How the price calculator works
The calculator works per person: set how many of you are relocating, then give each person a base package ($700 to $5,500) and any of the 20-plus optional add-on services. Mark anyone aged 13 or younger as a child to apply the $200 per-child discount on their residency package. Every choice feeds the total instantly, cleanly split into one-time and recurring costs.
Household-level services (company formation, a container move, bookkeeping and similar) are usually paid once per household, not per person, so the calculator flags them if you select them for more than one person.
Items marked “from” are minimum prices that can rise with the work involved. Services “on request” (such as the Investor Pass, farmland investment or hourly rates) cannot be quoted as a flat figure and are shown separately, not added to the total.
Included: The official residency fees in Paraguay (Migraciones, cédula) are included in the package prices; the apostille in your home country is paid separately. Payment is usually 50% on order and 50% when you receive your Residencia Precaria. All figures are estimates, not a binding cost commitment.

Frequently asked questions about the price calculator
How binding are the prices in the Paraguay cost calculator?
The amounts shown are estimates in US dollars based on our current package and service prices. They are not a binding cost commitment. We prepare the final quote after a short review of your specific situation.
Are Paraguayan government fees included in the prices?
Yes. The official residency fees in Paraguay (Migraciones, cédula) are included in the package prices; the apostille in your home country is paid by you separately. The calculator shows estimates in US dollars based on our package and service prices.
What do one-time and recurring costs mean?
One-time costs are charged once, such as the package, the RUC registration or the driver-license transfer. Recurring costs repeat, such as the tax subscription per year or bookkeeping per month. The calculator separates the two cleanly.
Can I choose add-on services without a base package?
Yes. If you already hold residency or only need individual services, select "No package" and switch on just the add-ons you want.
How does the Paraguay cost calculator handle a family or several people?
It works per person. Add one card per person, give each a package and add-ons, and mark anyone aged 13 or younger as a child to apply the $200 per-child discount on their residency package. Services that are really paid once per household (such as company formation or a container move) are flagged if you pick them for more than one person, so you do not double-count them.
What happens when I click "Request a quote"?
