Handle your Paraguayan residency and ID yourself, with professional assistance

Step-by-step guides for the residency and ID process, with pre-validation of your documentation by a licensed Paraguayan lawyer before you buy your plane ticket. You only pay for the help you need.

Avoid rejections: many applications fail due to errors in documentation from the country of origin. We review it for you before you travel.

See the plans

You run the process yourself. We pre-validate the documentation.

It's not just a PDF. It's the procedure written for you to carry out, with the right amount of assistance.

Get started right away

The guides cover the complete procedure under Law 6984/2022: what to bring apostilled and what to get in Asunción, in the most efficient order to obtain your residency and your ID.

Legal pre-validation before you travel

A licensed Paraguayan lawyer reviews your source documentation: sufficiency, validity, Hague apostille or consular legalization, background check certificate, consistency between documents, and the typical errors that trigger observations at Immigration.

Protect what you're going to spend anyway

The process costs from USD 1,400 between flights, lodging, per diem, fees, apostilles, translations and taxes, with or without us. The pre-review exists so that expense isn't wasted on a document that gets rejected.

You only pay for the help you need

Pre-validation is included in all three plans. If at any point you want more support, you add it; if not, you keep going on your own.

Available in five languages

Spanish, Portuguese, English, French and Russian.

Response times, plan by plan

  • Document pre-validation: up to 7 business days with Basic, up to 72 hours with Plus, up to 48 hours with Premium.
  • Email consultations: 2 with Plus, 4 with Premium.
  • 30-minute video call: included with Premium.
  • If you use up your consultations, you can unlock additional ones whenever you need them.

Official process costs (fees, tariffs, and administrative expenses) are not included in this price.

Choose how much assistance you need

All three plans include both guides and pre-validation of your documents. What changes is how much support you get during the process.

The process is going to cost you from USD 1,400 either way

Immigration fees, apostilles, translations, legalizations, background check certificates, taxes, flights, lodging and per diem. That expense exists with or without us, and you pay it.

The question isn't how much the plan costs. It's whether you want to put those 1,400 dollars in motion without a lawyer having reviewed your documentation first.

Fees, apostilles, translations, taxes, flights, lodging and per diem, per person. From the nearest border city and with a minimum ten-day stay, the floor is around that figure.

Basic Plan

For those who will handle the process on their own and want the certainty that their documentation is correct before they travel.

If at any point you'd rather delegate, you don't lose what you paid

The most common fear of someone handling their own residency is spending money and getting nowhere. That's why: if after pre-validating your documents you decide to delegate the entire process to Asulegal, my firm, what you paid for your plan is credited in full toward that service. Up to USD 99 with Basic, USD 149 with Plus, and USD 249 with Premium. Starting on your own doesn't cost you the option to change your mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

The timeline can vary depending on the processing times of each institution and the pace at which you progress through each stage. In practice, many users complete the process in 5 to 20 days.

The guides, checklists and pre-validation are included in all three. What changes is how much support you get and how fast we respond. Basic doesn't include consultations and its pre-validation responds within up to 7 business days. Plus includes 2 email consultations and pre-validation within up to 72 hours. Premium includes 4 consultations, a 30-minute video call, and pre-validation within up to 48 hours.

It depends on your country of origin. Most countries in the Americas and Europe do not require a visa for short stays, and the guide explains how to verify this requirement before traveling.

Yes. If your country is part of the Hague Convention, you will need an apostille. If your documents are not in Spanish, they will require a legalized translation.

Legal residency in Paraguay fully enables you to work, open companies, and obtain a RUC (tax registry).

Our guide is updated periodically. If there are significant changes shortly after your purchase, we will notify you.

No. The guide is designed to help you properly prepare your documentation and understand the process, but final approval depends exclusively on the competent authorities and the particular circumstances of each case.

The methodology and procedure explained in the guide are primarily designed for processing in the city of Asunción. Other offices in the country may have practical differences, internal criteria, or operational variations.

No. The content is for informational and guidance purposes only. Although it is prepared by a lawyer and based on real practical experience, it does not replace personalized legal advice or a comprehensive analysis of particular situations.

Yes. The guide was developed so that anyone can understand the process step by step, even without prior experience with Paraguayan immigration procedures.

Document Pre-validation

The review of your source documentation by a licensed Paraguayan lawyer, before you buy your plane ticket. It checks the sufficiency of each document, its validity, whether the Hague apostille or consular legalization is correct, consistency between documents, and the typical errors that tend to generate observations at the National Immigration Directorate.

Scope: a single submission, up to 10 documents or 30 pages. Timeframe: up to 7 business days with Basic, up to 72 hours with Plus, up to 48 hours with Premium. Valid within 120 days of purchase.

The service includes a single submission of up to 10 documents or a maximum of 30 pages in total.

No. Pre-validation is preventive and advisory in nature. The final decision always depends on the competent authorities and the particular circumstances of each case.

The response time depends on your plan, and is counted from the complete receipt of your documentation: up to 7 business days with Basic, up to 72 business hours with Plus, and up to 48 business hours with Premium.

Pre-validation can be used within 120 days of purchase.

Post-sale support for this service is available exclusively in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

Email Consultations

Consultations let you resolve specific questions about your process by email. The Plus plan includes 2 consultations and Premium includes 4. The Basic plan doesn't include consultations, but you can unlock additional consultations whenever you need them.

Yes. Each consultation must have a maximum of 800 characters to allow for clear and efficient responses.

No. Consultations answer specific questions about the procedure and are advisory in nature. Comprehensive legal advice on your particular situation is a separate service, provided through Asulegal.

Consultations are answered within the same timeframe as your plan's pre-validation: up to 72 business hours with Plus and up to 48 business hours with Premium. The Basic plan does not include email consultations.

Consultations can be used within 120 days of purchase.

You can do it at any time. Having followed the guide will let you understand the procedure better and make more informed decisions. And if you pre-validated your documents and request the delegation within 30 days of the report, what you paid for your plan is credited in full toward Asulegal's delegated service.

To access the credit you need to have used the document pre-validation, which is included in all three plans, and request the delegation within 30 days after the report is delivered. That deadline exists for a practical reason: source documents expire, and delegating a process with expired documentation complicates things rather than making them easier. The credit applies to the complete delegation of the process. It does not apply to one-off assistance with a single procedure, to files already filed and observed, or to follow-up and management of a case already in progress, which are separate services quoted independently.
