Paraguayan Citizenship by Naturalisation
Open
Last verified July 2026
Open. Naturalisation is available three years after the permanent-residency resolution, subject to a genuine-ties test.
We run the whole path to a Paraguayan passport for you: the residency, the file, the arraigo evidence and the Supreme Court examination. The first step is permanent residency, immediate through the Investor Pass from USD 70,000 in a productive company or USD 200,000 in real estate or securities. Naturalisation follows three years later.
