Still no solution in sight to this problem
I’m starting to think this was done on purpose to cull thousands of foreigners from the system (and probably extort them later if they want to be added again)
Think twice before doing ‘Paraguay as my tax residence, I live elsewhere’, this country is beautiful but also corruption reigns
And if you already have a residence, you may want to drop by Identificaciones to see whether you actually still exist
Paraguay is a disaster 🇵🇾
Department of Identifications handed over their entire national database to a third party provider in Colombia AND PEOPLE WENT MISSING IN THE MIGRATION 🙋♂️
Now that I have to apply for my Permanent Resident, I find out that the Department of Identifications have zero records about my ID - I literally do not exist on the system. And there is no one responsible for solving the problem: been to Migrations, Police, Department of ID, etc. They are all beholden to the Colombian company
Mystery how my RUC works (I pay taxes on every purchase, every day) and what would happen next time I try leaving or entering the country with my Cedula.
Real problem is - what happens when my temporary residence expires (SOON)? I am not able to apply for Permanent Residence because a) I don't exist b) They can't issue the police certificate needed by Migrations
Best solution I've been given is to apply for Temporary Residence AGAIN. Which feels like getting rug pulled after doing everything by the book and being eligible for Permanent Residence
