Documents
The exact list depends on your nationality and investment category.
No. Your investment must fit one of the program categories and be certified by the MIC. Only then can you apply for residency with the Immigration Office.
According to published information, applications are individual. Family members can apply for their own residency; we advise you on the best way to do it for your case.
Each residency requires its own minimum investment. If two people want to qualify, the documented investment must cover the minimum for each of them.
The usual route is temporary residency first and permanent residency after two years. With the Investor Pass you get permanent residency directly. Learn more about Residency in Paraguay.
