What official minimum amount, tier or threshold applies to each relevant option?

The regulations to Law 25.871 (Decree 616/2010) require an investor to make a productive, commercial or services investment of interest to the country of at least ARS 1,500,000 (PESOS UN MILLON QUINIENTOS MIL). The applicant must submit the investment project to the National Directorate of Migration and prove the origin and legality of the funds and their entry into Argentina through banks or financial institutions authorised by the Central Bank of Argentina. This figure appears in the original 2010 text of the decree; the checked official source does not confirm whether it has since been updated. The official source does not state the government fees for this route.

How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

Once the project is approved, the National Directorate of Migration grants temporary residence and sets a deadline, which is peremptory, for the investment to be carried out. Investor residence may be granted for up to three years, renewable, with multiple entries and exits. The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm how long the investment must be maintained or any physical-presence condition.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

The route grants temporary residence (residente temporario) under the investor subcategory for up to three (3) years, renewable (prorrogable), with multiple entries and exits. The law does not detail renewal conditions or state a longer-term residence or citizenship direction for this subcategory, although its general provisions allow a change of category determined by the National Directorate of Migration (Article 20). The law does not address what happens to the investment.
