A lawyer on call for local matters
Official tax residency certificate (constancia de residencia fiscal) as proof towards your country of origin
We come with you to open an account at a Paraguayan bank or cooperative, with a lawyer and an interpreter present. Your cédula is a prerequisite. What we owe is the accompaniment, not the account itself: the institution decides by its own criteria. Its own charges are not included, and at a cooperative that means the joining fee and share capital on top of account maintenance.

For visa-required nationalities: the entry visa and the residency process handled together as one coordinated track, quoted per case. The invitation letter is booked separately

Despachante, the Menaje customs declaration, port handling and scheduling in Paraguay. Applies whichever forwarder you ship with, including one you booked yourself. Sea freight is not included; that is a separate contract with the forwarder.

How the price calculator works
The calculator works per person: set how many of you are relocating, then give each person a base package ($600 to $2,400) 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, trademark registration 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 Standard and Premium package prices; on Light you pay them directly. The apostille (or consular legalization) 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 once you have told us which services you need.
Are Paraguayan government fees included in the prices?
In the Standard and Premium packages, yes: the official residency fees in Paraguay (Migraciones, cédula) are included. On the Light package you pay them directly. The apostille (or consular legalization) in your home country is always 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 in the Paraguay cost calculator?
One-time costs are charged once, such as the package, the RUC registration or the driver-license transfer. Recurring costs repeat every year, such as the basic tax subscription or the bookkeeping subscription for an active company. The calculator separates the two cleanly.
Can I book add-on services in the Paraguay cost calculator without a residency 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" in the Paraguay cost calculator?
Your selection is carried over into the contact form. There you can add to it and send it. We get back to you with a concrete, no-obligation quote.
