Naturalization and Paraguayan Citizenship

The next step after residency, becoming a Paraguayan citizen.

3 yearsof permanent residency required before applying for naturalization
9 months/yrof minimum recommended physical presence during that period
A1-A2Spanish or Guaraní level required for the naturalization exam

After the legal permanent residency period, it's possible to apply for Paraguayan naturalization and obtain a second passport, one of the most valuable assets for those seeking freedom of movement and long-term legal security. We handle the process from checking requirements to the final filing with the relevant authorities.

The general rule requires 3 years of permanent residency, with a recommended minimum physical presence of about 9 months a year in the country during that period, plus a basic Spanish or Guaraní exam (A1-A2 level) and proof of tax and social security compliance. Since the process has cumulative, document-heavy requirements, we track each one well in advance so nothing catches you off guard when it's time to file.

What's included

  • Review of residency time and other cumulative requirements
  • Organization of the documentation required for naturalization
  • Preparation for the language and civics exam
  • Filing the application with the relevant office
  • Follow-up on the process status through the final decision

Who it's for

Ideal for legal residents who meet the minimum residency period and want to naturalize.
