The questions, answered.

It depends on your citizenship and current residency. Each country has its own criminal background check format, and Paraguay only accepts specific ones (a Canadian RCMP fingerprint check, for example — a name-based check gets rejected). The Sweet Home Paraguay Planner generates your country-specific checklist with official government links in two minutes, free.

Most people start with the Planner — five questions, a personalized plan in your inbox. If you already know what you want, the Sweet Home Paraguay App is the place to set it up.

No, and don't trust anyone who tells you it does. Paraguay has a territorial tax system — only Paraguay-source income is taxed under the standard regime. Foreign-source income falls outside the tax base. That's a real and significant advantage, but it isn't "$0 tax on everything." We have a long post on the details.

No. A RUC commits you to monthly filing in Paraguay — including months with zero activity — but it does not extend Paraguay's tax jurisdiction over your foreign-source income. The forum claim that it does is wrong.

No. The mailbox is a service address. The cédula and most banking documents need a real residential address — a lease and utility bill in your name. That's a different kind of solution; we set those up for active clients case by case. If it's coming up for you, reach out.

Standard residency typically requires two visits — one to file and biometric capture, one for the cédula pickup, sometimes combined depending on timing. The CIE (residency by investment) path can require just one once your file is complete.

Roughly three days from when the process starts — but only after your cédula is issued. Remote licenses (for clients who've already left Paraguay) take a little longer because of courier shipping.

Yes to both. Bitcoin (Lightning preferred for speed; on-chain works), USDT (ERC20 or TRC20), Monero. Wise, Revolut, credit card, bank transfer also accepted. How you pay is your business.

Yes — that's the bill pay service. Send the amount and the account info, we pay it locally, same business day in most cases. Small per-bill flat fee. Exchange rate referenced to Cambios Chaco.

Temporary residency has absence thresholds — exceeding them risks losing it. Permanent residency is more forgiving but still has limits. Long absences are a real client situation; reach out before it becomes a problem.

Everything lives inside the Sweet Home Paraguay App — Android, iOS, and web, one login. Your mail, your active services with live status, your facturas, your document vault, your payments. No more hunting through WhatsApp threads to figure out where things stand.

Standard residency: family applications are a known path — spouse and children join under the same file with the right documentation. The CIE (residency by investment) is personal — each adult investor's CIE covers them only. The Planner accounts for household size and tells you what each person needs.

We're in Asunción and we're real, but we don't run the kind of waiting-room office model where you book an appointment to be told what you already read on a website. Most clients never need to step into an office. For those who do, we sort it case by case.

We don't sell your data. We don't ask what we don't need to ask. We accept Bitcoin, Monero, cash, and bank transfer because how you pay is your business. Your file is your file.

WhatsApp and email. We respond within 24 hours, usually faster.
