ArgentinaA new chapter with character.

The threshold is linked to the current minimum wage, so a fixed US-dollar figure is not advertised. Employment income alone does not qualify.

Benefits

Renewable one-year temporary residence, with a separate longer-term residence or naturalisation assessment.

Eligibility

Income from owned assets such as property, financial instruments or company interests. Payment for personal work is excluded from the Rentista category.

Requirements

Income of at least five current Argentine minimum living wages, proof of asset ownership and income, transfers through authorised financial institutions, passport, local address and required police records.

Benefits

Renewable pension-based residence with the possibility of a separate later residence or nationality application.

Eligibility

A foreign pensioner with regular, continuing pension payments sufficient under the current published financial rule.

Requirements

Pension entitlement and payment evidence, the applicable income threshold, lawful funds transfers, passport, address and relevant criminal certificates. Authenticate and translate foreign records as required.

This is investor residence, not a confirmed fixed-price citizenship package. Argentina has enacted a citizenship-by-investment framework, but this review did not establish a current official open-intake package and threshold. No unverified citizenship investment price is offered.

Benefits

Immigration residence for an approved investment case, with any later citizenship assessed separately.

Eligibility

An investor using their own lawful funds for an eligible Argentine project. The authority assesses the proposal and supporting evidence.

Requirements

Investment plan, lawful origin of capital and evidence of transfer through authorised banks or financial institutions, alongside identity, address and criminal-record documents. Obtain confirmation of the currently applicable investment criteria before committing funds.

Benefits

Temporary residence for the authorised period, which can depend on the sponsor’s status and permission.

Eligibility

Qualifying spouses, parents or children, with age and dependency limits for specified relatives of foreign residents. The relationship and sponsor’s status must be documented.

Requirements

Identity and relationship certificates, sponsor nationality or residence evidence, local address and required police records. Foreign civil documents need the applicable authentication and translation.

Benefits

Normally two-year temporary residence under the nationality-based route, subject to approval and the applicable agreement.

Eligibility

Nationals covered by the relevant MERCOSUR residence arrangement. Eligibility depends on nationality, not simply holding a residence card in another member country.

Requirements

Valid passport or accepted regional identity document, nationality evidence, criminal certificates and other personal documents required by the responsible Argentine authority.

Permanent residence is not a compulsory intermediate stage. The current ordinary naturalisation rule requires no departures during the preceding two years, so a low-stay residence plan is insufficient.

Benefits

Citizenship following approval by the National Migration Directorate, followed by the relevant identity and passport formalities.

Eligibility

Age over 18, with temporary or permanent residence and two continuous lawful years immediately before the application, without leaving Argentina during those two years.

Requirements

DNI, evidence of lawful occupation or means of support, Argentine criminal-record certificate and the qualifying residence history. Express the intention to become Argentine before the competent authority.
