The Process:

The vast majority of the “Lightning Process” is completed by our team without your direct presence. Your in-country involvement is minimized to a single, efficient trip of at least 4 business days.

Phase 1: Pre-Arrival Document Preparation & Verification
- Required Documents to Prepare Before Arrival:
  - Valid Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.
  - Original Birth Certificate: Must be the original, long-form document, apostilled in the country where it was issued.
  - Criminal Background Check: An original certificate from your country of current residence (covering at least the last 3-5 years), apostilled in the issuing country. This document must be no more than 2 months old.
  - Marriage/Divorce Certificates (If Applicable): Original certificate(s) for marriage, divorce, or widowhood, apostilled in the issuing country.
- Remote Document Verification: After you prepare your documents, you will submit copies to us for a thorough pre-verification. This step ensures all documents meet Paraguayan requirements before you travel, preventing delays. We will provide detailed guidance on obtaining apostilles and preparing your documents correctly.
Phase 2: Your Efficient In-Country Visit (WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY)
- Day 1 – WEDNESDAY: Power of Attorney & Biometrics: Upon your arrival in Asunción, your first in-person step will be to sign a Power of Attorney (POA) at a local Notary Public. This POA grants our team the authority to complete nearly all subsequent bureaucratic procedures on your behalf, significantly reducing your required physical presence.
- Day 2 – THURSDAY: Behind-the-Scenes Document Processing: While you are free to explore Asunción, our team will be diligently working on your behalf. This day is dedicated to processing your documents, obtaining local certificates (such as Interpol and Police IT clearances), completing translations, and preparing your full residency application package for submission. We handle all coordination with local offices (Interpol, Police IT Department, Notary Public, etc.) and manage all document translations and authentications.
- Day 3 – FRIDAY: Residency Application Submission: Our team will take you through the process to submit your complete residency application and lay the groundwork for the cedula process. Your physical presence is required for this submission.
- Day 4 – SATURDAY: Finalization of Processes and Confirmation of Submission: This day is dedicated to the finalization of all processes and confirming the successful submission of your application.
Phase 3: Remote Processing & Final Delivery
- Post-Departure Processing: After your efficient single visit, our team continues to manage the entire residency and Cedula application process remotely.
- Final Delivery: Once your Temporary Residency Card and your Paraguayan Cédula are issued (typically within approximately 4 months), we will arrange for their secure delivery directly to you. You do not need to return to Paraguay to collect these documents.
