I see attorneys advertising services to help people obtain residency. But I'm on the official government website and see that the process is quite clear and simple.
Must I actually travel to Asunción to apply for residency in country? Why can't this be done at a consulate or embassy outside of Paraguay -- say in Miami? I my past experience with other residencies, citizenship and legal issues, they can be done, or at least initiated, at a consulate inside the US. In fact, México requires you to start the residency process outside the US, and later finish the process in México.
Are attorneys saying to travel to Asunción simply because that's where they're located? Or does the government and it's processes actually require travel to Paraguay to start and finish the process?
