Stay compliant
Residency does not look after itself.
A cédula is not a one-time achievement you can file away. Temporary residency has to be [renewed on schedule](/timeline/), permanent residency has to be kept alive, and long stretches outside Paraguay can put either at risk. Most people discover a problem only when they try to renew — or at the border. The retainer is the quiet alternative: we hold the calendar so you never have to think about it.
Compliance Retainer
$45/month
What it covers
- A registered legal address for official correspondence and notices
- Renewal tracking for your cédula and residency — filed before the deadline, never after
- Absence-day monitoring, so time spent abroad never quietly costs you your status
- Annual reminders for your tax filing and RUC obligations, each with a checklist
- A yearly compliance review, and a real person to ask the rest of the year
Cancel any time — month to month, no lock-in.

FAQ
Questions about our Paraguay relocation service
Do I need a lawyer?
For most residency applications, no. The DNM process is administrative, not judicial, and we coordinate everything with certified translators and local contacts. If your situation involves a criminal record, court order, or citizenship litigation, we will tell you plainly and refer you to a licensed Paraguayan attorney.
Can I do all of this myself?
Yes — that is why the guide is free. Thousands of people file solo every year. Our services exist for people who value their time more than the fee, live far from a Paraguayan consulate, or simply want a knowledgeable escort through an unfamiliar bureaucracy.
What do your prices include, and what is extra?
Every bundle price on this page is our service fee — our people, our coordination, our time. Government and third-party fees are separate, and we pass them through at exact cost with receipts: the DNM residency permit and cédula issuance (together about US$500–600), and your home country's own apostille and police-certificate fees. We never mark those up, and the à-la-carte prices work the same way.
What is the difference between pre-arrival and after-arrival services?
Pre-arrival services (apostille, translation, document audit) happen before you board the plane. Arrival-week services require you or a trusted representative to be in Paraguay. Post-cédula services like bank account opening and tax-residency activation happen once your identity document is issued.
How fast is residency?
Faster than most countries, but not instant. After your DNM appointment you receive an interim permit (the residencia precaria) quickly, but the temporary-residency resolution itself takes roughly 90 business days, and the cédula is a further step after that. Home-country document preparation — apostilles and sworn translation — runs about 4–10 weeks depending on apostille speed. Realistic clock-time from starting your documents to cédula-in-hand is several months overall.
Can you speed up citizenship?
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. Article 148 of the Constitution opens naturalization after three years of permanent residency. But because you must first hold temporary residency and then convert it to permanent, that is realistically about five years from your arrival, not three. No service, ours included, can shorten that clock. What we do is make sure that, when you become eligible, your file is complete, your absences documented, and your application ready, so the wait is the only wait.
What is your refund policy?
If we cannot deliver the service you paid for — say the DNM rejects the application due to an error on our side — we refund the service fee in full. Government fees paid to third parties are non-refundable, but we will absorb them if the fault is ours.
