Turkish nationals can apply for Paraguay residency. This page explains the available routes, the indicative costs and where to confirm the binding rules.
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 applicants by nationality in the way some programmes do, so Turkish nationals can apply on the standard basis. Applicants must show a clean criminal record and the lawful origin of any funds.
Rules changed under Law 6984 of 2022 and again under newer resolutions, so confirm the current eligibility detail with the National Directorate of Migration before you act.
There is a general temporary residence route that does not require a fixed investment, and an investor route. Under the investor route through the SUACE platform, an applicant commits to invest in a local venture and meet job creation conditions.
Paraguay has also introduced an Investor Pass aimed at granting permanent residence to qualifying investors. Thresholds vary by project type. Verify which route fits and its current minimum with the official authority.
Temporary residence is granted first under the general route, with permanent residence and later naturalisation available over time subject to the law. Confirm the current expected timeline with the authority.
The investor route through SUACE has involved a commitment to invest at least US$70,000 in a local business alongside job creation. Other routes carry different conditions. See the table for an indicative picture and verify every figure with the authority.
Paraguay residency grants the right to live in the country and, over time and subject to the law, a path toward naturalisation. Paraguay applies a territorial approach to tax, though every personal situation differs and should be checked with a professional.
