Permanent Residency lawyer recommendations

Yes.
Spite some changes where made, i will sugest you professionals so you can reach out for honorary and clear out your questions.

Thanks for your reply Paulo, which changes were made?  Any recommendation for professional?  Also which banks will easily accept to open a non-resident account to put the solvency amount?

Uster98, as I understand it, the solvency amount must be deposited in the national bank but since that's the legal requirement the bank accepts deposits on your passport alone.

I also understand that the imported cash must be as flawless as possible with no folds, creases, ink marks, etc.  And $20's only.

A major caveat, I haven't done this yet so I could be wrong and welcome any corrections someone who actually has been through it can offer.

Hello, I'm a Paraguayan attorney with a lot of experience with these processes.

The cash deposit to prove economic solvency is made before a state owned bank (Banco Nacional de Fomento) and to do it is only necessary to submit a notarized copy of your passport plus a notarized copy of your criminal records obtained before the Departamento de Identificaciones from the Paraguayan national police. The cash deposit is only temporary and can be withdrawn once the residence permit is issued (please do not believe any attorney that tells you otherwise).

However, there are other methods to prove economic solvency instead of depositing money. For example by submitting an apostilled copy of your university diploma.

My inbox is open in case any of you have further queries regarding the process to obtain Paraguayan documents.

Best regards.

Good Day Sally Romero

I don`t know if you saw my post in (New members of the Paraguay forum, introduce yourselves here - 2021), it`s a bad situation I find myself in. Since then I have been sorting my stuff out. I was wondering once I pay the amount due to immigration how difficult would it be to get a two year stay in Paraguay and do you think I will need the assistance of a lawyer? I have been here for three years and can easily obtain my police clearance by I am having difficulty obtaining two more documents from my country, the consulate here is having difficulties as well...

I didn't see your post, I'm not in the forum too often. You can reach me via inbox to let me know what happened to you and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.

Hello Alexandre, I have been helped by a manager who is not a lawyer, and in fact it is not necessary. in a month I obtained my permanent residence and I must now travel to process my ID, without which you cannot open a bank account. With the exception of the documents that you must bring from your country, everything else helps the local manager, in particular the issue of local address. Do not hesitate to contact me (I speak poor English) *** / ***. Greetings

I'm about to travel to PY for the final step with cedula and was going to write details of the process but here is a quick note  from "fresh" boots on the ground for those looking for attorney help. I went with Jeronimo Finestra and it couldn't have gone better.

I originally booked a 10 stay as usually recommended but 3 days later he called me to say "We are finished ... come back in 3 months". His assistant (I don't recall his name) was like a busy bumble-bee. He was fast and zoomed through every line. Picked me up 1st day, 2-3 stops - 1 hour and done. 2nd day 2-3 stops - 30 minutes and done. 3rd day - 15 minutes and done. VERY efficient. I know there was drama on this forum involving a past client of his but I speak strictly from my personal experience and I recommend him fully. I have studied this forum extensively and firmly believe that people who have "issues" are generally the cause of those same issues. I did my research, I took full responsibility and  had all my papers in order. Once I got to PY, it was super fast and easy.

Costs are exact as previously stated on this forum. Half up front, half when I get my cedula. Speaks excellent English.

My next step is to figure out best and least expensive way to take PYG back out and convert to EUR or ??? (open to suggestions). I'll post about that once done in a few weeks. If anyone has ideas about that, please reply to my post here:
