Initiating the Paraguay Residency Process
Visa Requirements, Application Steps, and Embassy Details



To initiate the Paraguay residency procedure, it's essential to engage our attorney to facilitate the submission of documentation within Paraguay. This step aims to secure your visa approval. Once the approval is granted, the subsequent phase involves a visit to your nation's Paraguayan embassy to conclude the visa process and settle the associated fee, approximately $150.
Notably, individuals holding EU citizenships are presently exempt from the visa requirement. However, if you originate from countries like the U.S., Canada, New Zealand or Australia, obtaining the visa becomes a prerequisite for commencing the residency journey. The visa acquisition can be carried out either through an embassy visit or by sending your passport along with the applicable fee via mail.
It's crucial to emphasize that the visa must be acquired prior to your travel to Paraguay. While it is feasible to obtain the visa within the country, this option demands approximately one month for processing. Below, you'll find a compilation of Paraguayan embassies situated in the requisite countries.
