🇵🇾 Paraguay visa and residence routes
No income floor, no bank deposit, just a sworn declaration of your economic activity — one of the least demanding residencies anywhere.
At least one route here publishes no income or savings floor at all (Temporary Residence (standard route)). The single documented route is visa-free / low-formality. Naturalisation becomes possible after roughly 5 years of qualifying residence.
How Paraguay compares
It is among the ten cheapest destinations we cover, at roughly €1,000 a month for one person. English will not carry you far in daily life or administration — expect to need the local language. Healthcare is the weakest column in this country's profile; private cover matters more here than elsewhere.
Who these routes are built for
Based on the routes currently included in our database for Paraguay, these options suit anyone wanting a low-formality base without a long application.
They are a poor fit for remote workers, who have no dedicated route here; retirees, since no passive-income route is published.

The financial bar is the main money test for that route — a monthly income floor, or the savings to show where no income floor applies. Figures are for a single applicant; most programmes scale upward for a partner or children.

Routes in our database, in detail
Temporary Residence (standard route)
Since the 2022 law reform there's no fixed minimum income or deposit — you declare your profession or economic activity under oath. 2 years temporary, then permanent; naturalisation about 3 years after that.
