## Argentina Unveils Golden Passport Program
Argentina's government unveiled a citizenship-by-investment program, or 'golden passport', Friday in Paris, the latest attempt by President Javier Milei to attract foreign investment.
## US$350,000 Payment for Citizenship
The principal applicant can make a non-refundable US$350,000 payment to the national Treasury. A spouse requires an additional US$100,000 payment, while children under 18 require US$25,000 per child.
## Government Bond Alternative
Applicants can buy a government bond worth US$800,000 that will be created specifically for the citizenship programme, all funds destined to strengthen the fiscal and financial position of the Argentine Republic.
## Security and Evaluation Process
Applications will be subject to a rigorous evaluation process designed to preserve national security, the integrity of the financial system and the international prestige of Argentine citizenship.
## Political Opposition and Nationalism
The passport programme faces pushback from Milei’s political opponents amid nationalist sentiment, after a bill to ease foreign farmland purchases was gutted and billionaire Peter Thiel bought a house in Buenos Aires.
## Market Response and Competition
Argentina’s program could draw more diverse buyers than Caribbean nations, threatening their economies that rely on citizenship sales for revenue.
## Key takeaway

Argentina offers golden passports to foreigners for US$350,000 through a new citizenship-by-investment program.
