Applying for Paraguayan Permanent Residency from abroad

wow, thank you

Are you registered with Migrations?

Dear LL,

Buenos dias! Thanks for your post. I am Dr. K. Ayyad from Egypt, and I am interested in PR in Paraguay. When I checked the website of Paraguay embassy in Egypt to know the procedures of getting a tourist visa, I found out they offer the PR too. The documents they require are the same as those on the migraciones website, except for the $5,000 deposit or any other investment options. Is this part of the "PR from Abroad" new system you are talking about in this post? Is the application done by an attorney in Paraguay or by the applicant at Paraguay embassy in his home country?

Here's a link to the embassy website:

yes, of course, thank you

you're welcome

Hello,

I'm interested in applying for the Paraguayan Permanent Residency and opening a bank account there. I'm not really sure where to start. Any advice?

Thanks,

For PR is there a particular agency I should use? Do I need to travel to Paraguay to open a bank account?

Thanks,

VP

Hello, The 5,000.-USD you are talking about, is a requirement to demostrate finance solvence of a PR aplicant.
Once you get finished the PR procedure, The money Will be ready to return to your pocket.

So, The 5,000.-USD is not a part of The costs, it is just deposited as guarantee of solvence.

But, the lawyer budget is a cost that you must consider before take any action.

Hope this helps,

Be very careful with who you deal with in Paraguay , never ever send them money online. I'll share my story soon.

@Samsii There are a lot of con artists in this country, so I don't think there would be a convinient way to get PR so easily. Think about the red tape on opening an account in a bank of Paraguay, which is the main obstacle for application, you'll know this is only the promotion of representation. If you're really interested in immigrate to Paraguay, you'd better contact a legal reprentation in advance and visite this country on your own. Good luck!

@Samsii A few months ago I put some people who wanted to get PR in contact with a translator I know and he passed them onto an immigration lawyer. The result was everything in process long before they left their home country and ID documents ready shortly after they arrived in Paraguay. They spoke to me afterwards to say how pleased they had been with the whole process.

@Simon Paraguay That's pretty cool! Do you mind sharing the Paraguayan lawyer's contact info, so we can contact them?

@ChineduOpara Sure, not a problem. I'll send you a message

@Phoenix_S Hello !! Hope you are doing great !
You have any story to share , if someone tried to scam you in this residency process ?

@Simon Paraguay Please send me a message with details

@Tucanoprod Thank you Tucanoprod !!!

@Samsii

So, first of all, it was not a remote way to get PR from abroad. Merely, it served people who wanted to get their pr but couldn't arrive in Paraguay because of Cvid, so they could submit their documents without losing the validity of the docs. But more or less, since November 2021, everything got back to normal; the applicants must appear personally in Paraguay.

@LoreLaterra hi

@aristidafazendo Yes, but we still don't know if it will be from the beginning of 2023. The law is still in Congress and has not been approved yet.

Good evening!

When the new law on permanent residence comes into force? Is the 180 days grace period taken into account? Is it still possible to apply for permanent residence in Paraguay according to the old procedure? Thank you very much!

While the 180 day grace period was included in drafts, it was left out of the final law.  Migrations is working to put together what they thought they would have 6 months to complete.  I have not seen any forms available.  The process seems simpler for somone who will work for a company in Paraguay or start a business in Paraguay, or has a degree.  The pensioner program has been dropped completely from what I have seen although there may be ways around the lack of a specific program. 

Thanks for the update. My lawyer confirmed that the 6 months is not there. The medical test has also dropped from what I know. The proces is now 2 years stay and then 10 years.

@LoreLaterra yes please I need and would like to get a Paraguayan permanent residency from overseas.
