Eligibility for Pakistani nationals

Paraguay does not exclude Pakistani citizens, and its residency routes are open to most nationalities. Applicants generally show a clean police record, valid identity and travel documents and proof of funds or investment.

Each file is assessed by the National Directorate of Migration, so confirm your own position before you commit.

Routes

Options include an investor route through the SUACE business system, where an applicant sets up or invests in a local business, and other investment categories such as tourism or real estate linked investment.

Rules and thresholds have been changing recently, so confirm which route fits and what it currently requires before you commit.

Timeline

Paraguay has historically been quick to issue residency and an identity document once a file is complete, though times vary. Confirm the current timeline with the authority.

Costs

Costs include the qualifying investment, government and processing charges and local professional support. The figures below are indicative because the framework has changed recently.
