Hi did you manage to do it yourself? Im being charged $3100 for express temp residency another 500 for tax id and then in 2 years another 2k for permanent residency. I saw someone else say somewhere its doable yourself? I dont mind paying for a service but if its really simple it feels like its a bit too much

How big is the nomad community in Asuncion?

I paid about the same, the service was good and easy, its a lot of paperwork. could be done by yourself but not sure the cost saving would outweigh the time cost

Okay thanks for your reply ill just have them do it tthen

As a heads up for anyone getting residency or cédula in Paraguay. I would highly NOT recommend using Jerz or “The Jerz way” as a consultant or his legal team.
Me and one other guy used him 14 months ago and have basically had no updates and assume our money and efforts were wasted.

That's ridiculously high. I'd shop around a bit, there's dozens of reputable agents posting on the Facebook groups. I paid $2200 and I realized through the process it was just basically outsourced to a local who does it for $1600. Tax ID shouldn't be more than $100 unless you're doing it remotely, you can do that yourself too.

Ah thanks will have a look, this price was express service where i only need to be 3 days in asuncion and the rest remote

Just about every provider has an express option and even that typically doesn't run more than 2300 including tax ID & residency certificate, kyc & mailing address, drivers license etc. Feel free to DM if you want some contacts.

So I managed to do a bit of A/B testing with Paraguayan residency. I was there with my girlfriend and Paraguayan residency was something I really wanted to do for myself, but my girlfriend was ambivalent about getting it for her. I hired a helper for my residency and she did hers on her own. I got my residency months quicker than she got hers. It also seemed she had more appointments… more buildings and various errands the government was making her go to. But hers was free other than a few hundred dollars of government fees (I don’t remember the exact price).

That's about right from my experience as well, we have a number of people who have been able to get it themselves in a very affordable way but it does require figuring out the process and multiple steps etc.

Thanks for the info, i think for me its easier to just get the agency since i will be traveling around a lot and not staying in asuncion

What Neobanks can be accesed with the paraguayan residency?

I switched my Wise to Paraguay almost a year ago and haven't had any issues, I don't use it as much as I used to though.

I read as well that Wise in 2023 they stopped accepting new accounts from paraguay but if you have an account already you can still change you address to paraguay and keep your account

Same here. No issues

Can you share the consultant/agency you used? How much it cost?

I think Avici also supports Paraguay currently

Could you tell us more about Meru? 🙏

You definitely have to speak Spanish. I completed the temporary residency process myself as a non-native speaker, and I found it pretty easy. Getting the ID card, on the other hand, wasn’t, but I did it myself, too.

If u want to spend time and energy doing the research, go for it.

Ive lived in many countries and gone through many residence applications over the years, and now I always pay a lawyer. The stress, the frustration of contradicting information, the research, the confusion, id rather pay someone who knows the exact ins and outs. Time is money. And there's no price tag for my peace and harmony 🪷

Each to their own. But you defo get what you pay for. And with Paraguay residence, I happily paid, and the whole thing took less than 4 hrs from hotel pick up to hotel drop off

Yeah, been around the block myself, too, in residency terms. As Bee said, it’s pretty subjective, and one person's “easy” can be another person's nightmare.

I admire you for still wanting to do the process yourself. After my 5th residency process I tapped out 😂

DM me if you want to know who I used. It was something like $1500. I'm divided on whether I would recommend them or want to use them again.

Asking for a friend here, looking to go to paraguay, in and out. Get the residency, set up international and crypto friendly banking and get out.

If you know anyone please DM me!

I'm keen to hear about such a service too

moneytopy.com - A list of ways/services to make it easier to bring money in Paraguay from outside.

This is a common problem.
However, today I actually finally succeeded at transferring some significant amount to my Paraguayan bank account via a Swift transfer. It took a lot of patience and PDFs that show the source of the money, but it's not impossible
