About
About This Guide
An independent informational resource for U.S. citizens researching Argentine citizenship by investment.
What this website is
A specialized guide that explains Argentina's citizenship-by-investment framework from the perspective of an American: U.S. citizenship, U.S. taxes, U.S. documents, family and mobility. Content last reviewed October 2026.
Who it is for
U.S. citizens, whether living in the United States or abroad, including entrepreneurs, investors, families, retirees and professionals considering a second nationality, and the U.S. advisers (CPAs, tax attorneys, wealth managers) who support them.
Why a guide written for Americans
Most material on this subject is either written for other nationalities or written to sell. Americans face distinct questions that general guides skip:
- The United States taxes its citizens on worldwide income regardless of residence or a second passport.
- U.S. documents follow a specific route: state-level apostilles for vital records and a federal apostille for the FBI report.
- U.S. banks apply their own compliance review to large international wires.
- Keeping U.S. citizenship while acquiring another nationality is a frequent concern that deserves a sourced answer.
What it is not
- It is not an Argentine government website and has no government affiliation.
- It is not a U.S. government website.
- It is not a passport broker and does not sell citizenship.
- It does not provide legal, tax, financial or investment advice.
- It does not file applications or handle funds on anyone's behalf.
How we monitor Argentine rules
The program depends on rules that are still being completed, so monitoring is continuous:
- Boletín Oficial: the official gazette is checked for new decrees, resolutions and agency rules related to Law 346 and Decrees 366/2025 and 524/2025.
- InfoLEG: the consolidated text of each rule is cross-checked to confirm whether it has been amended or replaced.
- Official announcements: statements on Argentina.gob.ar are recorded, but labeled as announced until a published rule confirms them.
- Page update: affected pages are revised and the review date is updated.
Announced vs. final: how we label facts
| Label | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| In force | Published in the Boletín Oficial and currently applicable | Law 346; Decrees 366/2025 and 524/2025 |
| Announced | Stated officially but not yet in final operating rules | Investment amounts and application opening date |
| Pending | Not yet defined by any authority | Eligible investment instruments, holding periods, processing times |
When a pending detail is not defined, the site says so instead of estimating it.
How we research U.S. topics
Statements about U.S. nationality and taxes are general summaries of guidance from the U.S. Department of State, the IRS and FinCEN. They are never a substitute for advice from a U.S. tax professional who knows your situation.
Editorial independence
- No page is paid placement, and no government or investment vehicle sponsors the content.
- The site does not earn commissions on investments or on citizenship applications.
- The law firm mentioned on the site is a contextual recommendation, disclosed on the Legal & Editorial Information page; it does not edit or approve the guide's content.
- We do not publish testimonials, success rates or approval statistics we cannot verify.
No guarantees
Argentine citizenship by investment is a discretionary legal process subject to eligibility, government review and due diligence. We do not promise approval, timelines or investment returns.
