Residency is the legal foundation that lets you live, work, study, or start a business in Paraguay, established by Law No. 6,984/2022 on Migration. Without it, nothing else really moves forward, your ID card, tax ID, bank account, and company formation all depend on this status being sorted out first. We handle the entire process, from initial temporary residency to the conversion into permanent status, so this foundation is built right from day one.
As soon as the application is filed, you receive precarious resident status, which guarantees the right to enter and exit the country, study, and work normally while your case is under review, meaning you don't have to wait for final approval to start your life in Paraguay. We handle organizing your marital status certificate and criminal record from your home country, apostilled or legalized as needed, along with Interpol and Paraguayan National Police background checks and the statements required by the National Immigration Office. It's exactly in these documents, poorly translated, poorly apostilled, or incomplete, that most applications stall.
What's included
- Assessment of your profile and definition of the most suitable residency category
