How It Works

Your Path to Residency

We handle everything from document preparation to in-country support. Here's what to expect.

01
Free Consultation

Initial complimentary 30-minute strategy consultation (video call) to assess your goals, timeline, and eligibility. No commitment required.

02
Choose Your Path

Based on your consultation, we'll confirm whether residency is a fit for your situation and outline the most appropriate pathway. If we're aligned, we'll agree on scope, next steps, and move forward.

  • Pricing depends on your pathway and situation and is discussed during the call. In some cases, we may advise against proceeding if a residency isn't a good fit - and we'll be clear about that upfront.
  • Choosing the correct pathway at the outset matters - the standard 2-year route requires a second return trip to secure permanent residency.
  • The consultation itself is always exploratory and no obligation.
03
Document Preparation

Receive your country-specific checklist. We guide you through gathering and apostilling every document required.

  • Document requirements vary by pathway. Investor programs (Paraguay SUACE or Panama Qualified Investor) may require proof of investment or additional financial documentation.
04
Legal Review & Submission

Your documents are reviewed by our in-country legal team and submitted to immigration authorities.

Investor pathway (Paraguay SUACE or Panama Qualified Investor): application submitted directly for permanent residency.

Standard pathway: application submitted for a 2-year temporary residency.

  • Pathway selection is confirmed after your consultation.
05
Travel & Arrival

Travel to Asuncion or Panama City. Legal team handles all government appointments.

  • Travel requirements vary by pathway and country.
06
Residency Approved

You receive your residency card.

Investor pathway clients receive permanent residency.

Standard pathway clients receive a 2-year temporary residency. Permanent residency requires a separate application before the 2-year term expires.

07
Path to Permanent
Standard pathway only

This step applies only to clients on the standard 2-year temporary residency pathway. Before your temporary residency expires, you must return to the country to submit your permanent residency application with the lawyer. We reach out well in advance to coordinate timing, documentation, and logistics.

  • Failure to complete this step results in the temporary residency expiring and the process ending without permanent residency.
  • There is no additional advisory fee from Plan B Expat for this step. Lawyer fees for permanent residency processing apply and are outlined in advance.
  • Investor pathway clients skip this step entirely.
