South Africans seeking new life in Paraguay by Anna-martVen
Good day. I'm new to this forum. Been doing some research on Paraguay and getting facts from other Saffas would be more valuable, since we know the cultures and lifestyles. Know by now that one needs to be self sufficient when moving to ...
And you don't absolutely need a lawyer to do the process. Do yourself a favour, learn some basic Spanish and save yourself $1600. Paraguayans are great people and very helpful. Do a search for "Gabtar" on this forum. He wrote a post ... Read More

No, the bank does not "keep 750$". The amount required to deposit is not, and has never been, 5000 US dollars. Paraguayan law states that it is "350 jornales" or rather, 350 x the current daily minimum wage in Paraguay. Right ... Read More

Hi all, Can a foreigner take the driving test in Paraguay? What are the formalities to get a driverÂ’s licence in Paraguay? Do you need special or extra documents being an expatriate? How much does it cost? Thank you for participating ...
Hi. I know the thread is old, but just a question..Did you have to take a test to get your driver's license in Mariano Roque Alonso? I have a valid Canadian driver's license, an international driver's license, and my Paraguayan ... Read More
contrato de aquiler by nomadic_gringo
Hey there guys! Has anyone had any luck recently with getting a "contrato de aquiler" that meets the requirements of the "certificado de vida y residencia"? In particular, does the "contratos de alquiler" need to have ...
It would be best to check with your local police station if they'll accept a receipt. (I got mine in Mariano Roque Alonso, because that's where I live). In my experience, Paraguayans have always been friendly and helpful, if you're ... Read More

Not the cédula application. The Vida and residência certificate is required for the cédula application; if your visa and residência certificate has expired, you need a new one for your cédula application. And the latest Vida ... Read More

When I got my first certificate in 2017 (for my residency application), foreigners did not require a rental contract. However, when I needed a new certificate in 2018 (for my cédula), the form had changed, and it is now required. I don't ... Read More

If your home country is part of the Apostille convention, yes, Apostille is easier. However, Canada is not, so I had to have my docs legalised by the Paraguayan embassy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention Read More
Visa on arrival & residency question by LCan
Anyone know if the Visa on Arrival application is the same as the regular tourist visa application (through the embassy)? Does it have the same section where you have to agree to NOT apply for residency?
Yes, because it's valid for the life of my passport, which expires in 2025. It is only good for stays of up to 90 days. I think I would have to leave the country and re-enter to stay longer than 90 days at a time. Read More

I have just returned from Paraguay, and I got the visa on arrival at the airport in Asunción. (I am Canadian). There were no questions asked, no application to fill out, and nothing to sign (no declaration saying that I would not apply for ... Read More

Just one thing, my reply above was regarding the Visa on Arrival in Paraguay. I have no idea about Bolivia's requirements. This is the Paraguay forum; questions about Bolivia's should be asked on that forum. Read More

If you are well prepared, and have a basic knowledge of Spanish, you do NOT need a lawyer or even a "helper" to obtain the necessary documents & to file your application with Migracciones in Paraguay. Migracciones does a basic check ... Read More
