According to the source, an investment-based residence permit requires submitting a project to Argentina’s migration authority, proving the lawful origin of funds and their transfer through a licensed Argentine bank. The residence permit remains valid while the investment project is active, and citizenship may be requested after two years of residence.
For investors, this means that having capital alone is not enough: an investment project must be submitted and the funds must pass through a licensed Argentine bank, while the residence status is linked to the project remaining active. In the longer term, this route allows an application for citizenship after two years of residence, but the source says that the amount invested does not shorten that period. The rule primarily affects people planning to relocate through business or investment. It is worth reviewing for anyone considering this route because the banking process and the project’s continued operation are central to maintaining residence.
