Temporary Residency Package in Paraguay

As the only territorially taxed country that offers tax residency
without a minimum stay requirement, Paraguay can free you from personal
tax obligations and state insurance payments in your country of
citizenship—provided your center of interest is outside your home
country, your country does not impose citizenship tax, and you do not
spend the majority of the year in any one jurisdiction.

Benefits

Tax Freedom:
Eliminate personal tax obligations and state insurance payments in your
country of citizenship (except where citizenship-based taxation
applies).

Global Mobility: Maintain your primary residence and activities outside Paraguay while securing a legal residency base.

Essential Services:
Once a resident, you can apply for a tax certificate, phone number
covering the Americas and Europe, a bank account, private insurance, and
even an address.

Full Support: Our dedicated
team of Paraguayan lawyers—who have also assisted members of our own
team in obtaining residency—will guide you throughout the entire
process, tailored to your personal situation.

Requirements and Process:

• Temporary Residency (First Visit):
   Obtained in a single visit to Paraguay. You will need a background
  check and birth certificate (documents must be apostilled and in English
  or Spanish). Your Paraguayan ID card (cedula) will be issued within 30–90 days and can be shipped via DHL if you prefer not to wait in person (shipping via DHL is charged separately). Minimum stay: about 1 week to ensure all paperwork is processed.
• Extension (Second Visit): A second visit is required within one year to extend your temporary residency. Recommended stay 5-7 days.
• Permanent Residency (Third Visit):
  During a third and final visit, you will be able to upgrade your
  residency to permanent status, which is not obligatory and is a separate
  service (our lawyers can help you with that one for an extra fee). You
  can also maintain the temporary residency as long as you keep on
  visiting at least once a year.

Costs

Programme Fee: US$3,000 (special offer: US$2,500 for the first 10 applicants).

What’s included: All legal and administrative costs related to obtaining temporary residency.

What’s not included: Travel to Paraguay, your stay there, and optional DHL shipping of your documents.

Payment
is due before beginning the process in Paraguay. Ideally, you should
start while still in your home country so we can check your documents
are in order and ensure your trip is not wasted.

Additional Notes

Residency does not require you to deposit funds in a Paraguayan bank.

Temporary residency already allows you to join the local job market if you wish.

Costs of living in Paraguay are among the lowest in Latin America.

Once you obtain residency, you can become a Paraguayan tax resident without a minimum stay requirement. Tax obligations in your home country depend on your citizenship rules and where your “centre of interest” is located.

Getting Started

1. Payment: The process begins with the programme fee ($2,500 or $3,000 depending on the offer).
2. Legal Support:
   We connect you directly with our dedicated English-speaking Paraguayan
   lawyers, who guide you step-by-step. They will tell you exactly which
   documents you need, and from which office in your home country.
3. Document Check:
   You send pictures of your prepared documents to the legal team. They
   confirm everything is in order before you travel to ensure smooth
   process.
4. First Visit: Once cleared, you arrange
   your first visit to Paraguay (minimum one week). This visit sets you
   free by initiating your temporary residency and starting the clock on
   your new status.
