# Argentina citizenship by investment vs Caribbean CBI programs Argentina citizenship by investment vs Caribbean CBI programs is best assessed country by country. Dominica and Grenada have published operating frameworks; Argentina has announced financial terms and a Q4 2026 intake target. The table uses contribution figures checked on October 6, 2026. Starting contributions exclude other charges and do not establish that an individual qualifies. *Dated comparison of Argentina, Dominica and Grenada contribution frameworks* | Comparison | Argentina | Dominica | Grenada | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Main-applicant contribution | US$350,000 announced | US$200,000 EDF | US$235,000 NTF | | Applicant, spouse, two qualifying minor children | US$500,000 announced illustration | US$250,000 EDF for applicant plus up to three qualifying dependants | US$235,000 NTF for ordinary qualifying family of four; category exceptions apply | | Property route | Not named in October notice | Approved real-estate route | Approved-project real-estate route | | Alternative highlighted here | US$800,000 bond; final terms not established | Country-specific real-estate terms | Country-specific approved-project terms | | Application structure | Operational channel not verified here | Authorized-agent submission framework | Authorized-local-agent framework | | Total processing | No established end-to-end estimate | Verify current case-specific expectations | Verify current case-specific expectations | | Family rules | Announced spouse/child categories | Own dependant definitions | Own dependant definitions | *Do not treat the family amounts as equal eligibility packages. Each country defines dependants and charges additional fees differently.* ### Example: choosing whether to wait Hypothetical scenario: an investor wants another nationality and is willing to consider several countries. Published procedures and the ability to obtain a current written quote may matter more than Argentina's announcement. A different investor specifically wants Argentine nationality. Dominica or Grenada cannot provide that outcome, even if their contribution figures are lower. The investor must weigh Argentina's unresolved details rather than assuming every passport meets the same goal. ## Costs need comparable boundaries Request a quote separating contribution, due diligence, interviews, processing, passport and professional charges. Grenada's official pages reviewed here show inconsistent due-diligence figures. That conflict should be clarified before calculating a final family total. Passport access also needs destination-specific verification. Neither lower price nor a destination count measures the value of nationality for every household.
