Getting your residency is not that difficult nor complicated.聽 Go to a Paraguayan Embassy website from a country that speaks a language you are comfortable with.聽 In your case you're writing here in English, so try the Paraguayan embassy websites in Canada or the US.聽 聽These sites are in English (or Spanish) and will lay out all the requirements of applying for residency and getting your cedula.聽 聽There are many documents (birth, marriage certificates, home nation police/criminal records statement, etc..) you must gather together to bring with you to Paraguay.聽 They must be apostilled in your home country.聽 聽Then the web site list things you need to do here in Paraguay as well as where you turn in the paperwork you bring with you.聽 聽Then you wait.聽 聽The process may take from 3 months to a year or longer to finalize processing and the granting of residency (getting the cedula is basically the last step of this process).聽 聽Once you finalize the turning in of documents and the actions you must complete here, you can leave the country until the application is approved and you pick things up.聽 聽As there are so many variables at work in the process, very few people have a "perfect" experience.聽 聽Remember that Paraguay is a third world nation with a very聽 inept government so your experience will likely not match others.聽 聽Plus there have been various posters here saying that getting residency as a citizen of Pakistan is possibly a problem.聽 Not sure how true that is now, but I do know at one time they were "freezing" processing of applications from folks from countries they considered hotbeds (sponsors) of terror.聽 聽But things change daily in terms of the rules here.聽 聽And many times depending on too many circumstances to list, the "rules" are simply overlooked or ignored, so I'd suggest you just go ahead and go for it.聽 Good luck !
