LocationWhy Paraguay

Why Move to Paraguay.

Low tax, low cost of living, politically stable, and a path to a passport without a full-time residency requirement. Paraguay is one of the few countries left in the world that still welcomes outsiders the way it welcomes its own. Asunción moves at a human pace. The land is wide, the people are warm, and the door is genuinely open. For families looking for a Plan B, founders looking for breathing room, or retirees looking for a softer life, Paraguay is quietly becoming the answer.

Services

What's included. Full legal representation and complete coordination of your Paraguayan permanent residency. Once approved, you receive:

Paraguayan ID (Cédula)

Once your residency is approved, the Paraguayan civil registry issues your official national ID. We guide you through the appointment and represent you throughout.

Tax Registration (RUC, if required)

Your lawyer advises whether a Paraguayan tax ID applies to your situation and supports the registration. We confirm what is relevant to you first.

Police Clearance

A local police record is one of the residency requirements. We tell you exactly what is needed and coordinate the appointment in Asunción as part of your case.

Licensed Legal Representation

A licensed Paraguayan lawyer represents you across the entire application, at no extra cost. This is the core of what Itaju provides.

Paperwork & Coordination

Your lawyer prepares and files your application, and we coordinate every appointment, signature and step in Asunción. You sign, we manage the process.

Both Trips, Fully Handled

You come twice, first to file with immigration, then to finish at the civil registry once your residency is approved. We arrange every appointment, every signature, every stamp, and meet you at each.

AboutWho we are

Built by someone who has been through it.

Itaju Residency was founded by Carl, who went through the process himself before setting up his business in Asunción. He understood the importance of customer service while learning the system inside out, from tax registration to business setup structures for foreign clients.

Most clients are kept in the dark and pushed through different departments, which can take months when it is not done properly the first time. The language barrier adds another layer for foreigners who do not understand the local system. The answer was straightforward. Two trips, both run by us, and a team that answers when you message. That is the whole offer, and it is the reason our clients keep referring us.

Testimonials

Trusted by families and founders worldwide.

“Germany kept getting more expensive and more complicated every year. I wanted somewhere I could land if things got worse. Itaju Residency was clear about what was included and what wasn't, which is more than I can say for the other firms I spoke to. The trip itself was honestly the easy part.”

MarkusSoftware engineer, based in Munich

“We're a family of four so the decision wasn't easy. I had a lot of questions and the Itaju team answered every one without making us feel rushed. The kids were with us the whole time in Asunción and it actually felt manageable. We're settling in now.”

CamilaFamily of four, relocated from United States

“I wanted a serious second jurisdiction outside South Africa and Paraguay kept coming up the more I researched. What I didn't expect was for the process to be this straightforward. Itaju understood why someone like me wants a base in a country that respects financial privacy, and they didn't make a thing of it.”
