Visa on arrival & residency question by LCan
Anyone know if the Visa on Arrival application is the same as the regular tourist visa application (through the embassy)? Does it have the same section where you have to agree to NOT apply for residency?
The visa upon arrival is only granted through the airport, and it is a regular tourist visa, yes, with the difference it only lasts 3 months. If you apply for a visa before arriving the validity is usually for the time your passport is valid. Both ... Read More

Does Paraguay allow Dual Citizenship for newly naturalized citizens? by Placeinthesun
Hi everybody, I am a Canadian Citizen. If I do the legal process of getting a Cedula and then getting citizenship of Paraguay 3 years after the residency, do I have to give up my Canadian Citizenship? What does the law in Paraguay state? Thanks.
Hey, The Constitution says you can't... but there are no laws to enforce it. The most they can do is "strongly suggesting" you to quit the older one. I am a Paraguayan natural, with an italian passport :) PM me if you have ... Read More

Permanent residency & deposit by skysun
Do I need to open $5k deposit account for my permanent residency application if I hold bachelor's degree from EU country university? What bank would open account to deposit $5k without headache? Or the best/quickest option is Banco de Fomento?
Okay people, just to straight things up, if the 5k deposit is for permanent residency application, a bank account is not needed. In that case, any other bank is the same as the next one. I'd say, pick a bank that looks good/has good reference ... Read More

You are correct. Ever since Interfisa became a bank it has been a pain to deal with. Many of my clients have an account with them and due to the no international transfer restriction they cannot move funds here. Very inconvenient and annoying. Read More

You are right. Would you believe that there's such thing as 'paraguayan time'? which refers to paraguayan always taking longer than promised. However, what is happening here is that, after last year's fiasco, migrations might be ... Read More

Employees at Migrations office say that it's ready within 90 days, but I know cases (my client's) that took 6 to 7 months, some of them even a year, so you should take that into account. Regular visits to migration's office after ... Read More

If you hold a Bachelor's degree you wont need to deposit the 5k usd into an account IF you have an invitation from local company to be hired for work. This is rather difficult to get since the migration office looks up at the company's ... Read More
