Paraguay property due diligence: a field checklist before you buy

Before money moves, reconcile four layers: the seller and registry title, the cadastral record, a georeferenced survey of the land on the ground, and the rules that govern its intended use. Then verify access, liens and restrictions, taxes, utilities, environmental or municipal requirements, and the closing path with an independent Paraguayan lawyer and notary.

02Services

How long does residency in Paraguay take?

There is no honest fixed timeframe. It depends on the route, nationality, document completeness and the migration authority's current workload. Plan B checks the official requirements for your case before quoting a realistic schedule. Plan B coordinates the applicable residency process and cédula for clients who actively invest or build through us, as well as for clients who choose Investor Pass from the outset. We do not accept standalone residency-only or cédula-only mandates without an active Plan B investment or construction project.

03Model

Is Paraguay a good country to invest in?

Paraguay combines macroeconomic stability with a territorial tax system and comparatively accessible land in selected growth corridors. DNIT currently publishes IRP rates of 8%, 9% and 10% for personal-service income, 8% for personal capital income, IRE at 10%, and IDU at 8% for residents and 15% for non-residents. The applicable treatment depends on the taxpayer, income source and structure, so Plan B coordinates case-specific verification with local professionals.

04Projects

Can foreigners buy land in Paraguay?

Yes, generally. Law No. 2532 restricts nationals of neighbouring countries and companies majority-owned by them from owning, co-owning or holding usufruct over rural property within 50 km of Paraguay's land and river borders. A public-interest exception may be granted by executive decree; Law No. 2647 also preserves specifically listed cases, including nationals of neighbouring countries who hold permanent residence in Paraguay. Every purchase still requires title, cadastre, restriction, tax and notarial checks; Plan B coordinates that due diligence.

05Apokalypsis

What is Plan Apokalypsis?

A private, site-specific service for clients who want a resilient residence on remote land in Paraguay. We assess the site, design independent energy, water, communications and security layers, and coordinate the required specialists. Any below-grade space is considered only after geotechnical, groundwater, structural and permitting review.

06Construction

European comfort, engineered for Paraguay

On rural land in Paraguay, architecture comes after the site file. Confirm the title and cadastral identity, municipal land-use and building requirements, access, topography, soil and drainage, water, power and communications, and whether the project needs environmental review. The final permit path depends on the municipality and the project scope.
