Based on official Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (DNM) records from January through
November 2024, this briefing analyzes who is applying for Paraguay residency, where
they come from, and what's driving demand.
The data reveals two migration markets in parallel: MERCOSUR neighbors like Brazil
(16,036 applications) and Argentina (3,645) driving massive regional volume, and a
long tail of 95 nationalities — led by Germany (1,010) — pursuing Paraguay for tax
optimization, relocation, and Plan B positioning.
Key findings:
- 27,096 applications filed, 25,167 grants issued, 93% approval rate across 97
nationalities
- MERCOSUR dominates by volume; transcontinental applicants drive diversification
- Western applicants favor temporary residency (97%+ for French and Dutch nationals)
- 51.1% application surge in early 2025 signals accelerating momentum
For relocation consultants, immigration attorneys, financial advisors, and journalists
tracking global mobility trends.
