When do you need to be back in Paraguay?

Temporary residency ends if you spend more than twelve months outside the country. Enter your dates, and the trips you plan, to see your return deadline and when you can apply for permanent residency.

Check your dates

Your dates

Enter the expiration date on your Admisión Temporaria, the day you first left Paraguay, and every trip since. Add trips you plan to see if they fit.

Sample Admisión Temporaria card. VENCE is marked 22 de Junio de 2026.
Find VENCE on your card and enter that date. On this sample it is 22 de Junio de 2026.

Later and planned trips to Paraguay

Add each time you came back and left again, or plan trips with future dates. Leave the last exit date empty if you stay in Paraguay.

Add your dates and select Calculate. You will see when you need to be back and when you can apply for permanent residency.

This is a planning aid, not legal advice.

How the dates work

Two dates decide whether you need another visit.

  1. The expiration date closes the card

    VENCE is the day the card expires. The issue date is two years earlier. The window for permanent residency opens three months before the expiration and closes on that day. You can still apply for one month after that, and a late fee applies. After that month, only a temporary residency renewal is possible, and only until six months after the expiration.

  2. Each exit starts twelve months

    You have to be back by the same calendar day next year. That day still counts. If you left before the card was issued, the first clock starts on the issue date instead.

  3. One visit or two

    If your return deadline falls on or after the day the window opens, you come back for permanent residency itself. If it falls earlier, you need one more visit first. Either way, be back by your return deadline.

What this covers

The calculator only covers the step from temporary to permanent residency.

It checks

  • Whether you are inside the twelve-month rule, now or on the trips you plan
  • Whether you need another visit before you convert
  • When the window for permanent residency opens and closes

It does not

  • Count the days you spent in Paraguay. Immigration looks at consecutive time away, so a visit can be short.
  • Cover permanent residency, where the limit is thirty-six months.
  • Replace legal advice on your own file.
