Your Paraguay tax residency in just 2 days on site

Yes, you must be in Asunción in person to file your temporary residency application. It's a legal requirement in Paraguay that no representative can replace.

The stay is short, though: we handle all the paperwork in advance so your application can be filed in just 2 days on site. From the moment you land in Asunción, we take care of everything: interpreting at every interaction, being by your side at every appointment, handling every administrative formality. You don't have to do a thing.

With our Classic package at USD 1,600, you get your Paraguay tax residency at the most affordable rate: a first 2-day stay to file, then a second visit 3 months later to get your Cédula with us. If you'd rather come only once, the Express package takes care of everything, temporary residency, Cédula, and RUC, in a single 2-day trip.

Our process has 5 clear steps.

Step 1, First Contact: Message us on WhatsApp. We'll review your profile, answer your questions, and check that your documents are in order, free of charge and with no obligation.

Step 2, Commitment: Once you've chosen your package (Classic at USD 1,600 or Express at USD 2,000), a 50% deposit gets your application started.

Step 3, Application Preparation: You email us your documents. We handle their official translation and authentication, and prepare every additional document your immigration file requires. In parallel, we take care of all the local paperwork ahead of time, file documents in advance, and book your appointments with the Paraguayan immigration authorities, so your arrival in Asunción goes smoothly with no surprises.

Step 4, Your Stay in Asunción: You fly to Paraguay. From the moment you land, we handle every local step: interpreting at each interaction, being by your side at every appointment, managing all the administrative formalities. You literally have nothing to do. Your application is filed within 2 days.

Step 5, Receiving Your Documents: Your temporary residency card is issued in about 3 months. The Cédula and RUC follow: during your second visit with the Classic package, or without coming back with the Express package (your documents are shipped to your home via FedEx).

We manage the entire process on your behalf. Your only commitment: be in Asunción for 2 days.

Here's how the overall timeline breaks down:

• Filing: 2 days in person in Asunción.
• Temporary residency card: about 3 months after filing.
• Cédula and RUC: right after your temporary residency card, either during your second visit with the Classic package (USD 1,600), or without coming back with the Express package, in which case your documents are shipped directly to you via FedEx.

Plan on about 4 months between filing and receiving your complete set of Paraguay tax residency documents.

You don't need to be in Paraguay during the wait: we follow up on your application with the Paraguayan authorities and keep you posted at every step.

Here are the only documents you'll need:

• A valid passport with at least 6 months of validity left when you file.
• An apostilled birth certificate.
• An apostilled criminal background check.

If you're married, divorced, or widowed, an apostilled civil status certificate is also required.

Once we have these documents, we take care of their official translation and notarization.

During our initial consultation, we'll check together that your documents are complete and compliant before starting the process.

No. Paraguay has no minimum stay requirement. You just need to visit at least once a year to keep your temporary residency active, and a single day in the country is enough.

Temporary residency is the mandatory first step. It's valid for 2 years and lets you live in and travel to Paraguay freely. During those 2 years, you need to spend at least one day per year in Paraguay to keep your tax residency active.

After 2 years, you can apply for permanent residency. It's valid for 10 years, renewable, and only requires you to be in Paraguay once every 3 years. It's the ideal status if you plan to settle in Paraguay for good or keep your tax residency there long term.

Bottom line: there's no real difference in rights between the two. It's simply the legal sequence. Temporary residency is the required first step, permanent residency is the natural next one.

Our service covers your temporary residency, the first step toward fully settling in Paraguay.

These are three separate documents, matching three stages of your administrative setup in Paraguay:

Temporary residency is your first official status. It legally recognizes you as a resident of Paraguay and lets you live in and travel to the country freely. It comes as a yellow card.

The Cédula is Paraguay's national ID card. It's a red card that gives you access to all civil and administrative rights: opening a Paraguayan bank account, getting credit cards from local banks, applying for loans, buying real estate more easily, getting a Paraguayan driver's license, and even a firearms permit.

The RUC (Registro Único del Contribuyente) is your Paraguayan tax ID number, the equivalent of a US Social Security Number or tax ID. It's tied to your Cédula once issued, and it's essential for any business activity in Paraguay and for establishing your tax residency in the country.

Both of our packages include all three documents, and with the Express package, everything is completed in a single 2-day trip.

We offer two all-inclusive packages, at the most competitive rates on the market:

• Classic package, USD 1,600: Your Paraguay tax residency in two stays. A first 2-day visit to Asunción to file your application, then a second visit 3 months later to get your Cédula with us on site.
• Express package, USD 2,000: Everything is completed in a single 2-day trip, Cédula included. Your documents are then shipped directly to your home via FedEx.

Both packages include your temporary residency (yellow card), your Paraguayan Cédula (red card), your RUC (Paraguayan tax ID number), and all administrative and legal fees.

Payment is made in two installments: 50% to start your application, 50% once your residency is granted.

See both packages in detail, or message us on WhatsApp: we'll assess your situation together before you commit to anything.

Yes, completely legal. Paraguay uses an internationally recognized territorial tax system: only income earned within Paraguay is taxable. Foreign-source income is not taxed.

Many countries use this system (Panama, Costa Rica, Georgia, and others), and it's fully compliant with international tax law.

Paraguay has very few tax treaties, which is why professional guidance matters when leaving your home country's tax system: it secures your exit and avoids any risk of double taxation.

Our partner attorneys, who specialize in Paraguayan tax law, will guide you through the legal side of your situation.
