Residency and ID card

How long does Paraguay residency take, and how many trips do I need?

We offer two ways to get Paraguay temporary residency: over two trips to Paraguay (USD 1,650) or in a single trip (USD 2,350). Migraciones (National Migration Office) does not publish a fixed processing time, but while your application is pending you have provisional resident status (residente precario), which lets you enter and leave the country and work.

Known official timeframes

  • Constancia de Inversionista Extranjero (Foreign Investor Certificate) for the Investor Pass: up to 5 business days with a complete file.
  • Tax residency certificate: 10 business days.

How to save time

Much of the time goes into getting your documents and their apostilles in your home country. We send you the list before you travel so you arrive with everything ready.
