## What permanent residency unlocks

Permanent residency is the operational gateway to the full Paraguayan stack:
- Cédula paraguaya (national ID)
- RUC (tax registration with SET)
- Local bank accounts
- Business formation and operation
- Mercosur residency rights
- Path to Paraguayan citizenship after 3 years

Without residency, foreigners can buy real estate on a passport but everything downstream is operationally gated.
