Argentina’s government has enacted Decree 524/2025, creating a formal pathway for foreign nationals who make “relevant” investments to obtain Argentine citizenship. The measure, published Thursday in the Official Gazette, expands President Javier Milei’s wider immigration overhaul and amends the long-standing Citizenship Law 346 to add the category of ‘citizen by investment.’ Under the new rules, applicants submit their case to the Agency of Programs for Citizenship by Investment, a body within the Ministry of Economy. The agency will determine whether the investment meets criteria the ministry has yet to specify, request security and financial background checks from multiple government entities, and issue a recommendation. The Dirección Nacional de Migraciones then has 30 business days to grant or deny citizenship based on the agency’s report. While the decree does not set a minimum investment threshold, officials said only transactions deemed economically significant will qualify. The regulation complements Decree 366/2025, issued in May, which rewrote immigration and residency requirements.
