Argentina combines a strong passport with broad international mobility and access to the wider MERCOSUR region. For internationally mobile entrepreneurs, the combination of regional mobility, a Plan B outside Europe, and the distinction between citizenship and tax residency can be particularly valuable.
Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to around 169 destinations, including the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Argentina generally taxes its tax residents on worldwide income and also imposes a wealth tax on relevant domestic and foreign assets. However, individuals who obtain Argentine citizenship through the investment route do not become Argentine tax residents solely because they acquire citizenship.
Argentine citizens benefit from preferential residence and settlement rights within the MERCOSUR region, together with easier access to employment and economic activity across participating countries.
It may be particularly relevant for anyone considering giving up citizenship of an EU country while still wanting strong access to Europe. Argentine passport holders currently enjoy visa-free access to the Schengen Area.
Argentine citizenship also provides valuable mobility rights across the MERCOSUR region, as well as current visa-free travel to Russia and China.

The legal investment-based route to Argentine citizenship is already in place. However, the final program rules, investment thresholds, and operational details have not yet been fully published.
The final minimum investment has not yet been officially established. Until binding program rules are published, the figures shown on this page remain placeholders.
The new investment route was created as a special path to citizenship for individuals who make an investment classified as relevant by Argentina's Ministry of Economy. The final operational requirements have not yet been published.
No. For individuals naturalized on the basis of a qualifying investment, the rules expressly provide that citizenship alone does not establish Argentine tax residency.
The Argentine passport offers extensive international travel access. Argentine citizens also benefit from preferential residence and settlement rights within the MERCOSUR regional integration framework.
The final rules governing the inclusion of spouses, children, or other family members have not yet been officially published.
Argentina recognizes dual citizenship in practice. How the new investment route will be handled alongside an applicant's existing citizenship should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
No binding standard processing time for the new investment program has yet been officially published.
A second citizenship can give you more options for mobility, security, and long-term independence.
