Paraguay offers permanent residency to investors and entrepreneurs, a route open to Indian nationals through the SUACE business channel and a newer investor programme.
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.
Indian nationals are eligible and face no nationality bar. Eligibility turns on documenting identity, a clean Interpol background check and a qualifying investment or business plan filed through the SUACE office and the migration authority.
Applicants receive a residence card and a national identity document known as a cedula. Confirm the current eligibility rules with the official authority.
The SUACE business route is reported to grant direct permanent residency on a commitment to invest 70,000 United States dollars in the Paraguayan economy over ten years, backed by a business plan that is reported to require creating at least five formal jobs.
A newer Investor Pass, reported to have launched on 17 April 2026, offers direct permanent residency for larger amounts reported at 150,000 United States dollars in tourism or 200,000 United States dollars in real estate or the stock market. Confirm the current routes and minimums with the official authority.
Processing is reported to take roughly three to six months depending on the route, after which a permanent residence card and cedula are issued. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
Beyond the qualifying investment, applicants meet government, documentation and translation costs, and the SUACE route spreads the investment commitment over ten years rather than requiring it on day one. Confirm the current government fees with the official authority.
