Frequently asked questions
What is Paraguay's cedula?
The cedula is Paraguay's national ID card, issued to permanent residents and citizens. For foreign applicants, obtaining the cedula means achieving permanent resident status in Paraguay, which can be done in as little as 60-90 days. It is one of the fastest permanent residency programmes in the world.
Do I need to live in Paraguay after getting the cedula?
Paraguay requires permanent residents to visit the country at least once every 3 years to maintain their status. There is no minimum annual residency requirement for maintaining permanent residence, making it attractive for nomads who want a stable residence status without being tied to one place.
How does Paraguay's territorial tax system work?
Paraguay only taxes income earned from Paraguayan sources. Foreign-sourced income (from international clients, foreign investments, or remote work) is not subject to Paraguayan income tax. This makes Paraguay an attractive territorial-tax residence for nomads with international income. Consult a tax advisor in your home country about exit tax rules.
Can I get a Paraguay passport after the cedula?
Yes. After 3 years of continuous permanent residency in Paraguay, you can apply for Paraguayan citizenship and passport. Paraguay allows dual citizenship. The Paraguayan passport provides visa-free access to approximately 145 countries.
