Hi, I like to know if after lodging my residency application, I can leave Paraguay for 7 or 8 months and pick it up after returning to Paraguay to live here permanently.
Thanks,
maik

What? Everybody is saying that you can pick up your residency and cedula after it's approved.

YES!

You can submit your residency application (assuming you have all of the necessary documents) and leave the country. It will take about 6 or 7 months to process your application.

Assuming it is approved, you MUST return IN PERSON to apply for your cedula. If you have given someone power of attorney, they can check the progress for you, but YOU must return to finish the process in person.

The cedula will take about another month to be ready. If you have given someone power of attorney, at that point they can pick up your cedula for you, if you like.

Hope this helps.

Assuming one went through the process, how was the 'proof of domicile' requirement as referenced in Law # 978/96 of the Constitution handled? I think it would be easy for customs authorities to verify this matter upon one returning to Paraguay to pick up the Identity card.

In addition, Article 148 of Constitution, #2 indicates Foreigners obtaining Paraguayan nationality if one meets "...a minimum of three years in the national territory (Paraguay)". Relatedly, Article 150 stipulates that "Naturalized Paraguayan nationals may lose their nationality by virtue of a court ruling based on an unqualified absence from the Republic for more than three years..."

Just curious...
