Common questions

Straight answers about Paraguay residency.

How do I get residency in Paraguay?

Most people take the standard route: apostilled documents from home, local police and INTERPOL certificates, then temporary residency filed in person at Migraciones. In the last 3 months of the 2-year card you file for permanent residency with proof of real income. The Investor Pass goes straight to permanent. See every step →

How much does Paraguay residency cost?

Migraciones charges Gs. 2,926,925 for temporary residency and the same again for permanent (fees from 1 July 2026). Apostilles, translations and certificates come on top, and any service fee is always shown separately. See the 2026 guide →

Do you sell passports?

No. We sell clarity on a legal process.

Is Paraguay a lawless paradise?

No. It's a real country with real laws, and the guidance here respects the local system.

How fast is the Investor Pass?

The CIE has a legal maximum of 5 business days once your file is complete. Migraciones then grants permanent residency; there's no official timeframe, and reported cases range from a few weeks to about four months.
