The investment-naturalization provision is distinct from temporary or permanent residence. The decrees do not specify a physical-presence rule for investor applicants. This page does not state that an investor may live outside Argentina, or that no visit is required.

The decrees do not specify a biometrics rule for investor applicants. The decree text is cited on the [investment requirements](/faq/argentina-citizenship-investment-requirements) page.
