Residency

Argentine residency routes:

  • Rentista visa - passive income / pension
  • Investor visa - qualifying investment in an Argentine business
  • Worker visa - employer-sponsored
  • Family routes - spouse, children, parents
  • MERCOSUR fast-track for nationals of member states

Mauritius residency routes:

  • Premium Visa - remote work
  • Occupation Permit - investor / professional / self-employed
  • Residence Permit by property purchase - within approved schemes
  • Family routes

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

SA (Sociedad Anónima) and SRL (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada) are the standard structures. CUIT, IGJ registration, and AFIP tax registration follow.

GBC (Global Business Company) and Domestic Companies are the standard structures. Substance requirements following OECD reforms must be considered; the GBC framework has evolved materially.

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

Residency unlocks personal banking. Forex controls and currency volatility are part of the landscape; multi-jurisdiction structuring is common.

Local banks support resident and corporate accounts; KYC and source-of-funds requirements are real. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions.

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

Family

Family reunification is supported on most routes. Schools (public, private, English, German, French) are widely available in Buenos Aires.

Family inclusion is supported. International schools are available in major regions.

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