Official government fees in 2026
These are the official amounts charged by the Paraguayan authorities. They are already included in both EasyParaguay packages — you do not pay them again. We show them so you can see what part of the price goes to the State.
| Official item | Cash | Debit card | Credit card (Paraguayan / foreign) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary residency — Law 6984/2022 (Migraciones) | Gs. 2.926.925 | Gs. 2.991.317 | Gs. 3.007.415 / Gs. 3.023.514 |
| Cédula, first issuance for foreigners (Identificaciones) | Gs. 8.500 | — | — |
Migraciones fees are set in daily minimum-wage units (“jornales”): the temporary residency fee is 25 jornales of Gs. 117.077 under the table in force since 1 July 2026 (Resolución DNM N° 478/2026). Card payments cost more because of processing commissions.
Standard or Fast-Track: what changes
| Standard | Fast-Track | |
|---|---|---|
| Total price | USD 1,300 | USD 1,700 |
| Reservation | USD 300 | USD 300 |
| Official fees and translations | Included | Included |
| Trips to Paraguay | 2 | 1 main stay (≈ 5 business days) |
| RUC (if requested) | +1 in-person visit | +1 in-person visit |
| Estimated timeline | ≈ 5–7 months | ≈ 4 months |
| Document review before travel | Included | Included |
The official steps are the same in both packages. Fast-Track condenses the key appointments into one main stay with priority scheduling; Standard spreads them over two trips. Timelines are estimates: the authorities set the actual processing times.
What you budget for on your side
A few costs depend on you and your country, so they are not part of the package price.
- Travel and accommodation in Asunción: flights, lodging and daily expenses during your stay or stays.
- Documents from your home country, for example your birth certificate and criminal record certificate, and their apostille where required. The cost depends on your country.
- Anything outside the package, such as additional family members or later procedures (see below).
Before you travel, the document review tells you which documents you need and how they must be prepared. See the apostille guide and the criminal record guide.
How the package changes your travel budget
The package price is only part of the picture: the number of trips also drives your total.
Standard — two trips
Two separate trips to Asunción for residency and cédula. Count two return journeys and the nights of each stay when you compare with Fast-Track. If you want the RUC, plan one more in-person visit with either package.
Fast-Track — one main stay
The key residency and cédula appointments are grouped into one main stay of about five business days, so one return journey and one block of accommodation.
What to compare
Add the package price to your travel and accommodation from your own city. Depending on where you travel from, fewer trips can offset part of the price difference.
Whichever package you choose, the official fees and translations are already included; only travel, accommodation and home-country documents change with your situation.
How payment works
Reserve online
You pay the USD 300 reservation online. It secures the coordination of your case.
Document review
Your documents are reviewed before you travel. If the review finds your case isn’t viable, the reservation is refunded in full.
Balance paid locally
The rest of the package price is paid locally in Paraguay during the process, according to the EasyParaguay process.
Official steps
The official fees included in your package are handled as part of the steps in Asunción.
How to compare residency prices
The official fees are the same for everyone. What differs between providers — or doing it yourself — is what surrounds them.
- Are the official government fees included in the quoted price, or added later?
- Are translations included?
- How many trips to Paraguay does the process require?
- Is there a document review before you travel, and what happens if your case isn’t viable?
- Is the price fixed at booking, and for how long?
Doing the process on your own avoids service fees, but you handle the requirements, translations, appointments and follow-up in Spanish yourself.
Costs after your residency
Temporary residency lasts up to two years and can be extended once for the same period (Law 6984, Article 46). Later procedures are separate from the package and have their own official fees, for example:
| Later procedure (Migraciones) | Official fee, cash |
|---|---|
| Extension of temporary residency | Gs. 1.287.847 |
| Permanent residency | Gs. 2.926.925 |
| Renewal of the permanent residence card (every 10 years) | Gs. 468.308 |
