Since 1993
Citizenship by Investment
Argentina.
South America's First.
A G20 passport with visa-free access to 160+ destinations, from a USD 350,000 contribution paid straight to the National Treasury. Applications are expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, and we are taking registrations of interest now.
A G20 Passport. Paid to the State, Not a Developer.
Created by Decree 524/2025 and announced in Paris on 2 October 2026, the programme is run by the Agency for Citizenship by Investment Programs (APCI) under the Ministry of Economy. Both routes pay the government directly — no real estate, no private fund — and the National Directorate of Migration rules on every file.
A G20 Passport
Citizenship of one of the world's twenty largest economies, with a passport ranked among the strongest in the Americas.
160+ Visa-Free Destinations
Short-stay travel across Europe's Schengen Area and most of Latin America without a visa.
MERCOSUR Residence Rights
Preferential rights to live, work, study and set up a business across much of South America.
No Prior Residence
Citizenship is granted without first living in Argentina.
Paid Directly to the State
Funds go to the National Treasury or into a government bond — no developers or private funds stand in between.
The Whole Family
A spouse, children under 18 and unmarried, childless children up to 25 apply in their own right, with no proof of dependency.
Rigorous, Independent Screening
Risk-based due diligence by independent firms, with every payment through the formal financial system.
Dual Citizenship Permitted
Argentina does not ask you to give up your current nationality.
Your Entire Journey, In One Panel
From eligibility to issuance, the Bayat Group panel keeps every document, decision and milestone in one place — guided by Pathinnova AI and reviewed by our legal team.
Two Routes. Both to the Government.
A non-refundable contribution to the National Treasury, priced by family, or a larger investment in a sovereign bond created for the programme.
Non-binding estimate
Select the clause that describes your investment. Each route carries its own base and its own conditions.
USD 350,000 for the main applicant, plus USD 100,000 for a spouse, USD 100,000 for each child aged 18 to 25 and USD 25,000 for each child under 18.
Government, due-diligence and application fees will be confirmed when the programme opens; this schedule shows the published investment amounts only. Figures are indicative, non-binding, and confirmed during due diligence.

Internal Due Diligence and Qualification Assessment
Bayat Group's compliance team runs a background screening, prepares your KYC documentation and checks your profile against the programme's requirements before anything is filed.
When can I apply?
The programme was announced on 2 October 2026 and applications are expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2026. Registering your interest now puts your file first in line when the authorities publish the procedure and fees.
How much does it cost?
A single applicant contributes USD 350,000 to the National Treasury, non-refundable. A spouse adds USD 100,000, each child aged 18 to 25 adds USD 100,000 and each child under 18 adds USD 25,000, so a family of four comes to about USD 500,000. The alternative is USD 800,000 in an Argentine government bond created for the programme. Government and application fees will be confirmed when the programme opens.
Who can be included?
The main applicant must be at least 18. A spouse, children under 18, and children aged 18 to 25 who have never married and have no children of their own (and are under 25 when the file is submitted) can apply alongside. No proof of financial dependency is asked for.
Do I have to live in Argentina?
No. The programme grants citizenship without any prior period of residence, and Argentina permits dual citizenship, so you keep your current nationality.
Who decides on my application?
The Agency for Citizenship by Investment Programs (APCI), under the Ministry of Economy, assesses each file with independent due-diligence firms, and the National Directorate of Migration approves or refuses it.
General information, not advice on your own file — programme rules change, and they rarely change the same way for two applicants.
