Decree 524/2025: Latest Progress on Argentina's Golden Visa Framework
Argentina's Ministry of the Interior has signaled that secondary regulations under Decree 524/2025 are progressing through inter-ministerial review. Industry observers expect further clarification on the two anticipated paths.
What's expected next
The anticipated structure remains a $500,000 contribution or $1,000,000 government bond, subject to final regulation. Real estate, business or startup ventures, and investment funds are not anticipated qualifying paths. Documentation standards for foreign applicants remain unpublished.
Serious investors are advised to begin organizing source-of-funds documentation and consulting with qualified counsel ahead of the application window opening.
