We Obtain Permanent Residency in Paraguay
It was five and a half months from the August day we arrived in Paraguay until we received our permanent residency.
Prior to coming to Paraguay we gathered our police checks, birth certificates and marriage certificate, all of which had to be legalised in the foreign office of the UK and then the Paraguay consulate in London. We had one U.S. document that needed to be legalised in America and, because of time constraints, we decided to send this document from Paraguay. We had not taken any advice about this and it turned out to be a mistake.
We knew that we wanted to submit our application for residency in Paraguay. We also wanted to find an apartment and begin making a home. Our application needed to be submitted by November as police checks have to be less than 6 months old when the application is submitted. We were newly retired and just wanted to take our time and have some quiet days exploring our new home.
The first thing that had to be done was to have a big pile of photocopies made of our passports. There is no point doing this before arrival as the immigration stamp is needed in the copies. We also had our photos taken. The photo carnets contain eight photos here, not four like the UK, and you need a lot of photos.
Our UK documents had to be legalised again at the foreign office in Asuncion. Many government offices are only open in the morning in Paraguay. The foreign documents can be legalised in one day, but must be submitted early in the morning as the foreign office is one of the morning-only departments and documents can only be collected up until about 1 p.m. People from countries requiring an entry visa also get this legalised here, but at another entrance. It was free at the time and took one day.
You only leave a photocopy of your passport at the office, not your passport itself. The documents then had to be translated into Spanish along with passports by a registered translator. There are surprisingly few of these advertised. We also had to register at a local police station and at Antecedent, which is another police department, and Interpol. We had the help of a local attorney since our Spanish was limited and at the time we would not have been able to fill in the forms and follow the instructions at the departments without assistance.
Despite our limitations, we found that the officials at the offices were friendly, helpful and willing to share a joke. Taking fingerprints at Interpol is still a messy job. It was nearly lunchtime when we were there and I commented on how it would be difficult to eat my lunch. The police officer suggested that I had soup that day. I have not had this type of banter with a UK policeman in many years. My husband also caused a minor commotion as the good soap had run out, causing all to hunt for a new batch. It all helped make the process relaxed and gave a good indication of how the police and other officials viewed their role in assisting the public.
Unlike many other countries that require applicants to show regular income, it is only necessary to open a savings account at a local bank. At the time, it was necessary to put in $5000 USD but this has been reduced and it is now only necessary to meet the local bank’s minimum requirement although it is recommended to show the higher amount. Once you obtain residency you may take your money from the savings account if you wish.
It can be hard to open a bank account in Paraguay as a cedula is needed. To get around this, savings accounts may be opened with a passport at the national banks. HSBC now has a presence here and Premier clients can manage their accounts here. They have staff fluent in German and English available for foreign clients.
Our mistake in not having the American document legalised before leaving caused a headache. We had assumed that we could send a money order to the Paraguay consulate in Washington, D.C. from Paraguay. Unfortunately, banks in Paraguay do not issue money orders, the consulate does not accept personal cheques / western union and cash cannot be sent by mail or fed ex. In the end we had to send the document from here to be met in Washington by a bank cheque sent from the UK by friends. We have learned to ask in the future rather than make assumptions and also that money orders are not widely available in most of South America.
A medical check is necessary along with blood tests for infectious diseases and yellow fever vaccinations. We chose to take the public route, because we were public health workers all our working lives and wanted to see how the public system worked here. This process took about 4 weeks to complete. It involved a psychological assessment, a dermatological examination and a physical exam. The process takes so long because all results must be gathered before the final medical assessment is done by a doctor and the certificate is issued. Some clinics are only available on a weekly basis and are spread out over central Asuncion. After this is done the certificate is legalised by the health ministry.
A private certificate takes just a few days including the legalisation as everything can be done at one doctor’s office and one of the many laboratories that do blood analysis. The completed certificate must also be legalised by the health ministry. I would recommend using private doctor’s certificates to save a lot of time and running around, especially if you are new to the city and the summer heat.
When we were ready to submit documents, they were all photocopied and authenticated by an escribana. We also had to make a declaration that we would abide by the laws of Paraguay. We submitted our residency documents at the end of October, although the submission could have been completed within weeks had we chosen to use the private medical certificate option, or were more hurried about the process. The original documents and two sets of photocopies and the power of attorney are submitted for residency.
We gave our attorney limited power of attorney when we submitted our documents to Migraciones. This allowed him to check the progress of our documents on a weekly basis and deal with any queries that arose. I would recommend any applicant to use this facility as a good attorney will know the law and avoid needless loss of time. Should you choose to leave the country while your application is being processed, the limited power of attorney will allow your lawyer to collect your carnet for you.
We were granted permanent residency in February approximately 115 days after documents were submitted. A carnet is issued that states permanent residency has been granted. Your original documents are returned to you at this time. It is currently three years from this date that you are eligible to apply for Paraguayan citizenship.
Once we had our carnet, all that was left to do was our cedulas. To prepare for this takes a couple days. We had to get radicacion forms, which are further confirmation of permanent residency. Our Interpol forms had to be legalised, we obtained another police form which was a further check for misdemeanours and renew our antecedentes form which expired after three months. We submitted our application with copies of our original documents and the original translations. Your original foreign police check form is retained by Migraciones. It takes one month for the cedula application to be processed. Assistance in getting the cedula was included in Ariel’s fee. He also did a mid point check on the processing of the cedula to ensure everything was on schedule. Even though a lawyer may collect your carnet and cedula for you, you must make your application for cedula in person.
It is now necessary for the cedula to be obtained within 180 days of being granted residency or residency is rescinded. The cedula is issued one month from the date of application.
We have heard reports of other peoples’ experiences in other South American countries and of delays here so we have been very pleased to gain our residency in such a short time and with no difficulties.
We like Paraguay and plan to continue living here. Although once residency is obtained, you do not have to live here to qualify for citizenship but it is recommended that you visit at least once during the middle of your 3 year qualification period.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEND A CONFIDENTIAL LETTER ABOUT THE INMIGATION case mine in a private email in order to start with it legally
Roger, we do have a business email but for now since we’re so late answering, try arleankelley@yahoo.com for a faster reply.

Hello,
I would like to invest in Paraguay and gain permanent residence. However i am a Ghanaian and i would like to know if i do qualify as an African. I can meet all the requirement but i wanna know if my race as an African would affect the process. Please advice. Thank you.
I don’t think the fact that you are African would affect your entry to the countries in our area. However, we have no one in Paraguay to recommend to you for immigration information. It is possible you can get information from the Paraguay embassy in your area. I’m really sorry we can’t offer you more than that.
Nice ideas ! I was enlightened by the info ! Does someone know where my assistant might be able to obtain a sample DS-82 copy to work with ?
Sorry Ellie but we are not sure what it is you need. Although we like Paraguay, we don’t know anyone right now to recommend you contact. I wish we could be more help.

I’m interested in Paraguay permanent residency. What are the requirements? Is through investment/ start a business? If so how much capital with costs? Or how?

Hello Dinexh. We try to give information here but we do not deal directly with immigration though we often have information about it. I do know it is difficult for people from your part of the world to get citizenship in South America. You might contact the Paraguay embassy for the information.
I am sorry but we don’t have anyone right now in Paraguay to recommend to help you.
i am interested in residency of Paraguay so kindly give the good and honest name address and contact of the lawyer in Paraguay based on your own experience.
your support in this regards will be appreciated.
thanks

Hello Ahsan, I am sorry that I don’t know anyone to recommend to you in Paraguay. We have tried unsuccessfully. We know of two people there who supposedly handle reisdencies but people have complained about both not answering emails or not following through. But there are people there who have been happy with their services. You can try them, and this is the best we can do:

Hi,
I am Indian national, Software consultant working over the internet.
I want to apply for Paraguay permanent residency, and for the citizenship too in 3 years. Do you have any referrals to agencies / attorneys with experience working with Indians on this? vicky@advantageparaguay.com is bouncing.
Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Dear Vidya, I have tried to check on this and you are not the first person who has had bouncing emails. To be honest we have had a problem finding a good service provider in Paraguay. My suggestion is to find a forum in Paraguay and ask there. By that I mean a web site where expats living there are conversing online. We had another Indian national who tried several countries, including Paraguay, and managed to get in to Ecuador. His story is on the web site entitled Never Never Give up. He wrote quite a lot in comments that might be helpful. I think there are two articles that mention him or that he contributed to on the site. Sorry we can’t be of more help. Arlean

Awaiting your kind reply
Hi Juzer, we do not have a contact for you in Paraguay with whom we have experience. We’ve had some problems with those we referred not responding to our subscriber’s emails. This is something in Paraguay who does residencies and referred to us You can try them and see if you get response. Sorry we can’t help you more.

Dear Arlean,
I am from India and I would like to get a 2nd passport from Paraguay. I don’t have a sponsor but I am ready to invest in Paraguay if that helps. Please respond.
Hi, We have two possible resources to offer you. First, one of our subscribers from India was not able to get into Paraguay. His name is Makwana and you can find his story on the web site under Never Never Never Give Up. He added a lot of information under comments on that article.

Hi dear Arlean !
Im a pakistani citizen , i wanna get paraguay residency , but as u responded to other brothers , we need a sponser , can u tell us how can find a sponser in paraguay? And that person has to be from relatives or anyone can do this ?
Best regards
Hi Zayn, A sponsor, as far as we know, does not have to be a relative, but needs to be someone that you know in the country. That person has to take legal responsibility for you. Of course I am sure you would find work and take responsibility for yourself but still they do have to take on that obligation if it were necessary. You can check with the people that we have recommended h ere to others and see if they have any ideas, but this is our understanding.
Hi Greetings Dear Arlean,
I’m Rashid Khan from Dubai United Arab Emirates holder of Pakistani citizenship I’m living and working in United Arab Emirates from 12 years I’m interested to move Paraguay please assist me to relocate there.
Thanks
Regards
Rashid Khan
Dear Rashid, please let us know if you have a sponsor in Paraguay. I am assuming you don’t since you didn’t mention a sponsor. I am so sorry but right now we are not able to offer much help to people from your part of the world. If you do have a sponsor, then the immigration attorney in Paraguay may be able to help you. Otherwise it’s difficult to impossible.
Hello,
I am a Christian Lebanese Engineer, i would like to get the residence, but you said its hard for Middle Easterns, is that the case for Lebanon as well? because i know that Lebanese People in Paraguay are abundant and very welcome.
Is there any specific lawye/office you advise for a Lebanese citizen?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Hi Elie, it is next to impossible in several countries in South America unless you have a relative/sponsor in the country. But it may be possible in Paraguay. I suggest you contact the people below to help you. We have not worked with them in the past but are recommending them based on someone else’s endorsement. We hope to meet them in coming months but for now we suggest you try them. Also, we suggest you read Makwana and his wife’s story entitled Never Never Never Give up. They are an example of a family that didn’t give up. We wish you the very best and hope you will let us know what results you get from these new people, okay? All we have to go by is the experience of people like you.

Hi Dear
I am Farooq Khan from Pakistan , i lived studied & worked in Turkey.
I need information about honest consultant for residency of Paraguay…
i saw your previous advices about Victoria of advanceparaguay & did mail her but i guesss her mail box is full or some system eror as my mails returned.
So kindly provide me derails where i can send email.
Regards
Farooq Khan
We sent an email to the address that you gave us, indusmarkeeting555@gmail.com, and it bounced back saying that email does not exist. We explained in detail in that email but will just say here we will check to see why there is a problem with their email and also to tell you it is very difficult for applicants from your country to get residency in any of the countries in our area unless you have a sponsor already established in the country of your choice, even if you can qualify otherwise.
Thanx for your reply, let me check my email a/c once again neanwhile you may send me the same email to mfk1973@yahoo.com
regards
Farooq
I thought it might be. But we will follow up on your email to them. Others may be trying to email them as well so thank you for letting me know. Always, if you have a problem with contacting someone–or don’t get a response when you do–let us know and we’ll check on it. Mostly my email was to let you know that, in order to get into Paraguay you need someone in the country who will sponsor you. Without that, it’s pretty difficult, even if you qualify otherwise. We think it may result from the fact they have so many applicants, but we don’t really know. Arlean
Hi again, I am still waiting for your mail which was bounced back to you due error in my email id.

HI,
I am a US Citizen, who cannot obtain a US Passport due to unpaid back taxes. If I cannot obtain a US Passport right now, do I have any options in obtaining a Paraguay Passport (is it possible)? I am really looking for any loopholes that may be out there. I am retired but feel really bad my country is holding me like a criminal due to back taxes. Any help would be greatly appreciative.
Best regards,
James, I am so sorry to know this. The U.S. has begun to restrict travel of its citizens on several bases. Taxes are only one. We don’t know of any country where you can get a passport without being in the country.
Hi
I am from Pakistan and I am married having a child .we all are having USA valid b1/b2 visa .and i want to get the residency followed by the citizenship of Paraguay.so please recommend me the best way to obtain the residency and the visa of Paraguay.plz suggest me the best and the most convenient attorney from Paraguay and also within the Pakistan.your consideration will be heartily appreciated.
Hello Adnan, The contact information for the Paraguay attorney we are recommending right now is included below. In all fairness, it is very difficult right now for anyone from the area of your birth to obtain residency status here, but since you have some U.S. status, you might want to check with the attorney on that basis. Best of luck to you!

Hi Ahmad, you can try contacting the attorney listed on the article about Paraguay citizenship. And if you don’t get good response there, here is another name recommended to us. If you try either of them, we would like to know if you were happy with the results. Response from our readers helps determine whether we recommend them in the future:

Ahmad, I just read your response and think I should warn you that it is now very difficult for anyone from your area to even get a visa in Paraguay or any other country in our area. There are a couple of possibilities–one is if you know someone in the country that will sponsor you. Otherwise it is difficult to impossible.
I just want you to be aware. Also we depend on readers to inform us of their experience. There is the stated policy and then there is the actual policy. We are always aware of the stated police. We learn the actual policy by observing what really happens in practice–and part of that information comes from people like you.
Hi Dear
i have tried to send email to Maria Victoria of afvantage pataguay given by you & anothet one nention on her website but mail returned….surely system eror…
Kindly advice me 1-2 well reputed consultant for residency of paraguay..
Regards
Hi, thanks for letting me know the email is bouncing back. I have just sent an email myself to try to see what is going on. If it bounces back to me I will call. You didn’t state your country of citizenship or birth and that kind of limits my response to help you, but as a heads up, which you know by now if you are a subscriber, we are sad we have serious problems helping applicants from the Middle East, Asia and a few other countries, here in the southern cone of South America. If a person has a relative established in the country who will sponsor them, that makes it a lot easier. In any event, thanks for telling me you have a problem. We’ll try to figure out the reason and get it fixed. Arlean
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am very interested in getting second passport and citizenship for me and my family spouse and five dependents. I feel that Paraguay Citizenship would be an excellent option and subject of interest.
Kindly advise me how we can proceed further with you and how long it would take to aquire the citizenship and passport without living there. It would be appreciated to inform us what are the bases of securing and granting such citizenship and what would be the validity of the awarded passport. What also sort of documents are needed from us to start with, and let us please know the accessible countries being holders of Paraguay citizenship / Passports including European and American countries.
Incase that is convenient, can we proceed further in getting the PR through you directlt as to act on our behalf infront of the government or need physical presence therein?
Thank you and look forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Hamada
Hello Hamada, we do not do immigration work here. We are only publishers trying to get information to people who need it. Frankly we have had problems finding someone in Paraguay about whom we never receive complaints. We do have dependable people in Argentina and Uruguay but so far Paraguay has been kind of a problem. But here is a new name, given to us by someone we consider dependable. If you want to try them, we would appreciate if you let us know what you think. That’s the only way we know is from what subscribers tell us. Best of luck to you!

Hi, I’m happy with finding this post.
I’d like to ask you about ‘An applicant for citizenship who has already PR must physically stay for 3 years in Paraguay?’.
In the body, you said ##We like Paraguay and plan to continue living here. Although once residency is obtained, you do not have to live here to qualify for citizenship but it is recommended that you visit at least once during the middle of your 3 year qualification period.##
Is it still vailed under the Paraguayan Laws?
thanks.
Hi Lloyd, that was an article by one of our writers in Paraguay. We don’t know the answer. I suggest you go to the forum http://www.totalparaguay.com and put your question on there. I think you will find people there who have been through the process and can help you. My guess is that what they wrote is still valid, but I would verify it. Things do change here and we might not hear abuot it in Argentina.
Is it possible for me to legalize my documents 100% via mail, or will I have to visit the Consulate in the United States? I have been living in Central America as a perpetual tourist and traveling to the consulate just to have some papers stamped seems a bit too much.
Hi Jon, Unless something has changed, You need to send the document to the Secretary of State with a fee (it used to be $10.00 in Florida) for apostille. Then they return them to you authorized. I am in Argentina and our attorney handled that for citizenship, via mail. When we applied for residency in Argentina at the start, we were still in the U.S. in Florida, at that time, for a fee, the State of Florida even sent the document back to us with the apostille already included (as stated, for an extra fee). Probably you will need to check on your own State but no, you don’t have to go there. You can’t do it by email though. At least not as far as we know.
I communicated with Mr.Justino Ariel Ortiz Santander for long time , I send him $400 after he asked me that he can not start working with me without receiving the money to make sure I am serious.Mr. Ariel tried hard to get lots of money from me before i reach Paraguay just to help me get my visa to Paraguay, when i did not send him more money then he disappeared and never answer my e-mails. I keep a record of his e-mails to me. here you are his full contact details. I hope you will publish my message.

Hi Alaa, thanks so much for your post. We always like to know if there are problems with our recommendations. I have contacted Mr. Santander and will get back to the forum on this. One problem is that many people do contact the lawyers who really aren’t serious and have no intention of ever paying them. For that reason you can see why they like to get some money up front. They too have families to take care of. But you sent him $400 so that really sounds like you are serious. You didn’t say how much he was asking. I suspect this is a misunderstanding and hopefully it can be cleared up. Thanks again and we’ll get back with you. Arlean
Alaa, I apologize for the delay. I have been in touch with Mr. Santander and it does seem that there is a plausible explanation and that perhaps a bit of misunderstanding. I am so sorry to say that most of the Middle East people have obstacles in emigrating here. It isn’t impossible in many cases, just problematic. I have asked the reason and so far no one knows. However, you are not alone. People from the U.S. experience a lot of problems with banks and other financial institutions because of their origins. We do understand the reasons for that however. I’ll be in touch by your email and see if we can still help. Thanks again for being in touch.
I found Mr.Santander through a reference on another blog in 2013. He managed my residency without any problems and never asked me for more money than he requested in his initial proposal. Thanks to him, I am now a permanent resident here in Paraguay and he still assists me in my business matters here. I am American and anyone with questions about his work is welcome to contact me through the contact information on my website http://bit.ly/1G9ki0b

Hi, Matt, and thank you so much for your comment.
Alaa, I was in touch with Ariel Santander in an attempt to work this out and wrote you a private email but never got a response.
Please provide with detailed requirements, fees you and your government charges for an American citizen to become a permanent resident in Paraguay.
Hi Mark, here is the contact information for an immigration attorney in Paraguay, We have not worked with him directly but were given his name by someone who liked him. If you do decide to work with him, let us know how it goes, okay? That will help us know whether to recommend him to others. And thanks!

Hi Syed, We have had a problem finding someone we can really depend on to refer in Paraguay. I suggest you post on http://www.totalparaguay.com and see if anyone there has suggestions for you. I would say that yes it is possible although we are told it is a little more difficult if you are from a country in that area. I really don’t know why. Also, in the Four Flags Journal there is an article about qualifying for residency in Paraguay. I assume that you have read it.
Hi Dear ,
I’m interested in obtaining a Paraguayan passport , I’m from the Syrian nationality , please advise if there is any restrictions or extra fees applied for people from Syrian nationality to follow the Paraguayan citizenship program ?
thank you
Hi Bassel, I don’t think there is any extra fee for anyone from any specific nationality. In your place, if I wanted to go to Paraguay I would apply there. Wishing you well!!
Dear Arlean,
Nice wonderful post… Hoping for good day.. We are pakistani couple. Living and working in Dubai since 9 years… We have some savings and would love to move to paraguay to get permanent residence.. Can you recommend some of attorney or a good consultant who can help us? other then the guy u mention above in your post? I been through the website http://www.totalparaguay.com. .. but want to know through you that if there is some recommended attorneys!!! who genuinely help people against the fees they get??
Is there any Investment requirement also?? what i heard we need birth certificates. Marriage certificate and $5000 for a paraguay bank.. all documents should be legalised by Home country foreign affairs and the legalised from paraguay embassy from home country!!…
Waiting for your reply!! and Thanks once again for giving so much nice information
Hello Nadeem, I am so sorry that we really don’t know anyone we can recommend 100%. I wish there were. The man we recommended has worked out well with some people coming in to Paraguay but people complain that he doesn’t always answer emails or requests for contact. You can keep trying with him–and let us know if you find someone that you feel is good. Sorry we’re not more help on this one. Maybe this is a business opportunity for someone reading this.

Hello and thanks for your comment. In all honesty people from the Middle East have a difficult challenge getting residency and citizenship here. First I will ask if you have someone inside the country who will sponsor you. That can help. If you do, then we may be able to help you. Let us know.
Hi and thanks. We try to answer all questions though we do not normally post web sites that are not our own or included in articles. We do have a facebook page. FourFlagsJournal.com.

Hello Mahdi, Here is contact information for an immigration attorney in Paraguay. We used to recommend this man until he was slow responding to clients and he informed us that he was having some health problems but I understand that he is back in practice now. You can try him and if that doesn’t work, let us know and we will try to put you in touch with someone else. His name is Ariel Santander and his email is arielsantander93@hotmail.com . See how it goes and let us know, okay?

Thank you for sharing this story.
I would like to come to Paraguay.
Can you tell me which attorney helped you ?
thank you
The Paraguay attorney that we formerly recommended (for residency in Paraguay) is having some health problems and we don’t recommend anyone unless we have definite knowledge about them. We don’t have anyone right now that we know enough about to recommend. But we suggest that you go to http://www.totalparaguay.com. That’s a forum of expats in Paraguay and I think you could probably find some recommendation there. Good luck!

Hi Dragan, thanks SO MUCH for the encouraging comment. I hope you’ll continue to keep us informed.

Very helpful info, with details and names — thanks! Do you know expats who have successfully become naturalized Paraguayan citizens?
Hi Laure, and thanks for your comment. At this point I don’t know anyone personally who has attained citizenship. I do know several who have permanent residency and it all seems pretty straight forward. We are in touch with an attorney there who handles citizenship issues and I am sure that getting citizenship is not a problem so long as you follow the requirements.
