Paraguay Residency:
Obtain Your Residency In A Country Where Freedom, Stability & Opportunity Await
Why Paraguay?
Paraguay is one of the most under-utilized jurisdictions for those looking to obtain residency status outside of their home country. Whether you're looking to establish a second residency for personal freedom and financial security or to become future-proof, Paraguay is a leading option globally.
With a pro-business government, a stable economy, and a straightforward residency process, this South American country is attracting the unconventional and adventurous amongst us who understand that waiting is not a strategy but, rather, taking action is.

The Benefits of Having a Second Residency
Having a second residency isn’t just a luxury - it’s a strategic move that puts you in control of your future. In today’s world, relying on a single government to safeguard your freedom, financial security, and mobility is a risk that too many people take without realizing it.
A second residency is a powerful hedge against uncertainty, giving you options, flexibility, and security in ways that most people never even consider.

Here’s why securing a second residency should be a priority for you:
Political & Economic Stability
Governments change, laws change, and financial systems become unstable. A second residency is an insurance policy against government overreach, currency devaluation, and increasing restrictions on your money and lifestyle. If things take a turn for the worse where you are now, you’ll have an exit strategy in place.
Tax Optimization
Many jurisdictions offer significant tax advantages to residents, including low or even zero taxation on foreign income. By obtaining a second residency, you can legally reduce your tax burden and keep more of what you earn.
Freedom of Movement
Having a second residency ensures that no matter what happens in your home country politically, economically, or socially, you have a safe and legal place to go. Whether it's avoiding travel restrictions, bypassing economic instability, or just wanting the ability to move freely between countries, a second residency gives you options.
Business & Investment Opportunities
A second residency can open doors to new markets, better banking options, and business-friendly regulations.
Generational Security
Your second residency isn’t just for you - it can benefit your family for generations. Many residency programs allow you to include your spouse and children, ensuring they also have a secure and stable future.
A Path to Citizenship (If Desired)
A second residency is often the first step toward a second passport. While not everyone is looking for citizenship, obtaining one in the future is a valuable asset that can enhance your global mobility and legal protections. I won’t sugar coat it - the path to becoming a Citizen of Paraguay is very, very tough. At the end of the day, a second residency gives you options - and when it comes to your freedom, your finances, and your future, options are everything.

Apply For Paraguayan Residency
*Once the temporary visa is approved, you must travel to Paraguay again, preferably during the month following the issuance of your temporary residence card, to apply for the cedula. If you cannot travel before this time, consider that the local documents will expire and need to be processed again, which incurs an additional cost of approximately $100. The criminal record certificate may expire, and you must request and apostille a new criminal record certificate.
