Legal Assistance for Argentine Citizenship by Investment

A citizenship-by-investment application is an Argentine legal procedure. Argentine counsel can assess eligibility, plan the investment structure, coordinate documentation and due diligence, prepare family applications, address Argentine legal issues and work alongside your advisers in the UAE and elsewhere.

1. 01

   Eligibility and risk screening

   Nationality, background and any factors that require careful analysis.

2. 02

   Source-of-wealth strategy

   Which evidence best documents how the funds were generated and transferred.

3. 03

   Document plan

   Which documents are needed, from which countries, and how to legalise and translate them.

4. 04

   Family structure

   Which family members may be included and what each needs to provide.

5. 05

   Coordination with tax advisers

   Identifying questions that require separate tax advice in Argentina, the UAE or elsewhere.

• Ask for the lawyer's registration with an Argentine bar association.
• Be cautious of anyone who guarantees approval or timelines.
• Ask for clear written scope and fees before engaging.
• Never pay the program contribution to an adviser's account.

1. 01

   Eligibility analysis

   Checks nationality, background and family composition against the current program rules.

2. 02

   Compliance file

   Organises source-of-funds and source-of-wealth evidence into a coherent narrative.

3. 03

   Representation

   Acts before the Citizenship by Investment Programs Agency and the National Migration Directorate (DNM), where the rules allow.

4. 04

   Follow-up

   Responds to requests for information and coordinates the steps toward DNI and passport.

• A special power of attorney signed before a UAE notary, then legalised or apostilled, usually allows representation without early travel.
• Documents in English or Arabic generally need a certified Spanish translation by an Argentine public translator (traductor público), often legalised by the Buenos Aires Translators' Association (CTPCBA).
• Video meetings bridge the time difference: the UAE is GMT+4, Argentina GMT-3.
• Some later steps, such as biometrics, may require personal attendance — confirm with counsel.

• Transfer from an account in the applicant's own name whenever possible.
• Use only the official payment instructions published or confirmed by the authorities.
• Keep SWIFT confirmations and bank letters; correspondent banks may ask for the purpose of payment.
• Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) foreign-exchange rules can affect how funds are received; counsel can confirm the current position.
