Is it necessary to confirm residence in Paraguay in person every year, or can this be done remotely??

Confirming your residence permit in Paraguay requires you to visit the country at least once a year to get your residence stamp. Unfortunately, this cannot be done remotely due to immigration requirements. We can help you organise your visit and minimise the time involved..

What additional costs, apart from the cost of obtaining a residence permit, may arise in the process?

In addition to the basic cost of obtaining a residence permit, you may incur expenses for document translation and apostille, medical certificates, biometric registration, as well as notary services and state fees in Paraguay. We will provide a full calculation of all possible costs and help you optimise the process.

What is the procedure for submitting documents and staying in Paraguay for those who want to obtain permanent residence immediately through company registration??

To obtain permanent residence through company registration, you must contribute a minimum authorised capital of $70,000 (contribution period — up to 10 years). Company registration and document submission are possible without mandatory residence in the country. However, to obtain permanent residence and complete the paperwork, you will need to visit Paraguay to submit your biometric data and sign the documents. We accompany our clients at all stages.
