布宜诺斯艾利斯，10月2日——阿根廷经济部长路易斯·卡普托周五在社交平台X上宣布，阿根廷将推出南美洲首个投资换国籍计划。
BUENOS AIRES, Oct 2 - Argentina will launch South America's first citizenship-by-investment program, economy minister Luis Caputo announced on X on Friday.
据经济部发布的声明，该计划将于2026年第四季度正式开放申请。申请人只需缴纳35万美元的不可退还费用，或购买80万美元的公债，即可获得阿根廷国籍。
Applications will open in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will offer citizenship through a non-refundable contribution of $350,000 or by purchasing a public bond of $800,000, the economy ministry said in a statement.
经济部指出，该计划是阿根廷为改善投资环境而推出的多项举措之一。总统哈维尔·米莱正通过实施大规模紧缩政策以及推出名为RIGI的优惠激励制度来吸引外资，旨在稳定国家宏观经济并增加美元储备。
This scheme accompanies other measures to strengthen Argentina's investment climate, the ministry said. President Javier Milei has sought to stabilize the country's macro economy and increase its dollar reserves through deep austerity measures and foreign investment led through a generous large-scale incentive regime known as RIGI.
经济部还表示：“此项举措是阿根廷持续对外开放、融入国际体系的重要步骤。”
"The announcement is part of Argentina's ongoing process of opening up and international integration," the ministry added.
此外，申请人的配偶，以及年龄在18至25岁之间、未婚且无子女的子女，只需向阿根廷国库缴纳10万美元即可一同申请国籍；未满18岁的子女则只需缴纳2.5万美元即可。
An applicant's spouse, as well as their children between 18 and 25 who are single and without children of their own, may also apply for citizenship by contributing $100,000 to Argentina's treasury. Children under 18 may apply by contributing $25,000.
