Legal & Editorial Information

General information only

This website provides general informational content. It is not legal advice, not U.S. tax advice, not financial advice and not investment advice.

No lawyer-client relationship

Reading this site, or contacting the firm through it, does not create a lawyer-client relationship under Argentine law (including Law 23.187, which governs the practice of law in the City of Buenos Aires) or under the rules of any U.S. state bar. A professional relationship exists only after you sign an engagement directly with a licensed lawyer. Do not send confidential documents through WhatsApp.

U.S. tax notice

Acquiring Argentine citizenship does not change your U.S. tax position. In general terms:

• U.S. citizens are taxed on worldwide income regardless of where they live or which other passports they hold.
• Foreign accounts may need to be reported on the FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) when thresholds are met.
• Foreign financial assets may need to be reported on IRS Form 8938 (FATCA) when thresholds are met.
• Giving up U.S. citizenship can trigger the expatriation tax rules of Internal Revenue Code § 877A.

Thresholds, forms and rules change. Consult a qualified U.S. tax professional before making a contribution or investment, or acquiring any foreign asset.

Argentine regulatory notice

• Granting citizenship is a discretionary decision of the Argentine State; meeting the published requirements does not create a right to approval.
• Applications are subject to due diligence, including anti-money-laundering review under Law 25.246 and the framework of the Unidad de Información Financiera (UIF).
• Investment amounts, eligible mechanisms and procedures described on this site may still be pending final regulations and are labeled accordingly.

Things change

• Argentine laws, decrees and regulations can change.
• Investment amounts and eligible mechanisms can change.
• Visa and travel rules are set by destination countries and can change.
• U.S. tax rules and thresholds can change.
• Individual circumstances may produce different outcomes.

Obtain professional advice before making significant decisions.

No guarantees

Nothing on this site promises citizenship, approval, a passport, visa-free travel, a processing time or an investment return. Argentine citizenship by investment is a legal process subject to applicable law, eligibility, government review and due diligence.
