We guide and support the opening of a personal or business bank account in Paraguay, helping gather documents and meet the requirements set by each institution. Every bank has its own policy toward foreigners, some more welcoming, others more bureaucratic, and picking the right one avoids months of back and forth.

A new resident can usually open an account with an initial limit of up to $1,000 without an active RUC; for larger transactions, the bank will require an active RUC and generally about 6 months of tax history to unlock dollar operations and higher balances. We guide you on which path fits your profile, so your account grows alongside your life in Paraguay without unexpected roadblocks.

What's included

  • Recommending institutions suited to your profile
  • Organizing the documentation required to open the account
  • Support scheduling and in-person assistance
  • Guidance on account activity and banking compliance
