FAQ
Good to know before you start.
Are residency, ID card and citizenship the same thing?
No. They are different concepts and procedures. Residency is an immigration status; the ID card (cédula) is an identity document with its own requirements; citizenship or nationality follows separate procedures. We assess which procedure fits your inquiry.
Can I apply for a Paraguayan ID card as a foreigner?
It may be available to certain foreigners who meet the requirements set by the authorities. Whether it applies, and the documents needed, must be verified based on your immigration status and your case.
Do I need to be physically in Paraguay?
It depends on the procedure and the applicable category. Some steps may require physical presence. We will confirm current requirements before starting.
What is the Investor Pass?
It is a name associated with a route for certain investors. Its scope, requirements and validity must be confirmed with the competent institutions before determining whether it applies to a particular case.
How long does the process take?
Timelines depend on the procedure, the documentation and the institutions involved. We do not guarantee timelines or approvals; we explain the estimates available for each case.
Is Raíz Paraguay a government institution?
No. Raíz Paraguay is a private, independent support and document-management service. Decisions and approvals rest exclusively with the competent authorities.
