Argentina citizenship by investment costs and family calculator

Compare the announced contribution and bond routes, family examples and fees still to verify. The calculator is local and the figures are not all-in quotes.

Explore the amounts

Estimate your family’s funding

Compare the announced funding amounts. This is an illustrative calculation before fees, not a quote or an eligibility assessment.

Eligibility is assessed separately. Fees and final bond conditions still need confirmation.

Funding amounts are not the total cost

The programme announcement sets the funding routes. Due-diligence, government, professional and document fees are separate questions. Obtain a complete written quote and official payment instructions before comparing providers.

Compare liquidity and the eventual bond conditions

A bond commitment is not the same economic expense as a non-refundable contribution. Redemption, maturity, interest, transfer restrictions and the timing of payment must be established from final documents. Do not assume a guaranteed refund, return or resale value.

Check family eligibility separately

The announced adult-child category covers ages 18–25, unmarried and without children. Confirm the final age-assessment date and dependency/civil-status definitions. The calculator checks arithmetic, not eligibility.

Questions for a complete quote

Which amount is investment principal and which is a non-refundable payment? When does each amount leave your account?

What fees apply to each person, what happens on refusal or suspension, and which authorized entity receives payment? Treat an unresolved answer as a question to settle before paying.

Application framework

Decree 524/2025 assigns APCI the evaluation and recommendation, and DNM the final citizenship decision. Its 30-working-day DNM period begins on receipt of APCI’s report, not when an applicant starts the process.

Change note: Existing procedure checked on 3 October 2026 alongside the new pricing announcement.

Applies when: Foreigners evaluating the announced citizenship-by-investment program.

What remains uncertain: The decree is the existing framework; it does not set the newly announced prices, the total processing time or a passport-delivery timetable. The current legal footing also needs review in light of citizenship litigation.
