Argentina CBI Family Cost 2026: Main Applicant and Dependent Fees

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director

Summary

Under the October 2026 announced framework, the main applicant pays a $350,000 Treasury contribution or an $800,000 bond; spouse about $100,000; qualifying children 18–25 about $100,000 each; minors about $25,000 each. This article calculates household budgets and notes still-unpublished fees and opening timing.

Short answer: Under the October 2026 announced framework, the main applicant may pay a non-refundable $350,000 Treasury contribution or subscribe an about $800,000 program bond. A spouse adds about $100,000; each qualifying child 18–25 (unmarried, no children) about $100,000; each child under 18 about $25,000. Official example: couple plus two minors on the contribution route ≈ $500,000. Intake is targeted for Q4 2026; government and legal fees may still be extra.

Fee table (announced figures)

Person Amount (USD, approx.)
Main applicant $350,000 contribution or $800,000 bond
Spouse $100,000
Child 18–25 (unmarried, no children) $100,000 each
Child under 18 $25,000 each
Example: couple + 2 minors (contribution) $500,000

Whether dependent add-ons on the bond route always use Treasury contributions depends on final implementing rules.

What else to budget?

  • Government processing and due-diligence fees (not all fixed at announcement)
  • Legal, translation, notarization, police certificates
  • Travel if biometrics or an oath are required
  • Do not transfer investment funds before official opening

Who should run the family numbers?

Households seeking Argentine citizenship in one plan, tolerant of a new program still implementing, and able to document traceable funds. If the goal is a U.S. green card, evaluate EB-5 separately—these are different products.

Global Immigrate’s recommendation

Build two tables—contribution vs bond—by actual headcount, plus 10–20% contingency for unpublished fees. Start source-of-funds and police certificates early. Until intake and official payment channels are confirmed, refuse “guaranteed slots, pay first” offers.

Data current as of October 2026. General information only; not legal advice. Final terms follow Argentine official publications.

Can parents be included?

The October framework focused on spouse and children; whether parents are included depends on final rules.
