Permanent residency in Paraguay

[HelloMyDroogs]

If what you say about︈ the banking is true that's amazing.
I will look into it further.
I haven't heard︉ people in the crypto community here mention it. The recent closure of he Dukascopy cards︊ has messed up a lot of paraguayan crypto investigation es as that was the main︋ overseas bank they had access to.

Those people are tourist. They only have PR of Paraguay and a foreign passport. As I‍ know they just applied online for the account. In a couple of days they received⁠ their debit card. I asked right now which card they obtained and they say from⁤ here PicPay Card: seu Cartão de Crédito sem Anuidade | PicPay
You are right, not⁣ a bank, but you can send or recieve money from a bank account. It's some⁢ kind of digital banking. Still didn't tried for myself, don't need it right now, but︀ I will create one soon.

I dealt with him personally⁠ as he came highly recommended but has not delivered what he was paid for. Subsequently,⁤ I have met other clients of his that were taken for serious amounts of money⁣ without delivering citizenship as promised. There are also numerous posts on facebook where his clients⁢ confronted him for his misdeeds in a very direct manner.

Do you expected that banks︈ just open an account with international debit card just as if you were ordering food︉ with no questions about your money?
Debit cards are supposed to work within the maestro︊ network unless you want a visa infinite or similar which are reserved for premium accounts.︋
What kind of regulation do you expected to find?
You’re right, USA is putting some︌ nice pressure, hope it worth it.. at least until now, it worth it.

And what would︀ one do with that card? It doesn't provide a full-fledged personal brazilian bank account, but︁ a limited one.

How to send money to the card?
And why would one send︂ money to the card from his personal account in *other country*, if one could simply︃ spend that money directly from his card of other country?

 

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

As I know people in Brazil pay everything with that card. Also⁣ it's the main way to transfer money to others. You can send money from a⁢ bank account or through services like Loterica (where you just give them the needed cash︀ for the deposit). The only thing that this card doesn't allow you to make international︁ transfer of money. But for many at least having this within the country it's a︂ relief.

Any updates on Paraguay lifting it`s entrance policy in terms of C-19 vaccines, or will‌ it not be lifted until the EUssr is fully in place?

 

[cityahbeng]

Click on Aleksander profile‌ ........ .........and then click on his name!!!...........that is how I found his email!!!

I am‍ waiting for Congress to deal with this matter. The chamber of deputies already signed in⁠ favor of lifting all entrances policies. Now it's up for the Congress to approve or⁤ not.

What international banks are available for me if I have a Russian passport + Paraguay‌ residency + Cyprus tax residency and Cyprus utility bill. This is quite a weird combination‍ tbh... What am I supposed to tell banks where do I live? Suppose I say⁠ Paraguay, what proof of address can I give them? Or am I missing something? What⁤ is the value of Paraguay residency for a Russian trying to open some decent bank⁣ accounts?
Will interactivebrokers switch my residency to Paraguay if I upload them my residency permit?⁢ I bet they will want a utility bill

 

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

You can‌ give them "Vida y residencia" certificate from local Police (аналогия "прописки"). For utility bill like‍ water or electricity you need to buy a real estate (you can find a cheap⁠ territory for those purposes).

@Aleksander Paragvaets

perhaps you know how to obtain a paraguyain driving license **in the simplest‌ and fast way**? It could be for a motocycle too. I just need it as‍ a document for some offshore dirty things that we're doing on thins forum (ahaha-ahaha);

....and not for driving itself. 🙁

I don't have my own address in Paraguay, and don't plan⁠ to buy anything, but I am in the country now.

---

Generally speaking, I want⁤ to obtain some document, a tie, to Paraguay, but buying a property or investing aren't⁣ for me right now.

 

[jjrapy]

Don’t try in “big cities”, go to⁤ the countryside

 

[Golden Fleece]

If you have permanent residency, your︀ attorney or fixer can help you obtain a driver's license. I am not sure whether︁ you can legally obtain a driver's license without having a residency, but the Paraguayan bureaucracy︂ is fairly corrupt so it might be possible with the right connections and at the︃ right price.

If you want a banking residency, if you are a permanent resident you︄ can pay a local to rent a mailing address at their home located in a︅ residential area. It will take some footwork.

 

[JamesDonkey]

Oh, yeah, I've forgotten.... I'm a permanent resident of Paraguay..... right.... if not you I'd‌ never have remembered it.

I was considering getting the Cedula this year (or next).
My passport country does not‌ allow second citizenship.
I would like to have it as a backup in case my‍ passport fails.
Is the cedula still valid for life?
I read that it must now⁠ be renewed every 10 years.

 

[smartchoice]

It's hard to predict⁤ what'll happen in 3-5-10 years, rules can change anytime, but having a backup plan is⁣ always a good idea.

 

[Aleksander Paragvaets]

Haha, well, do you have PR of Paraguay? I can get you a⁠ legal one without problem.
It will cost 250$.

You can't. The only option of getting driver︁ licence without PR is to buy a false one.

Yep, it must, but︃ for renewing you need to collect just documents like local police record and certificates. You︄ don't have to show nothing again from your country except your passport.

Neither Paraguay. Only between︆ Spain and Paraguay exist agreement about second citizenship. Nevertheless, this doesn't stop me from having︇ 3 citizenships (although two passports have already expired). Just don't show to the other side︈ that you have a second passport 🙂 Paraguay for now doesn't control strictly. Even my father︉ has two citizenships way before I got mine.

Basically it's valid for life if you don't get︋ persecuted for some crime and if you are not absent more than 3 years in︌ Paraguay (but to cancel your PR they have to go to court, which nobody will︍ do for no-name person for now).

You need to have not only connections in some municipality, but️ also in OPACI (intermunicipal cooperation organization) with headquarters in Asunción. Which means even if you‌ get a friend in some shitty municipality of some shitcity, they have to send your‍ documents for a driver licence to OPACI. And OPACI have to send an answer to⁠ the submission from the traffic department of the city. If OPACI give the go-ahead, then⁤ the municipality gives you a driver licence. If you don't send them, then it's an⁣ illegal driver licence, which people do. No mayor will risk his position for some driver⁢ licence for some dude, which cost a penny for the assumed risks. And directors of︀ the traffic department within the city will think twice of issuing you a driver licence︁ without your PR. Not worth the risk except falsifying the document, which means you need︂ to assume extra risks for having a false DL.

 

[Marie Manila]

Thanks for your reply @Aleksander Paragvaets , but I do not get it.

First you‌ wrote the Residency has to be renewed every 10 years.

Later you say it is valid for lifetime.

Do you mean the residency itself stays valid but the document has to be︁ renewed every 10 years?

How do they check, if I are absent for more than︂ 3 years?

Do I have to renew it in Paraguay and do I really have︃ to show my passport again? I want to have it as a backup, if my︄ passport fails.
