Short answer: Paraguay residence routes commonly use qualifying bank-deposit proof, starting with temporary residence then permanent residence when conditions are met. Nominal capital thresholds are lower than many EU or US investment programmes, but applicants must complete local documents and procedures.

Must I live in Paraguay long term?
Maintenance rules differ for temporary and permanent stages; near-zero entry can affect renewals or later naturalisation.
How does it compare with Panama and Argentina?
Panama’s qualified-investor path has higher floors but a clear PR structure; Argentina’s residence rules have shifted in recent years.
Can family join?
Spouse and children can usually accompany at added cost and paperwork.
