On 18 October 2022, the Paraguayan legislators issued the newly amended Immigration law. Please read all the details here: The new Paraguayan Temporary Residency, Law and Process Details<\/a><\/p>\n

According to the new law waiting only to sign, you must obtain temporary resident status for two years before becoming a permanent resident.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we know, the new law will enter into force<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>from February 2023<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0because of the six months grace period, so you still have time to apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
