Spontaneous, Occasional or Precarious Residence is the authorization that is granted for a period of up to 90 (ninety) days, extendable for the same period in the year, to foreigners who enter Paraguay with the objective of carrying out legal occasional activities.
Temporary Residence is a requirement to later apply for permanent residence and allows foreigners to enter the administrative body of public limited companies. Temporary Residence gives the right to have a Paraguayan ID and allows the registration of the foreigner in the tax registry. The Temporary Residence application gives precarious resident status for the duration of the temporary residence process.
Permanent Residence is the authorization to reside indefinitely in Paraguay. This residence gives the right to have a Paraguayan ID and also allows foreigners to enter the administrative body of public limited companies. To apply for this residence, it is necessary to have a previous Temporary Residence, except in cases of investors.
People who invest at least USD 70,000.00, generating a source of work in Paraguay through an investment vehicle (Paraguayan company) and based on a project, can directly apply for Permanent Investor Residence without applying in prior to Temporary Residence.
