A court has questioned the decree behind it. We do not market this programme. On 2 October 2026 Argentina's Ministry of Economy announced the launch of a citizenship-by-investment programme. It said the programme will be operational to receive applications during the fourth quarter of 2026. The ministry describes two routes: a non-refundable contribution to the National Treasury, or subscription of a public security created for the programme. Spouses and children may apply with their own prescribed contributions. Under Decree 524/2025, a dedicated Agency assesses each application and consults security, financial-intelligence and other bodies. The National Directorate of Migration (DNM) then grants or refuses citizenship. Argentina's Public Prosecutor's Office reported on 2 July 2026 that the National Electoral Chamber had declared the underlying decree, DNU 366/2025, null in a citizenship case.Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIndustry NewsArgentinaProgramme updatesDue diligencehttps://beyondborders.ms/insights/china-exit-entry-regulation-order-841https://beyondborders.ms/insights/china-exit-entry-regulation-order-841The State Council's Provisions on Exit and Entry Administration took effect on 15 September 2026.

It says that under the Act new citizens must establish a genuine link to the country, be physically present in Dominica for at least 30 days during the first five years after receiving citizenship, and take part in approved integration programmes. The government says it intends to ensure these requirements are fully implemented and adhered to.

This is what the Citizenship Unit (CIU) page says about how it works, the government fees it lists, interviews and who files applications. Under the PBO, the main applicant or a family of up to four contributes US$250,000 in a unit of an Approved Public Benefit Project, paid to the Unit, according to the CIU. The CIU lists further government fees, including due-diligence fees and post-approval fees for a spouse and dependants, and separate amounts for additional dependants. The main applicant and dependants over 16 attend an interview run by an independent professional firm commissioned by the Unit, or by Unit officials virtually. Applications go through a CIU Authorised Agent. Projects are designated by the CIU after the developer is approved by the Board of Governors as an Approved Public Benefactor.Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAnalysisSt Kitts & NevisProgramme updatesDue diligencehttps://beyondborders.ms/insights/st-kitts-nevis-ciu-deloitte-reviewhttps://beyondborders.ms/insights/st-kitts-nevis-ciu-deloitte-reviewOn 14 October 2026 the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship Unit (CIU) said Deloitte’s first-stage review of controls, due diligence, risk and IT is complete.
