Paraguay permanent residence as investor via SUACE (Ley 6984/2022 'De Migraciones'; Constancia de Inversionista Extranjero, Ley 4986/2013; 'Paraguay Investor Pass' since 2026)
Sells the right to live in the country (a “golden visa”), sometimes leading to citizenship later.
At least US$70,000 in a productive investment (industry, trade or services) within two years, plus at least five formal jobs for Paraguayans, gives the investor certificate that leads straight to 10-year permanent residence (Resolution MIC 283/2026, 'Paraguay Investor Pass'). Options without jobs: US$150,000 in tourism, US$200,000 in property used for business, or US$200,000 in financial instruments held two years (t-7fe5e314a0, t-1a94910c1f, t-ff846e9670). Fees excluded.
Notes from the research
A foreigner who obtains the Ministry of Industry and Commerce's foreign-investor certificate through the SUACE single window can apply directly for permanent residence (investor category) under Ley 6984/2022, valid 10 years and renewable. Until April 2026 the certificate required a USD 70,000 investment within two years and 5 formal jobs; Resolución MIC 0283/2026 (branded Paraguay Investor Pass) added financial instruments (USD 200,000, held two years), real estate for economic use (USD 200,000) and tourism (USD 150,000). Launched 1996-11-08: Ley 978/1996 (date as promulgated; no separate in-force date read) admits investors as permanent residents, amounts left to the regulation; Ley 6984/2022 (18 Oct 2022) lets SUACE-certified investors go straight to permanent residence.
