Hi guys,
Hope you are all doing well.

I have 2 citizenships - my first one is Azerbaijan citizenship, second one - US ( got it after naturalization).聽
Once I got US citizenship, i started to have difficulties in my first country (Azerbaijan) - by Azerbaijan law it is prohibited to have second citizenship.

I plan to get Paraguay permanent residence to "hide" my聽 US citizenship.聽 Can anyone answer my questions ?
1) After getting CEDULA card聽 ( based on my Azerbaijan passport) can I enter Paraguay with my Azerbaijan passport + CEDULa and leave Paraguay with a US passport ? ( If yes聽 - please聽 give a link to the information )
2) Can I travel inside MERCOSUR聽 having a CEDULA card聽 only ? ( not showing passports to avoid stamps in them)

Many聽 thanks in advance!

Dear Carlos,
Can you give me a link to information about "PRs traveling inside Mercosur without passport".
I found info that citizens can travel with cedula only, but nothing about PRs ...

1) Can you advise what's requirements for permanent resident in Paraguay? How long does have to be in country to save the PR status?

requirements:
FULL DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF:
1. The applicant must collect and validate the necessary documents and send the scanned copies or the originals to the immigration lawyer

2. The applicant travels to Paraguay:

Medical exam
Interpol and other due diligence processes by the police
Opens bank account for the deposit
Affidavit
Submission of the application at the Immigration Directorate
3. The Immigration Directorate issues the permanent residence permit card in 90 days. The card is valid for ten years.

The immigration lawyer can pick up the residence permit with a Power of Attorney and can send it to the resident with a courier.
The deposit (app 4200 EUR or 4,600 USD) can be transferred or withdrawn from the National Bank.
4. The permanent resident must travel to Paraguay to apply for the ID card.

2) How much money do I need to pay to Paraguay state聽 for applying PR status?聽聽

Only the procedure itself cost about 250 usd (withoth considering the lawyer budget),
but i extremely recommend to hire a immigration lawyer.

3) How much money do I need to pay for lawyer service ?
it depends on the lawyer prestige, i recommend try to hire the better more prestigious.

4) is there a company who take care of all process from A to Z ?
well, you could try to contact to Berkemeyer Office.聽 just type this name on google.

Hope this help you,
best regards

Dear Carlos,
Thanks for info provided.
This forum under moderation. Some links were not approved.

Can you just type here without links ?

- How long do I have to be in Paraguay to save pr status during a year? Or during 3 years?聽
Can shortly write it down? Without a link, cause it will be deleted.

You dont have to stay in Paraguay during the proccess of aquiring the PR or for a determinated amount of days.聽

For Example: You can come to Paraguay to start the proccess and return to USA or stay here if you prefer. You will not be forced to stay here while your PR is prepared and aproved.

Hope this help you,

Carlos, I have read/heard that you have to visit PY at least once in 3 years or you can lose residency.聽 In practical terms, how often is this enforced?聽 What happens if you do lose residency due to this?聽 Is it easy to be reinstated or do you have to go through the whole process again?聽 What is the cost of reinstatement?聽

Also, can a paraguay permanent resident with valid cedula travel to PY on a passport that expires shortly after he enters PY?聽 For example, he or she enters PY on December 1st with a valid passport, but the NON paraguayan passport expires on December 10th.聽 He or she stays until December 31st in PY.聽 Does that make sense?
