What it governs, in 4 lines
- Productive: from USD 70,000 and at least 5 formal jobs (Official source · MIC press release, 22-04-2026).
- Financial instruments: from USD 200,000, no jobs, held for at least 2 years (Official source · MIC press release, 22-04-2026).
- Real estate: from USD 200,000 in a property destined for an economic activity (Official source · MIC press release, 22-04-2026).
- Tourism: from USD 150,000 (Official source · MIC press release, 22-04-2026).
The investment can be in US dollars or guaraníes, in progress or completed (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026). The full table by route is in the Investor Pass guide.
Who it applies to and who it does not
It applies to a foreigner who invests under one of the 4 routes and wants permanent residency without going through temporary residency (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026). The Migration Law exempts from prior temporary residency anyone who proves an investment under Law 4986/2013 on SUACE (Law in force · Law 6984/2022, art. 46 · as of 2 Oct 2026); the link between that exception and the Investor Pass remains Under review until the text of Res. MIC 283/2026 can be read.
It does not apply, on its own:
- To someone who wants to reside without investing. That is what the ordinary DNM route is for, with proof of means by category (Under review). We explain it in /en/residencia-y-migracion.
- To the purchase of a home for your own use. The real estate route requires the property to be destined for an economic activity (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026).
- To a spouse and children automatically: we found no official source on how the resolution treats them (Under review).
From 1052/2025 to 283/2026: what changed
Resolution 1052/2025, of 11 September 2025, set an investor certificate procedure through SUACE: USD 70,000 per applicant and 5 jobs (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026). Resolution 283/2026 repealed it (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026) and added routes with no job requirement (Editorial reading).
| Topic | Res. MIC 1052/2025 (repealed) | Res. MIC 283/2026 (in force) |
|---|---|---|
| Routes | A single scheme, investment with jobs (Editorial reading) | 4: productive, financial, real estate, tourism (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026) |
| Minimum amount | USD 70,000 per applicant (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | USD 70,000 / 150,000 / 200,000 / 200,000 depending on the route (Official source · MIC press release, 22-04-2026) |
| Jobs | ≥ 5 professionals or technicians (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | ≥ 5 formal jobs in the productive route; financial and real estate routes carry no job requirement (Official source · MIC press release, 22-04-2026); tourism: not stated in an official source (Under review) |
| Time to comply | 24 months (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | Not verified (Under review · article pending cross-check) |
| Holding period | Not verified (Under review) | ≥ 2 years in the financial route (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026); the rest not verified (Under review) |
| Time to issue the certificate | ≤ 5 business days (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | ≤ 5 business days according to press citing the rule (Under review) |
| Business plan | Sworn statement (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | Not verified (Under review · article pending cross-check) |
| Translation of MERCOSUR documents | Exempt (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | Not verified (Under review · article pending cross-check) |
| Residency | Direct permanent (Official source · MIC, Res. 1052/2025 · as of 28 Sep 2026) | Direct permanent (Official source · MIC · as of 28 Sep 2026) |
The practical reading: the 1052/2025 scheme was absorbed as the productive route; what disappeared is the “SUACE route” as a separate path (Editorial reading).
Applications started under 1052/2025. We do not know whether 283/2026 provides a transition regime for applications in progress (Under review · article pending cross-check). If you started an application before April 2026, ask MIC/SUACE directly.
