Frequently asked questions
What is the Paraguay Investor Pass?
The Paraguay Investor Pass is a residency-by-investment program launched in 2026 by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC) and Migraciones (National Migration Office), so that foreigners who invest in the country can obtain Paraguay permanent residency directly, without first holding temporary residency. It is governed by MIC Resolution 283/2026. Read the full answer →
Can foreigners buy property in Paraguay?
Yes. Foreigners can buy property in Paraguay; the main restriction is the 50 km border security zone, where citizens of neighboring countries cannot own rural property (Law 2532/2005). If the purchase is an investment of at least USD 200,000 for commercial purposes, it can also qualify you for Paraguay permanent residency through the Investor Pass. Read the full answer →
Is investing in Paraguay real estate worth it?
Investing in Paraguay real estate can make sense, but it depends on the property and your goals. An investment property can generate short- or long-term rental income and appreciate over time, and if the investment is at least USD 200,000 for commercial purposes, it qualifies for Paraguay permanent residency through the Investor Pass. No return is guaranteed. Read the full answer →
Does Paraguay residency give you citizenship?
No. Paraguay residency, whether temporary or permanent, gives you the cédula (Paraguayan ID card) but not citizenship or a passport. Citizenship by naturalization is a separate process: among other requirements, the Constitution calls for at least three years of residence in the country. Read the full answer →
