In plain words
Paraguay PR (Paraguayan permanent residence) is one of the most affordable permanent residence programmes in the world. Paraguay offers a relatively simple and inexpensive route to permanent resident status with minimal requirements, which has made the country popular among those looking for a “fallback” jurisdiction in Latin America.
The key advantages are the low cost, an uncomplicated process and no requirement to live in the country permanently to keep the status. Paraguay uses a territorial tax system (foreign income, as a rule, is not taxed), which is of interest to international entrepreneurs. PR can be obtained by evidencing financial solvency and an intention to form ties with the country.
An important nuance concerns the move to citizenship: a Paraguayan passport is possible along this route after several years, but naturalisation requires a genuine connection with the country — actual presence and integration, not just a status on paper. We explain frankly the difference between easily obtaining PR and the more serious route to a passport, and help build a realistic plan.
