Paraguay · Residencia Permanente SUACE · Investor visa · apply in person
Permanent residence for a foreign natural person who first obtains a Constancia de Inversionista Extranjero from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce through SUACE. Ley 6984/2022, article 46, exempts that investor from temporary residence. Resolution MIC 283/2026 of 21 April 2026 offers four investment modalities. The residence is indefinite and the card is renewed every 10 years.
| Type | Tier / zone | Min amount | USD equivalent | Holding | Returnable | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business | Productive | USD 70,000 | $70,000 | — | Yes | Optional |
| Fund | Financial instruments | USD 200,000 | $200,000 | 2 yr | Yes | Optional |
| Real estate | Real estate | USD 200,000 | $200,000 | — | Yes | Optional |
| Business | Tourism | USD 150,000 | $150,000 | — | Yes | Optional |
The applicant qualifies under one modality. Amounts are in US dollars or the guaraní equivalent at the official rate on the application date, and the investment may already be finished or still in progress if the commitment is documented. Co-investors each meet the minimum on their own. Productive and tourism plans exclude rent, wages, utilities and overhead. Financial instruments and real estate need neither a business plan nor jobs. Real estate must be for rent, appreciation or productive use, and at least 30 percent of the declared total must already have been paid. The Migraciones cash fee for this permanent residence is Gs. 2,926,925, about USD 514 at the Banco Central reference rate of Gs. 5,694.47 per USD on 9 October 2026. The Ministry page says the constancia is issued within five days. Migraciones does not publish a time for the residence itself. Both filings are in person and the constancia requires proof of entry, a criminal record and a sworn statement on the origin of the funds. The ten-year figure is the card renewal, not a schedule for paying the USD 70,000. Resolution 283 does not allow the productive investment to be spread over ten years. The Ministry's constancia page still describes only the productive route and a 24-month execution cap from the abrogated Resolution 1052/2025. That cap is not restated in Resolution 283. Absence of more than three continuous years can cancel the permanent residence unless Migraciones authorized it. Naturalization is a separate court procedure and requires three years of permanent residence counted from the admission resolution. IRP under Ley 6380/2019 taxes Paraguayan-source income on the same scale as ordinary residence: 8/9/10 percent on personal services above the gross threshold, and 8 percent on Paraguayan-source capital income and capital gains.
