Permanent residency in Paraguay

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

Everybody should renew his cedula every 10 years. Doesn't matter if you‍ are foreigner or a citizen. The difference is that a foreigner should add some extra⁠ police records documents when he wants to renew his expired cedula/ID every 10 years. Basically⁤ it's for life your PR from migration, except that Paraguay could take away your PR⁣ or cedula through the court only if you did some serious crime. Migration gives you⁢ a PR card, but Ministry of Interior through police instance gives you an ID based︀ on your PR card. And that ID you need to renew every 10 years. Same︁ for any other citizen of Paraguay.

Yep, exactly : the document (ID) should be renewed.

Through your︅ stamp in the passport or searching in the data base of your legal migration movement.︆ Nowadays if you leave Paraguay when you already have your PR and cedula (ID), they︇ put a stamp in your passport and inside that stamp they write "CIP" which means︈ "Cedula de Indentidad Paraguaya"/Paraguayan ID.

If you don't have︋ citizenship your passport always should be with you. You can try to travel with ID/cedula,︌ but migration board could always ask you about your passport because in your ID there︍ will be always the nationality information. For renewing you should be in Paraguay, but with︎ magic...maybe could be done 🙂

Travel with ID only within South America, otherwise you must have your︉ passport.

 

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

ID doesn't give you an absolute right to travel within South America.‍ For example, if you have Indian passport and you have an ID from Brazil, then⁠ you can't travel freely with an ID because India has visa relationship with many countries⁤ in South America. So for traveling to Paraguay you need to show your passport (and⁣ you need to get a visa to Paraguay). If you have a Russian passport, then⁢ you can travel with an ID to many countries in South America because Russia had︀ visa suppression agreement with many countries in the region.

As a citizen︀ you don’t need

 

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

As a citizen I‌ know 🙂 Was talking about foreigners with PR.

Paraguay is actually letting foreigners naturalize after 3 years?
I heard the process‌ takes years after you apply for the citizenship

 

[Golden Fleece]

In Paraguay, it is‍ all about who you know -- and who you pay. Consider it concierge service. 😉

 

[SoNewToAllShit]

how difficult is it to get that certificate each year ?

 

[FlipnShip]

Any updates on the vaccine⁠ entry policy?

Are you trying to sell your‍ services? I just wanted to get some information but I guess that isn't free

 

[Golden Fleece]

I am not selling a‍ service. I am just telling you how things work in Paraguay.

Residency is easy. Citizenship⁠ is an entirely different matter. And what you hear, even from lawyers in Paraguay, is⁤ not always the truth. Read my prior posts in this thread. They will enlighten you.⁣

So you spend 7 months⁣ a year for 3 years, then hire a fixer for the citizenship? He gets you⁢ your passport in a few months?

How much would that cost? $10K? $20K?

I use the︀ Paragaguayan cedula to travel. I have an Australian Passport. I didn't need to show my︁ passport when entering Uruguay and Argentina. They asked me in Brazil but I think it's︂ because I couldnt explain my cedula well in Portugese. There is a land border to︃ Brazil from Ciudad del Este in Paraguay that allows you to enter Brazil without them︄ checking your passport.

 

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

Now you can‌ enter the country without vaccine certificate. You just need a negative PCR test.

Never tried to get it every year for the same client. Can't say much about it.⁠

But they always can ask you to show. As I said, in⁣ the agreement between Mercosur Countries there is no such thing like "foreigners with PR can⁢ freely travel between countries". A couple days ago I tried with some Russians to cross︀ the border to the Argentina. One of my client at the border argued that "she︁ has cedula, she doesn't need to show her passport". I tried to explain to her︂ that you have no right to not show your passport. There is no such point︃ in the Mercosur agreement. So is only the will of bureaucrats when they will ask︄ your to show your passport. The Mercosur agreement clearly says that a foreigner can travel︅ between Mercosur countries only if there is a visa suppression agreement between your passport country︆ and the ones you want to cross. But even with the suppression people at the︇ border can ask you an additional requirement to cross just because yes.

The land border︈ in Ciudad del este it's a messy place to have a strict control. Even god︉ damn Chinese and Afghans can cross the border. Nobody cares there. You are mixing the︊ concept of "thanks to" with "in spite of".

Price depends of your nationality. For Russian or British people 25-30$k.

Hey how long would I need to stay in the country for the residence application?
Can we do everything in one day? Paying extra for this is ok.
Can you also recommend a good lawyer for handling investments and immigration together with you?
Do you have contacts with local law enforcement?

After arrest in front of TV cameras followed by months of coverage by worldwide press,‍ Bettina Muller is still in business??

 

[Golden Fleece]

She is very well-connected‍ in a country where applying money to the proper connections means everything.

 

[daxbr]

Absolutely agree considering that she got caught with‍ stacks of passports in her office and walked away clean. Unfortunately it ended very badly⁠ for her foreign clients.

 

[369]

Did she ever got jailed ?
Did she ever got found guilty ?‍
Was there even a case ?
Did she gave an offical explanation ?
Did her⁠ customers had any issues ?

Really, where ?
You mean in the imagination⁢ of news outlets who posted an unconfirmed bias ?
