Our work starts once you can enter Paraguay
Everything we do happens inside Paraguay, in person. Residency, the cédula, your RUC — each one needs you physically in the country to apply, sign, and collect. So before any of our services mean anything, there's a single requirement underneath all of them: you have to be able to legally enter Paraguay in the first place.
For most nationalities that's automatic. You arrive, you get a visa-free stamp — usually 90 days — and you're in. If that describes you, none of what follows applies, and you're in exactly the right place. Skip to what we actually do.
If you need a visa or invitation letter to get in, we're not your provider
A small number of nationalities can't enter Paraguay on arrival. They need a consular visa arranged in advance — and to issue one, Paraguay's consulates usually require an invitation letter (carta de invitación) from a sponsor inside the country.
That visa-and-invitation stage is a different line of work from ours, and we don't do it. We're a residency firm; our process begins the moment you can set foot in Paraguay, not before. We can't get you the visa, and we won't pretend otherwise by signing you up for a residency plan you have no way to act on yet.
What to do instead
Look for a provider that specifically offers Paraguayan visa support and invitation letters. That's the search to run — not "Paraguay residency." It's a separate service, and the people who do it well do it as their whole job. Once you've secured entry and you can actually come to Paraguay, come back to us. At that point a residency plan is worth building, and we'll be glad to build it with you.
Which nationalities this affects
As of June 2026, the passports that need a consular visa — and usually an invitation letter — to enter Paraguay are:
- Belize
- Fiji
- Guyana
- Papua New Guinea
- Solomon Islands
- Suriname
- Tonga
- Vanuatu
- Venezuela
Treat that as a snapshot, not gospel. Paraguay revises its entry list several times a year — Venezuela was added in January 2026, and others have moved on and off it before. If your nationality is on the list, or you simply aren't sure, the safe move is to confirm with the relevant Paraguayan consulate before you make any plans or pay anyone.
If you hold a second passport that enters Paraguay visa-free, that's the one to travel on — and you're fine. Dual nationality quietly solves this for a lot of people.
If this isn't you
Which, again, is almost everyone. If you can already enter Paraguay, this page was never about you. The Sweet Home Paraguay Planner will tell you exactly what your specific country needs and on what timeline — free, a couple of minutes. And when you're ready to start, the Sweet Home Paraguay App is where you sign up and we take it from there. We'd just rather you knew the one thing we can't do before you counted on us for it.
