Argentina.

Temporary residence for a foreigner making a productive, commercial or service investment of interest to the country of at least ARS 1,500,000 (fixed in pesos in the 2010 decree), with proof of the lawful origin of the funds and their entry through banks authorised by the central bank, and a non-binding opinion of the industry ministry on the project. Distinct from the 2025 citizenship-by-investment route (arg-cbi). launched is the date the regulatory decree was signed (Bs. As., 3/5/2010): the decree came into force 60 days after its publication in the Boletín Oficial, and the publication date is not in the stored text. The subcategory exists in the 2004 law. No official counts found; later changes to the amount not found in this pass.

Legal basis exists but no operating programme was found. Decree of necessity and urgency 366/2025 (28 May 2025) lets foreigners who make a "relevant investment" naturalise regardless of residence and creates the Agencia de Programas de Ciudadanía por Inversión under the Ministry of Economy; Decreto 524/2025 sets the procedure; Ley 27802 (2026) settles tax residence of such citizens; the Agency got an executive director from 22 Apr 2026. The Ministry of Economy has to define what counts as a relevant investment: no such resolution was found in the Boletín Oficial up to 1 Oct 2026, so there are no published amounts. Whether Congress has reviewed or rejected the DNU was not checked.
