Argentina's non-operational status is documented on Argentina CBI program status.
Turkey figures reflect the commonly cited live real-estate citizenship route. Confirm current Ministry of Interior / land-registry practice before transferring funds.
| Dimension | Turkey CBI | Argentina CBI |
|---|---|---|
| Accepting applications today | Yes — active investment citizenship pathway | No — program not open |
| What you get | Turkish citizenship (and passport) after approval | Proposed citizenship-by-investment framework — not operational |
| Investment threshold | Confirmed popular route: USD 400,000 minimum real estate (appraisal and banking rules apply; typically 3-year hold annotation). Alternative routes often cited at USD 500,000 (e.g. deposit/bonds/capital). | Announced October 2, 2026: US$350,000 Treasury contribution or US$800,000 program bond for the main applicant. Operational application rules and channel not verified. |
| Physical presence | Not a multi-year residence program; expect in-person steps in Turkey (property, residence-permit mechanics, biometrics). Not a "never visit" product. | Not yet determined for any launched CBI product. |
| Passport strength | Turkish passport: ~113 destinations (Henley, 2026) — materially weaker mobility than Argentina, Portugal, or Greece on destination count. | Argentine passport: ~168 destinations (Henley, 2026) if/when obtained — stronger on paper than Turkey, but not available through a live CBI application today. |
| Processing time | Commonly cited roughly 3–8 months from investment through passport issuance, varying with documentation and security checks. | Not yet determined — no applications are being accepted. |
Turkey wins on "file now"; Argentina wins only on paper mobility
If the metric is applying this quarter, Turkey is open and Argentina is not. If the metric is eventual passport strength, Argentina's existing passport ranks higher than Turkey's on Henley counts — but that ranking does not create an open investment program. Credibility means stating both facts without spinning either.
Product reality check
Turkey's route is real estate– and capital–heavy, with compliance steps (valuation, banking, title annotations) that matter as much as the headline USD 400,000 figure. Argentina announced contribution and bond amounts, but it has no equivalent verified public filing checklist because an operational application channel has not been established in this review.
