Each stage has its own eligibility requirements.
The threshold is linked to the current minimum wage, so a fixed US-dollar figure is not advertised. Employment income alone does not qualify.

- 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.
YOUR LONG-TERM PATHWAY
Residency to citizenship
- 01
Qualifying residence
Live in Argentina using qualifying income generated by assets held abroad.
- 02
Continuous lawful residence
Establish two continuous lawful years immediately before the nationality application, with no departures from Argentina. Permanent residence is a separate option, not a compulsory intermediate stage.
- 03
Argentine citizenship application
Applicants over 18 submit DNI, lawful occupation or means, Argentine criminal-record evidence and the qualifying residence record through the current Migration Directorate naturalisation procedure.
This is a residence-based pathway. Argentina’s investment-citizenship legislation is not presented here as a verified fixed-price open-intake package.
Each stage requires its own qualifying conditions and decision. The years shown are eligibility periods, not approval times.
