Ciudadanía por Inversión (DNU 366/2025) — collapsing in the courts. A fast track created by decree in 2025 that would let a certified "relevant investment" earn citizenship with no minimum time resided; as of mid-2026 the courts have been dismantling the decree it depends on, so treat this as effectively not usable.

Ciudadanía por Inversión (DNU 366/2025) — collapsing in the courts

Would be direct naturalisation, bypassing the ordinary 2-year residence rule — but the investment threshold was never published, and the decree creating the whole track has now been ruled null by Argentina’s top electoral court.

Who qualifies

  • Would accredit to Argentina’s immigration authority a "relevant investment" in the country, regardless of time resided — but this rests on the same DNU 366/2025 that the National Electoral Chamber (CNE) declared null on June 30, 2026, for unconstitutionally moving citizenship matters (a political-rights area reserved to Congress) into a presidential decree.
    DNU 366/2025, Art. 2
  • Would be filed with a new Agencia de Programas de Ciudadanía por Inversión under the Ministry of Economy, which was to vet the investment and clear it with security and financial-intelligence authorities before recommending it to the immigration service — this agency’s legal basis is now in doubt.

Whether you keep your U.S. citizenship depends on the option you choose later.

Not taking new families today.

Do not rely on this closed option; use AR-NATURALIZACION after 2 years of residence because the invalidated decree has no application channel.

The National Electoral Chamber nullified DNU 366/2025 on June 30, 2026, ordering citizenship cases to proceed under the pre-existing Ley 346 through federal judges instead; a federal court in Esquel separately struck down specific articles of the decree. This investment track has no live legal basis right now.

What it takes.

Time
Not usable as of September 2026: no investment threshold was ever published, and the CNE’s June 2026 ruling voids the decree’s transfer of citizenship power away from federal judges, on which this track depended.
Cost
$0: the invalidated decree option accepts no applications or investment payments.
The hard part

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

  1. 2027
    Residence begins

    No permit term of its own; the clock runs on legal residence.

Time away
Two years of continuous residence immediately before applying. File before the federal judge with jurisdiction, who assesses continuity from the complete residence and travel record.
Two passports
Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.
  • Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
  • Not usable: no investment threshold was ever published, and the electoral court annulled the decree’s transfer of citizenship to the executive on 30 June 2026.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
Would have been none, since it bypassed the residence requirement entirely — moot while the decree is void.
Tax
Citizenship alone does not trigger worldwide taxation without separate tax residency.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
