Filipino nationals can generally pursue permanent residency in Paraguay. The framework was recently updated, so confirm the current route and figures with the authority.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Paraguay does not restrict residency by nationality in a way that excludes Filipino nationals, so they can generally apply. Applicants must usually be at least 18 years of age, hold a clean criminal record, pass Interpol checks and show the lawful origin of their funds.
Requirements and document lists change, so confirm the current eligibility conditions with the Direccion General de Migraciones.
Paraguay has offered routes through business investment and through a unified system administered with the support of the business facilitation service. A recent update introduced an investor pathway that can lead to permanent residency without a temporary stage.
Qualifying investment is generally directed to tangible assets rather than running costs. Confirm which routes are open and the exact conditions with the authority.
Processing time depends on the route and the completeness of your file. Confirm the current expected timeline with the Direccion General de Migraciones, since published estimates change.
Costs include the qualifying investment, government fees and professional fees. The figures below are indicative only. Verify each with the official authority before acting.
Permanent residency lets you live in Paraguay and, after the period set in law, consider naturalisation under the Paraguayan constitution. Stay requirements to keep residency active are set by the authority, so confirm them before relying on any figure.
