Simple, Streamlined Process
We guide you through every step of the residency process, making your transition to Paraguay as smooth as possible.
Initial Consultation
Free 30-minute consultation via video call or phone. We assess your situation, discuss your goals (tax optimization, family relocation, business setup, etc.), and recommend the best residency pathway. You'll receive a personalized action plan, timeline, and cost breakdown. No obligation—we answer all your questions before you commit.
Document Preparation
We provide a country-specific document checklist tailored to your citizenship. Required documents typically include: valid passport (6+ months validity), FBI background check or equivalent, birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), proof of income or bank statement ($5,000+ USD), and passport photos. We coordinate apostille services (2-4 weeks) and certified Spanish translations (1 week). Total prep time: 3-6 weeks.
Application Submission
Travel to Paraguay (typically 3-5 day trip) to submit your application in person at the Dirección General de Migraciones in Asuncion. We schedule all appointments, accompany you to immigration offices, translate during meetings, and ensure every form is completed correctly. We also help you open a local bank account (required) and obtain a Paraguayan tax ID (RUC). You'll leave with confirmation that your application is in process.
Residency Approval
Receive your temporary residency card (Cédula de Identidad) typically within 45-90 days (faster with our priority processing). We monitor your application status, handle any government requests, and notify you immediately upon approval. You can then apply for permanent residency after 3 years of maintaining temporary status. Permanent residency grants full work rights and eligibility for citizenship application.
Why Paraguay?
Paraguay offers one of the world's most accessible residency programs—no language test, no investment requirement, no minimum stay. Combined with a territorial tax system that only taxes income earned within the country (foreign income is 100% tax-free), it's become a top destination for entrepreneurs, digital nomads, crypto investors, retirees, and families seeking a new home in South America.
The cost of living is among the lowest in South America—a comfortable lifestyle costs $1,500-2,500/month for a family. Paraguay uses the Guarani (PYG) but USD is widely accepted. The country is politically stable, has a growing economy, and offers excellent healthcare options. Asuncion, the capital, is a modern city with international schools, shopping malls, and a vibrant expat community.
After 3 years of residency, you can apply for citizenship, which grants you a Paraguayan passport (ranked #35 globally for visa-free travel), the right to vote, and the ability to pass citizenship to your children. Paraguay allows dual citizenship, so you keep your original nationality. The citizenship process typically takes 6-12 months after meeting the 3-year requirement.
