Residency

Antigua & Barbuda routes:

  • Citizenship by Investment (CBI) via fund contribution or qualifying real-estate investment
  • Standard work permits
  • Family routes including spouse, dependent children and parents under conditions

Paraguay residency routes:

  • Permanent residency via proof of solvency / qualifying income - the standard route
  • Family inclusion on the main application

Physical-presence requirements are relatively low compared to other jurisdictions.

Company setup

IBCs are common in international structures. Reporting and substance frameworks have tightened.

SRL (Limited Liability) and SA (Joint Stock) structures are available; entity setup is well-supported by local partners. Substance and reporting requirements should be confirmed at setup.

Banking

Banking is selective. KYC and source-of-funds documentation are central. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions.

Personal banking for residents is accessible. Bordercase coordinates introductions and documentation prep.

Family

CBI applications can include qualifying dependents under conditions.

Family inclusion on residency applications is supported. Schools (Spanish-language and limited international) are concentrated in Asunción.

Risks

Risks Bordercase watches for:

  • Reputational and revocation risks if information is misrepresented

Risks Bordercase watches for in Paraguay:

  • Real-world banking outside Paraguay may not change because of Paraguayan residency
