The right moment is now.

In an increasingly bureaucratic world, where obtaining residency abroad can become an odyssey of endless waits and impossible requests, Paraguay stands out for simplicity, speed, and accessibility.


Today it is one of the few countries where you can obtain legal, stable, and fiscally advantageous residency without having to prove high incomes or make large investments.

But beware: this ease may not last long.

Here’s why you should act now

The current immigration regulations in Paraguay are streamlined and functional, but there is no guarantee they will remain so. With growing international interest in the country due to its tax advantages, it is likely that more restrictive requirements or higher costs will be introduced in the future to limit the influx of applicants.

How does the procedure work?

1. Required documentation:


The most delicate part is to properly prepare the documents from your country of origin. You will need:

* Valid passport

* Apostilled birth certificate

* Criminal record (from the last 5 years), also apostilled

* Proof of residence (bank statement, utility bill, etc.)


All documents must be apostilled, thus legalized according to the Hague Convention.

2. First visit in Paraguay:


You bring the documents, sign the forms, and provide biometric data. The entire process starts within a few days.

3. Approval times:


In just 6–8 weeks, you obtain your temporary residence. If you choose residence by investment, the times are similar but you can directly access permanent residence and 0% tax residence if structured correctly.

The identity card: an essential step

Obtaining residence is only the beginning. To fully integrate, open bank accounts and carry out legal activities in Paraguay, you need the cédula (Paraguayan identity card).


It requires a second visit to the country and is not an optional step. Without this document, operating in Paraguay will be extremely limited.

Conclusion: the opportunity is now

Today Paraguay offers one of the most accessible paths in the world to obtain residence and real tax benefits. But as has already happened in other "attractive" countries, conditions can change rapidly.
If you really want to seize this opportunity, the time to act is now.
