FAQ
What is the process and timeline to transition from Temporary to Permanent Residency?
Under Paraguay’s immigration framework (Law 6984/22), almost all foreign applicants begin with Temporary Residency, valid for 2 years. Temporary Residency & Cédula: Once your required documents (apostilled background check, birth certificate, etc.) are submitted, your 2-year temporary residency card and national identity card (Cédula de Identidad) are issued. Conversion to Permanent Residency: After holding temporary status for 21 to 24 months, you become eligible to apply for Permanent Residency (valid for 10 years). Fast-Track / Direct Permanent Residency: Direct permanent residency is generally reserved for investors qualifying through the official SUACE (Sistema Unificado de Apertura y Cierre de Empresas) program.
How does Paraguay’s tax environment work, and how do I become a tax resident?
Paraguay operates a strict territorial tax system: 0% Tax on Foreign Income: Income generated outside of Paraguay—such as foreign remote work, global investments, capital gains, or foreign dividends—is generally not taxed locally. Local Tax Identification (RUC): Once you receive your Cédula, local legal experts can register you with the tax authority (DNIT) to issue your RUC number (Registro Único del Contribuyente) and a formal Tax Residency Certificate upon request. No Wealth or Exit Taxes: Paraguay has no wealth taxes, inheritance taxes, exit taxes, or Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) rules.
Do I need to live in Paraguay permanently, and can the process be done remotely?
In-Person Requirement: No, the process cannot be done entirely remotely. You must physically visit Paraguay briefly (typically 3 to 10 business days) for biometrics, health checks, signing forms, and submitting files directly to the National Directorate of Migrations. Physical Presence Rules: You do not need to reside in Paraguay full-time to maintain your temporary residency. You only need to ensure you do not leave the country for more than 12 consecutive months at a time to keep your status active. Local Expertise: Partnering with local legal experts ensures your foreign documents are properly translated into Spanish, apostilled, and pre-screened before you arrive, allowing in-person government appointments to be streamlined.
