The Principle

An official shortcut to permanent residency.

The standard path in Paraguay happens in two stages: a temporary residency of two years, then a conversion to permanentresidency. The Investor Pass changes that: by making an investment recognized by the MIC, you get permanent residency right away.

This isn't a scheme: it's a state program, regulated, designed to attract investors. Our role is to secure it for you, with a clean, documented file that meets Paraguayan requirements.

The concrete advantages

  • Immediate permanent residency, without the 2-year wait.
  • No mandatory trip every year (permanent residency only requires a visit every 3 years).
  • You get ahead on the timeline that eventually leads to the Paraguayan passport.
  • Your capital works : it's a real investment (rent, property value increase), not money thrown away just to get permanent status. The asset stays yours, and it can earn a return.
How to Invest

Four possible investment paths.

The Investor Pass isn't limited to real estate. Depending on your project, several types of investment recognized by the MIC open the door to permanent residency.

Voie immobilière

Real Estate

The most-used path: a property recognized by the MIC, minimum investment 70 000 USD, of which 30% is enough to start.

Instruments financiers éligibles

Financial Instruments

Investment in eligible financial instruments, locked in under the program's conditions.

Projet touristique

Tourism Project

Investment in a tourism-oriented project recognized by the authorities.

Projet entrepreneurial

Entrepreneurial Project

Creating or funding a local productive activity, with an approved business plan.

The exact amounts and conditions vary by path and evolve with regulation. We detail the one that fits your project during the call, with up-to-date figures.

The Real Estate Path, in Detail

Our recommendation.

It's the most chosen path, because your money turns into a tangible asset : a Paraguayan property that you own and that can be rented out.

  • Minimum investment: 70 000 USD in a property recognized by the MIC.
  • 30% of the investment amount is enough to start (the balance can be spread out, including on an off-plan purchase).
  • The property is an investment (rental / value increase), not your personal residence.
  • Gross rental yields observed in Asunción: 6 to 9%, above 10% for short-term rentals.

We have an English-speaking real estate team on the ground (MOA Real Estate) who can source and vet an eligible property for you. You never buy blind.

How It Works

A three-step process.

1

Prepare the Documents

We list, translate, and verify each document (personal and investment-related) before any filing. Nothing is left to chance.

2

Validate the Investment

Your investment (for example, the property) is structured and recognized by the MIC. It's the key that unlocks permanent residency.

3

Apply for Permanent Residency

Filing the permanent residency application, supported at every official appointment in Asunción, through to your card.

Our Support

The Investor Pass package, all inclusive.

You invest, we handle everything else. A written scope, a fixed fee.

The investment amount (for example 70 000 USD for the real estate route) goes into your asset, not into our fees. Apostilles, flights and accommodation remain your responsibility and are quoted to you from our first conversation.

The question we get asked most

"Is the Investor Pass for me?"

Not always. For most profiles, the standard temporary residency remains the simplest and most economical path. The Investor Pass makes full sense if you plan to invest in Paraguay anyway (real estate in particular), if you want permanent status without waiting two years, or if you can't commit to coming back every year. We tell you honestly during the call: we don't sell you the Investor Pass if your situation doesn't justify it.

Investor Pass FAQ

Your questions.

Temporary residency lasts two years before you can move to permanent, and requires a visit every year at first. The Investor Pass grants permanent residency immediately, in exchange for an investment recognized by the MIC, with just one visit every 3 years afterward.

No. The invested amount (for example 70 000 USD in real estate) goes into your asset, which belongs to you. Our advisory fees are separate and fixed (3 000 € per case).

For the real estate path, 30% of the investment amount is enough to start, with the balance able to be spread out, including on an off-plan purchase. We set the schedule with you and the seller.

For the real estate path, the property must remain an investment (rental or value increase), not your personal residence. It's a condition of the program, and we help you choose a compliant property.

Yes. Our English-speaking real estate team on the ground (MOA Real Estate) can source and vet an eligible property for you. Residency and investment are handled by the same team, on the ground.

No. It allows eligible investors to apply directly for permanent residency, but the grant remains subject to the project's compliance, validation of the Constancia de Inversionista, and the decision of the Paraguayan authorities.
