LIP: A Premium Private Hotel and Residency Service for Our Global Clients
Paraguay is currently experiencing a period of unprecedented economic expansion. As the most stable economy in South America, it has become a magnet for international investors, digital nomads, and retirees. At Living in Paraguay (LIP), we are seeing a record-breaking number of requests for permanent residency and the new electronic Paraguayan Identity Card (Cédula).
To meet this demand, we have perfected our “One-Trip Method.” But we went a step further: to ensure our clients’ comfort, we have opened the LIP Private Hotel in the heart of Asunción.
The LIP “One-Trip” Revolution
Gone are the days of multiple flights and endless bureaucracy. With LIP, you only need to fly to Paraguay once. Our streamlined process allows you to submit your application and capture your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) within the first five days of your arrival.
Required Documentation
To ensure a smooth process, you only need to bring the following apostilled documents:
- Birth Certificate.
- Clean Criminal Record (from your country of origin and residence).
- Marriage Certificate or Divorce Decree (if applicable).
- Certificate of Good Standing/Free State Document.
Note: LIP handles the official translations into Spanish and any additional legalizations required by the Paraguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Luxury and Comfort: The LIP Private Hotel in Asunción
We know that a residency process can be stressful. That is why LIP has invested in a private hotel located in the most prestigious residential area of Asunción.
Why stay with us?
- Proximity: The hotel is a short walk from the key public offices, including the Immigration Office and the Police Department.
- Efficiency: Being close to the offices means we can resolve any paperwork issues in minutes, not hours.
- Relaxation: After your appointments, you can relax in a refined, quiet environment designed specifically for our international clientele.
- Affordability: We offer exclusive, competitive rates for LIP clients that you won’t find in standard commercial hotels.
Our consultants meet you at the airport, escort you to the hotel, and accompany you to every single appointment. You are never alone in the process.
Why Paraguay? A Tax Haven for Professionals
Paraguay offers one of the most competitive tax systems in the world, often referred to as the “10-10-10” system:
- 10% Value Added Tax (VAT).
- 10% Corporate Tax.
- 10% Personal Income Tax.
For professionals, there is no need for complex re-validation of degrees to work. For retirees, Paraguay is a dream come true: your foreign pension is completely tax-free. When you combine this with a mild climate, friendly locals, and a low cost of living, it’s clear why Asunción is the place to be in 2026.
Safety and European Guarantee
Living in Paraguay is the only European-certified company specializing in Paraguayan residency. We are registered in Estonia—the most digitalized country in the EU—and all our contracts are protected by European legal standards. You can even sign your contract and receive preliminary advice online before you fly.
Once your permanent residence and electronic ID are issued (usually within four months), we send them to your doorstep anywhere in the world via secure DHL shipping.
