Article 23, Clause “d” of Law 25.871 regulates temporary residence for foreign investors who contribute their own assets in productive, commercial, or service activities of national interest, with a term of up to three years, renewable, and multiple entries and exits.
According to the regulatory decree, a minimum investment of $1,500,000 argentine pesos is required, and its origin must be proven through institutions authorized by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina.

The applicant must submit a detailed project that includes the economic, financial, and legal feasibility, evaluated by the National Directorate of Migration (DNM) and the Ministry of Industry and Tourism, although the DNM’s technical capacity to assess investments has been questioned.
The process has proven to be complex, with fewer than 30 residence permits granted over five years, due to stringent requirements exceeding those applied to local ventures.

It is suggested that the criterion be made more flexible by initially granting a one-year permit, with subsequent controls and the creation of priority activity and zone lists to simplify the process. Furthermore, including a requirement for registered employees would encourage local hiring, ensuring clear and transparent immigration benefits.
