Process and timeline
How you apply and how long it takes.
- Processing timePublished
- 13–26 weeks
- Can apply without travelingPublished
- No
- How you applyPublished
- Filed in person at the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones (DNM) in Paraguay, personally or via a local attorney; on-site filing and biometrics take about 2-3 business days with professional help (up to about 10 business days without), after which the file is reviewed while the applicant may be elsewhere
- Required in-person stepPublished
- Biometrics in Paraguay (can leave before approval)
- What the processing time measuresPublished
- DNM file review commonly 30-90 days after on-site filing/biometrics; since late 2025 a new home-country confirmation step can extend this unpredictably for some nationalities, consistent with the wider 3-6 month range used here

Risks, limitations, and uncertainty
Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.
- Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
- 2 years temporary residency (Ley 6984/2022), renewable for an equal period, then a route to permanent residence; the temporary-residence filing itself carries no income/savings threshold. Resolution 407/2026 (DNM; effective for filings from 6 July 2026) tightened economic-solvency proof only for the PERMANENT-residence stage (radicacion definitiva), not this temporary filing.
