The reason for writing this article is that we are repeatedly contacted by unhappy clients who have decided to arrange temporary or permanent residence in Paraguay on their own or with a local agency but have encountered various problems where their application has been rejected, the agency has not been able to provide them with additional services or has been unable to deal with non-standard situations.
In the following article, I will summarize why our Paraguay residency arrangement service through Liberation Travel is unique compared to other agencies.
1. Checking of documents issued abroad
Our people in Paraguay can check all your documents in advance, and if there is any confusion, consult the Paraguayan immigration staff directly.
We can also deal with specific problems, such as changing a client’s name after obtaining residency, obtaining visas for clients who need them to enter Paraguay, or processing the necessary documents for Ukrainian clients who have suspended their consular services abroad.
For clients who, for various reasons, have difficulty apostilizing documents in their own country, we can apostilize them through an international apostille, which is accepted by the Paraguayan authorities.
2. Express processing of the cedula in one visit together with the application for temporary or permanent residence
We have launched a new service, which we have already tested – in one visit, we can take our clients’ fingerprints together with the application for temporary/permanent residence and then apply for a cedula for them directly. Based on the necessary authorizations, we can collect all issued documents on behalf of our clients and deliver them to them anywhere in the world.
3. Remote driving licence application
Unlike other agencies, we can apply for a Paraguayan driving license remotely for our clients based on the required documents, both for a passenger vehicle and a heavy motorcycle. The next time you visit Paraguay, you must see the local municipality where the license was issued and apply for yearly registration stickers.
4. Application for registration at the tax office remotely
Once issued with a Paraguayan sticker, we can remotely register clients with the Paraguayan Tax Office (SET) and provide them with precise instructions for completing the necessary monthly IVA/ VAT returns. Alternatively, please advise on how they can do this automatically.
Most other agencies charge a monthly flat fee for this service.
5. Request for ‘proof of address’ (‘la vida y residencia’), tax certificate remotely
For all our clients, we can remotely apply for an official “la vida y residencia” document that can be used in banks or crypto exchange offices as a legal “proof of address.” This document can be used, for example, in the KYC process.
Similarly, we can ask for an official tax certificate if the client’s tax authority in their home country requires it.
6. Delivery of all your documents to your home
We can remotely collect and deliver all your documents in Paraguay directly to your home (using DHL or FedEx).
7. Help with buying a SIM card, opening from a bank account
Although this is not an official part of our service, we have helped a number of our clients obtain Paraguayan SIM cards (even remotely) or helped them open a bank account (Banco Familiar, ITAU, or UENO). Since Paraguayan bank accounts are limited (maximum of about $1000 monthly income), if you don’t have a local Paraguayan income, we can open an unlimited, premium SOLO bank account remotely for all our Paraguayan clients at Bank of Georgia, whose cards work great not only in Paraguay but also worldwide. And, of course, it is possible to set up Paraguayan tax residency at the Bank of Georgia.
8. Accepting crypto for all our services
Liberation Travel is a 100% crypto company. As a company, we do not have and do not want a bank account.
We are happy for our clients to pay us with Monero or Bitcoin Lightning for our services and avoid being spied on by banks or the state.
9. Membership in the community of Paraguayan geeks and global opportunists
Our most significant added value compared to other agencies is our large community of hundreds of Paraguayan dudes. We add all our clients to the international English-speaking Signal group of Global Opportunists. In addition to these groups, we can add you as a client to our Asunción on-site group or groups where we handle international health insurance and buy and sell real estate in Asunción. We also have dedicated Signal groups for Georgian premium SOLO account holders, for example, for trusted P2P cryptocurrency trading.
Membership in this community is of incalculable value and is one of the main reasons people choose our service.
10. Years of experience and more than 500 successfully served residents in Paraguay
We help over 500 people worldwide to get residences in Paraguay, including entire families from grandparents to several months old grandchildren. We have dealt with the most extraordinary situations imaginable. And because of that, just about anything can surprise us anymore.
