Argentina Golden Visa Investment Requirements

Argentina Golden Visa investment requirements are anticipated as two paths only, subject to final regulation: a non-refundable $500,000 USD contribution to the Argentine Treasury, or a $1,000,000 USD investment in a 7-year, 0% interest Argentine government bond, with principal returned at maturity. These paths have not been published in the Official Gazette (Boletín Oficial). Real estate, business or startup ventures, and investment funds are not anticipated qualifying paths.

Anticipated investment paths

Two paths are currently anticipated for the principal applicant:

• A non-refundable $500,000 USD contribution to the Argentine Treasury.
• A $1,000,000 USD investment in a 7-year, 0% interest Argentine government bond, with principal returned at maturity.

Neither path has been officially confirmed. No separate reduced amounts have been confirmed for family members.

All amounts used for either path must be funded from lawfully sourced capital originating outside Argentina. The Agency is expected to require documentation of the funds' origin, including bank statements, tax filings, and source-of-wealth declarations.

What is not anticipated

Real estate purchases, business or startup ventures, and investment-fund subscriptions are not anticipated as qualifying paths. Holding cryptocurrency or digital assets as the investment itself is also not anticipated. Gifts to private parties are not the Treasury contribution described above.

Application cap and biometrics

An initial cap near 5,000 applications is anticipated. A single biometrics visit after approval is also anticipated. Neither figure has been officially confirmed.

Maintenance

The Treasury contribution is anticipated as non-refundable. The government-bond path is anticipated as a 7-year hold at 0% interest, with principal returned at maturity. Further maintenance rules have not been published.

Verification

The Agency for Citizenship by Investment is expected to review source of funds and identity. Operational protocols have not been published. APCI is not processing applications.
