Yes. There is no way to get residency without physically being there for a few days. That's true of all countries.

Your visit needs to be at least 10 days, and we’ll cover your hotel stay!

Between December and February Paraguay is pretty hot, so most people agree the best time to go is between March and November, but a lot of people enjoy Paraguay year-round.

If you're from any of these countries, it will work for you:

✅ Any EU country
✅ Any South American country
✅ USA
✅ Canada
✅ Australia
✅ New Zealand
✅ China
✅Taiwan 

If you are not from any of those countries above, then email us for more information. You probably still can, but there may be some additional steps and costs involved.

You'll apply for it when you're in Paraguay (we take care of the entire process), then you'll be granted residency in about 90 days. You don't have to go back to Paraguay in any particular timeframe to claim it. If you also ordered your cedula, you can either pick it up on your next visit to Paraguay or we can mail it to you. 

No! This is no longer required thanks to a recent law change! Yay!

Yes, we pay for your hotel and set it all up for you.

Email us and let us know your documents' language. If it's a "common"  Western language (like German) we may still be able to translate them. But if we can't, you'll have to get them translated yourself to Spanish by a certified foreign translator. We can help you locate one if you need assistance.

Your birth certificate, a criminal background check, a marriage certificate if you are legally married, and a divorce certificate if you are legally divorced.

We can't guarantee anything if you have that on your criminal record. Unofficially speaking, it will probably be fine if you provide us with a second document showing that the charge was completed/satisfied. We know many people with this exact problem who were granted residency in Paraguay without problems.

Yes. Everyone involved in this program speaks English, including Caleb, Caleb's team, the hosts, hotel staff, drivers, and key attorneys. We provide all translation services at all of your required appointments for your residency. In other words, you don't need to speak any Spanish.

Temporary to start, then you'll get permanent. This means you'll have to renew it in one year. After one additional year, you can get permanent residency if you wish. Temporary and permanent residency are pretty much the same thing, since you have to "renew" permanent residency just like with temporary residency, just not quite as often.

It depends on several factors (which country you're from, which specific documents are late, and so on). Worst case, you may have to reschedule your visit to Paraguay and come at a later date. Best case, you will simply come to Paraguay in October anyway and we'll run you through the entire process. Once your documents are processed, we will send them down to the legal team in Paraguay and they will process your residency (and cedula if you added that service) even after you leave Paraguay, if necessary. We'll work with you either way to ensure you get your residency. You will still get your residency.

We can't control the Paraguayan government, so no. That being said, Paraguay is one of the easiest residencies in the world to get (which is why we recommend it so much) and the Paraguayan government is extremely lenient. Your odds of getting turned down for your residency request are extremely low. Otherwise we wouldn't offer this service. No one we have ever worked with was rejected.

Yes you can, and the attorneys provide that service for an added fee and the process can is difficult (sometimes impossible) if you don't have your cedula (national ID card) which is a separate process and an optional add-on to this program.

No, other than the two dinner events.

People come from all over the world to do this, so no. You cover your own airfare to Asunción, Paraguay, but then we take care of everything else. We will certainly help you with your travel arrangements though.

No, but you can get your cedula as part of the service for an extra fee. You'll work directly with the attorneys for that, and they will give you a $1000 USD discount off the costs of getting it. Remember that cedula is not required to get and maintain residency but it is highly recommended because it is required for things like opening a bank account, renting an apartment, opening a corporation, and so on.

Yes, that's because these "attorneys" (since most of them are not even attorneys) rarely end up providing the residency/Cedula they offer. We have heard many horror stories about people who use these cheap services and we've NEVER heard of anyone having a 100% smooth experience. Most of these clients get nowhere. Legal help in South America is the wild west and you need to be extremely careful. Our attorneys are not the cheapest, but they are the best: we have been using them for our services and for our clients since 2018 and have a 100% success rate with them. We have never had a single problem or complaint about them from anyone. Feel free to use cheaper services if you want... but you do so at your own risk. 

Not anymore. Now, anyone who holds temporary residency can apply for the cedula.

Unfortunately, there are many hard costs for us to implement this program for you, so no.

If you're going to do any business in Paraguay, then probably. Otherwise, since this is not necessarily a business program, you'll have to check with your accountant to answer that question.

Because of the numerous hard costs involved for us in implementing this program for you there are no refunds (unless we are the ones who cancel the service or event) however there is no risk of you missing out on your residency if you have to cancel your trip. You can simply reschedule your trip for a later date and we'll support you over the phone and coordinate with the attorneys remotely.
