The government in Argentina is trying to launch a Citizenship By Investment program, here is a quick scheme of what we know:




Aspect​Details​Investment Requirement$500,000 USD in qualifying projects (sectors TBD, e.g., agribusiness, tech)Citizenship EligibilityAfter 2 years of continuous residence, per migration reformVisa-Free Travel172 destinations, including Schengen AreaSettlement Rights9 Mercosur countriesRisksPotential court challenges due to decree-based implementation


My personal take on this CBI:



While being expensive as a CBI compared to others around the world, Argentinian Citizenship offers a better passport compared to the Turkish passport or some Caribbean passports.

It is difficult to match the Malta CBI program (that is currently under attack by the EU), but it is a solid alternative of a passport to have.



What are your thoughts?



Just to be clear: it has NOT been approved yet.

Yeah, I feel like it is justified by the strenght of the passport you get.



Still better than the allegedly 5 MLN USD investment for a US Golden Visa, lol.












But you need to live there for 2 years to be eligible? So, it is more like a golden visa, actually?

Yes, most probably, they want you to establish there to spend your money there.

Why is North Mac considered irrelevant? Seems like it provides solid entrey to EU?

I think one part of the problem is that there is no real approved project. And then, the agents selling it will all try to persuade you (with valid reason) to invest into another program in other countries.



Besides that, I think if you really want North Macedonian citizenship, there are enough ways to get it with acceptable effort.
 
You can already naturalise after 2 years in Argentina? Unless, like Portugal, they count the days having the residency permit as "residence". If it included Real Estate and no residency requirements, it would become hugely popular, but with business investment at 500k in a country which will just seize the money if the left get back in? It's risky.
 
This is just a money grab. You can get this for free now, after living there for 2 years.

In the future, it will cost 500k.
 
The residency requirement is the deal killer, especially given current Argentine nationality law (though assuming that would change with this). The investment amount certainly is not, depending on the details. It’s a very good passport compared to Turkey for a small increase in investment, and Argentina is vastly more desirable as an investment location, has a much higher quality of life compared to the utter squalor of Istanbul, fewer earthquakes, you get Mercosur, the women are far more attractive, and the Argentines I’ve met are not complete assholes unlike many of the Turks. Do you trust Argentina’s government? Milei won’t be there forever. That is your next question.

And I don’t trust them not to try even sketchier things. No desire to become a resident for me, but then I’d not live in Turkey, either.

The North Macedonian citizenship “program” was started by companies which lost in the citizenship tender in Montenegro. They thought that I have a good contact within the government is enough, while it was not - only promises. There were two investment funds and the so-called agents warned applicants that they will not receive anything back, making it practically a donation based one. The “agents” (I put in brackets as there was no tender at all and no documentation of how they were chosen) filed the applications but no passports were issued at all. Complete mess and rubbish, with the ECJ ruling against Malta I do not think it will be restarted again
 
The new decree includes amendments to many regulations, it was due to be voted on last Friday. I talked to my colleague and it seems that the residency requirement will not apply, compared to the dentists solution
