Prepare your documents
We send you a checklist for your case and check your home-country documents before you travel.
- Checking your home-country documents before you travel: your birth certificate, your criminal record certificate and, if it applies, your marriage certificate, with the right apostille or legalization and a sworn Spanish translation where needed.
- A checklist built for your case, so you know exactly what to gather.
- Getting your local certificates in Asunción, such as the INTERPOL certificate and the Certificado de Antecedentes para Extranjeros from the Policía Nacional.
- Guiding you through the notarized copies Migraciones asks for, covering the full chain of each document.
- Going with you to Migraciones to file your application and sign the sworn statements.
- Following up with the authorities on your behalf until your residency card is issued.
For anyone who wants to live in Paraguay, whatever their nationality.
Temporary residency is where most people start. It is granted by the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones for up to two years, can be extended for the same period, and is the step you need before permanent residency (Ley 6984/2022, Art. 46). Ordinary temporary residency does not require proof of economic solvency, so you do not need to show income to apply. It also suits remote workers: there is no separate digital nomad visa, and nomads start on ordinary temporary residency. Families can apply together, and children have their own category with no solvency requirement.
