Paraguay Investor Pass
- Processing time
- 3–6 months
- Physical presence
- You must enter Paraguay to complete the process. There is no heavy annual stay to keep the residence, but the three-year route to citizenship is discretionary and expects genuine ties and real presence, not a purely paper link.
- Family
- Spouse and dependent children, and dependent parents in some cases, included with the main applicant.
Investment routes
Business investment
From $70 000
- Capital
- Non-refundable
Productive investment via the SUACE one-stop business window: a business plan committing at least 70,000 USD into a new Paraguayan company over ten years, with local job creation (about five jobs). This is an active, entrepreneurial route, not a passive deposit. Filing, company and card fees add roughly 14,000 USD.
Real estate
From $200 000
- Capital
- Non-refundable
Real estate investment of at least 200,000 USD — the simplest passive route for those who prefer property to running a business.
Investment fund
From $200 000
- Holding period
- 2 years
- Capital
- Refundable
Investment of at least 200,000 USD in qualifying financial instruments, held for two years. Redeemable at the end of the term, subject to market value.
Business investment
From $150 000
- Capital
- Non-refundable
Investment of at least 150,000 USD in the tourism sector — a dedicated track under the Investor Pass for tourism ventures.
Limits and drawbacks
- The 70,000 USD route is not passive: it requires a genuine SUACE business plan and local job creation, and the amount is committed over ten years — treat it as starting a company, not parking money.
- The Investor Pass is brand new (April 2026), so the process and its interpretation are still settling; confirm current requirements with Migraciones before committing.
- Citizenship after three years is real but discretionary: it expects genuine residence and ties and some Spanish or Guaraní, and it is not granted automatically on the calendar.
- Paraguay is landlocked and low-profile; judge it as a low-tax base and a fast citizenship route, not as a lifestyle or mobility upgrade on day one.
