Planning your move
Residency in Paraguay: start with the guide
For questions about settling in Paraguay, start with the Paraguay Residency Guide. It is the place to explore residency, citizenship and living in Paraguay, and to organise the questions that matter to your own move.
Temporary and permanent residency
Paraguay has temporary and permanent residency routes. Applications are handled by the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones, the national migration authority. These routes need to be considered in light of your circumstances; this short page does not set out eligibility criteria or a document checklist. Use the guide to frame your questions and check the official instructions for your application.
Read the Paraguay Residency Guide
Continue to the guide for residency, citizenship and everyday life in Paraguay. Keep your nationality, current location and plans in mind as you read. Information is a starting point for understanding your options, not an individual decision from the migration authority.
