Why Choose Investment Over Standard Residency?

Most applicants choose the standard Temporary Residency because it is cheaper. However, the Investment (SUACE) route is the “VIP Lane” for serious applicants.

Here is why investors choose this path:
1. Skip the Temporary Phase 
Standard residency requires you to hold a temporary card for 2 years before you can upgrade.

Investment Residency grants you Permanent Residency immediately. 
You skip the 2-year waiting period entirely.

2. “One and Done” Paperwork 
With standard residency, you must file paperwork now, and then file again in two years to upgrade.

With Investment Residency, you file once. 
You receive your 10-year Permanent Residency card and do not need to worry about immigration paperwork again for a decade.

3. Stronger Business & Banking Profile 
Having Permanent Residency immediately signals to banks and partners that you are fully committed to the country.

This often makes opening high-tier business bank accounts and securing credit easier.

The Verdict: If you want to save money, choose Temporary Residency. If you want to save time and secure your permanent status now, choose Investment Residency.

Banking and Property Ownership with Residency

Residency in Paraguay gives you access to the country’s financial system and secure property rights.

Banking Benefits
Open accounts in Paraguayan banks
Build credit and access loans
Make international transfers with a local base

Property Ownership
Buy land, houses, or apartments in your own name
Register property safely with your residency ID
Invest confidently in real estate or agriculture.

Can I Open a Bank Account?
Yes. With your residency card (and ideally your Cédula, Paraguayan ID), you can open bank accounts, apply for credit, and use financial services. Requirements are minimal: passport, residency documents, and proof of local address.
Residency provides both financial flexibility and the legal framework to secure assets in Paraguay.

Family Residency in Paraguay

Residency in Paraguay is available not just for individuals, but also for entire families, making it one of the most family-friendly relocation programs in South America.

Who Can Be Included?
Spouse or registered partner
Children under 18 (or older if financially dependent)
Dependent parents in some cases

Application Process
Each family member submits their own application
Requirements are almost identical to the main applicant (passport, birth certificate, criminal record, local address)
Documents must be apostilled and translated

Why Families Choose Paraguay
Affordable and high-quality private healthcare
International and bilingual schools at reasonable cost
Safe, welcoming communities with family-oriented culture
Lower cost of living compared to Europe or North America

With Paraguay residency, your whole family can enjoy stability, access to services, and the option to build a secure future together.

🛡️Unlock Your Global Mobility: Paraguay’s Investment Residency as Your Ultimate Plan B

In an unpredictable global landscape, a robust “Plan B” is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity for astute investors. Paraguay offers a strategic residency-by-investment pathway, providing an invaluable safety net for you and your assets.

Why Paraguay Stands Out as Your Investment Plan B:

No Physical Stay Required: Your permanent residency remains fully valid, even if your primary operations or life are not full-time in Paraguay. Maintain maximum flexibility without constraints.

0% Tax on Global Income: Optimize your financial strategy with a residency that provides a 0% tax rate on income generated outside Paraguay, enhancing your global financial freedom.

Streamlined & Cost-Efficient Process: Secure your backup residency with minimal bureaucracy and a clear, competitive investment structure, designed for efficiency.

In a world of evolving challenges, Paraguay empowers you with not just legal residency, but a true strategic advantage. It’s the peace of mind knowing you have the ability to diversify, relocate, and secure your future swiftly, whenever circumstances demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

 You must commit to investing at least USD 70,000 in a Paraguayan business (e.g., SA, SRL, or EAS). You’re expected to generate a minimum of five local jobs. The investment can be spread over up to 10 years, so a robust business plan is essential—even if full capital isn’t deposited upfront.
 No. With SUACE investment, you can apply directly for permanent residency without waiting for two years in temporary status.
10–15 business days under the fast-track agreement between SUACE and National Migraciones.
A more realistic average timeline is ~45 days after declaration. Some sources estimate 2–3 months; ID (cédula) issuance may take an additional 45 days.
 Yes. Your spouse, minor children, financially dependent adult children, and dependent parents may be included under your investment residency. They can enjoy the same permanent residency benefits as you, as long as they’re included in your application and their documents are complete. Each family member submits their own documentation.
 Submit your complete application (including authenticated documents and business plan) in person at SUACE in Asunción, under the SUACE investment route.
Permanent residency is valid for 10 years and renewable thereafter. There is no requirement to live in Paraguay full-time, but you should not leave for more than 3 years consecutively .
 You receive a 10-year cédula, access to banking, property ownership, business operation, and MERCOSUR travel privileges.
After maintaining permanent residency for 3 years, you can apply for citizenship—requiring proof of language (Spanish/Guaraní) and basic knowledge of Paraguay’s constitution/history.
No bank deposit is required; compliance is through actual investment and business activity over the 10-year period.
Eligible investments include company formation, business operations, job creation, real estate, services, or agriculture—subject to evaluation by Migraciones.
Your residency card is valid for 10 years, after which it can be renewed. No periodic extensions are required during the validity period.
