\u00bfHow long does residency in Paraguay take, what factors influence the process, and what are the best and worst case scenarios that could be expected?<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of processing the residency and identification card has several stages, in many of which the duration time depends on third parties, as is the case with the officials of the institutions, in this case Migrations and the Police.<\/a> For this reason, we cannot give you an exact number of days, but we can give you the estimation that it will be very fast and your documentation will be ready in a very good time, always within the legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth clarifying, before continuing, certain factors that could cause misunderstandings during the process. When we talk about \u2018days\u2019, especially if we refer to government offices, we are talking about \u2018working days\u2019, that is, the 5 days a week that the institutions work. Therefore, if you carry out a procedure on Friday that is estimated to take two days, there is a very high probability that, depending in part on the time of day the procedure was carried out, it will not start until Monday, so it will be ready on Wednesday. Thus, a process estimated in two working days ends up taking 5 actual days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor that can drastically influence the estimated times is the existence of holidays between the days in which you made a procedure. You can easily extend the deadlines from a couple of days to a week or even more, since there are holidays and festivities that take up to half a week, as is the case of Easter, or the holiday of December 8, which, although it is only one day, government institutions usually take up to one or two days around the date since many people are used to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all this clarified, we detail the process in stages:<\/p>\n\n\n
