The Process:

This process generally requires three in-person visits to Paraguay. To ensure a smooth process, we will work with you remotely before your first trip.

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: In-Country Visits & Local Coordination
- Visit 1: Residency Application Submission: This initial trip to Asunción is dedicated to formally submitting all your prepared and verified documents for temporary residency at the Migration Department. This includes in-person requirements like digital photo capture and fingerprinting. During this visit, we will guide you through all necessary visits to local offices (Interpol, Police IT Department, Notary Public, etc.) and coordinate all local document translations and authentications required for your application.
- Visit 2: Residency Card Retrieval & Cedula Application: Once your temporary residency is approved (typically after a few months of processing), you’ll make a second trip to Asunción. During this visit, you will:
  - Collect your physical Temporary Residency Card (Carnet de Radicación).
  - Immediately proceed to the Departamento de Identificaciones to submit your application for the Paraguayan Cédula (National ID card), which includes further biometric data capture.
- Visit 3: Cedula Collection: Your final trip will be to collect your completed Paraguayan Cédula from the Departamento de Identificaciones. This document is crucial for daily life in Paraguay.
