Questions about cost

How much does Argentine citizenship by investment cost?

The main applicant chooses between a non-refundable contribution of USD 350,000 to the National Treasury and a USD 800,000 government bond. Government fees are not published yet, so neither figure is a full total.

What does it cost to include my family?

A spouse adds USD 100,000, each child aged 18 to 25 who is single and has no children adds USD 100,000, and each child under 18 adds USD 25,000. A couple with two young children on the contribution route pays USD 500,000 in contributions.

Is there a real estate option?

No real estate route has been announced. The two routes are the Treasury contribution and the government bond.

Do I get the bond money back?

The minister described it as a zero-rate bond. A seven-year term with principal returned at maturity has been reported, but the bond’s terms have not been published.
