizenship permitted
Argentina is preparing a new citizenship program, which will be the first of its kind in South America.
Building on measures introduced in 2025, the initiative aims to bring in overseas investment that supports the country’s broader economic agenda, with government review and due diligence built into the process.
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.
