SUACE business investment · from USD 70,000
Establish and capitalise a Paraguayan company through SUACE — the unified one-stop system — and earn your residency by building a real business in the Southern Cone.
The route
SUACE — the Sistema Unificado de Apertura y Cierre de Empresas, Paraguay's Unified System for Opening and Closing Companies — is the one-stop process that makes incorporating in Paraguay genuinely fast. The SUACE route qualifies you for the Investor Pass by establishing and capitalising a Paraguayan company with at least USD 70,000.
This is the operator's route. You end up with an active business, real economic substance on the ground, and a territorial tax footing to build from — the cleanest foundation for anyone who wants to actually do something in the region, not just qualify for a certificate.

Why this route
At USD 70,000 it is the most capital-efficient way to qualify while ending up with something you control.
An operating company is the strongest form of economic presence — useful far beyond the residency itself.
A Paraguayan company sits inside a territorial system — efficient when structured correctly within your wider plan.
SUACE is purpose-built to streamline incorporation, consolidating the steps into a single coordinated process.
A company anchored in Paraguay sits at the centre of the Mercosur bloc — a launchpad, not a cul-de-sac.
The SUACE route leads to the identical residency and citizenship pathway as every other route.
We confirm the SUACE route fits and design the company so it carries real substance.
The Paraguayan company is incorporated through the unified one-stop system.
The company is capitalised to meet the USD 70,000 qualifying threshold and documented.
With the file complete, the MIC issues the Foreign Investor Certificate (CIE) within five business days.
We progress the permanent residency process and your Paraguayan cédula.
You maintain residence and your company, building toward naturalisation eligibility after three years.
The process
The SUACE route turns company formation into your residency engine: build the business properly, capitalise it to threshold, then move through the certificate, residency, and, in time, naturalisation.
SUACE route
SUACE is Paraguay's Unified System for Opening and Closing Companies (Sistema Unificado de Apertura y Cierre de Empresas) — a one-stop process that streamlines company formation. The route involves establishing and capitalising a Paraguayan company through this system.
The SUACE company route requires establishing and capitalising a company with at least USD 70,000.
The route is built for operators who want a genuine, active business with real economic substance. The company should reflect real activity rather than exist only on paper — which is exactly how we structure it.
That depends on your plans. We design the company around legitimate activity that fits both your commercial objectives and the substance the route calls for.
Yes. The SUACE route feeds into the same Investor Pass framework — Foreign Investor Certificate, permanent residency, and eligibility to naturalise after the constitutional residence period.
