Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country

In this episode of Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country, we explore Argentina’s newly announced citizenship-by-investment program — the first of its kind in South America. Applications are expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, giving qualified investors a new route to Argentine citizenship. We break down the two main options announced by the government: a $350,000 non-refundable contribution or the purchase of an $800,000 Argentine public bond. We also look at how spouses and children may be included through additional contributions, as well as why Argentina hopes the program will attract foreign capital and strengthen its investment climate. For people interested in second passports, global mobility, or building stronger ties to South America, Argentina’s new program could become an important option to watch. In this episode, we look at what has been announced so far, what prospective applicants should understand, and why Argentina is entering the growing global market for citizenship-by-investment programs.🔎 Podcast Episode Credit:Reuters — “Argentina announces citizenship-by-investment program” by Leila MillerMY TEAM'S BOOKS ABOUT MOVING ABROAD:Are you specifically interested in moving to Ireland?
