The majority of the documents required for Permanent Residency are obtained locally by our experts. To finalize your application, Paraguayan regulations require proof of financial solvency. This condition can be met by obtaining your local tax ID (RUC) and declaring income for at least 3 months, or via other official methods defined by the Migraciones portal. Our team then provides personal assistance for the final in-person filing of your application.
