Vietnamese nationals can pursue residency in Paraguay, though the rules changed in a 2025 migration reform. This page sets out the current routes, timeline and indicative costs.
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 residency routes are generally open to foreign nationals, which includes Vietnamese citizens, subject to documentation and background checks. We did not find a rule that bars Vietnamese nationals. Confirm your position with the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones.
Applicants are expected to provide identity and police clearance documents, often legalised or apostilled, and proof of the qualifying activity or investment.
The route picture changed in 2025. Reporting indicates the older deposit based route to permanent residence was removed and replaced by investment based options, including an investor pathway with tiers tied to tourism, capital markets or real estate, and a business investment route.
Because these rules are recent, treat any figure you read elsewhere with care. Confirm the current routes, thresholds and conditions directly with the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones.
Processing runs through the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones. Some investment routes are described as offering direct permanent residence rather than a temporary step first. Confirm the current sequence and timing with the authority.
Given the 2025 reform, we list routes rather than fixed figures and mark amounts to confirm. Verify every current amount with the official authority before acting.

|---|---|---|
| Investor pathway | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Tiers reported for tourism, capital markets or real estate |
| Business investment route | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Investment into a new or existing business |
| Older deposit route | No longer available | Reported as ended by the 2025 migration reform |
