Legal residency in Paraguay and Uruguay does not require a minimum investment.

The $2 million figure associated with Uruguay applies to its low-presence tax residency track a separate programme entirely. Standard legal residency is income-based. Permanent status from day one.

Paraguay follows the same structure. No investment threshold. No extended physical presence. A direct process with a substantive legal outcome.
Two sovereign residency permits in the Southern Cone one of the most politically stable regions in the Western Hemisphere established in a single visit.

For families building a considered second foundation, that is a meaningful starting point.

EC Holdings advises on Southern Cone residency as part of a broader approach to global mobility and long-term positioning.

Alongside fellow leaders across the investment migration industry, our Chairman joined Panel 7 at : Beyond the Passport: Rethinking Investment and Lifetime Value in Caribbean CBI.

The discussion focused on how Caribbean CBI programmes can move beyond transactional models and build long-term national value through resilience, infrastructure, sustainability, tourism, wellness, and generational economic growth.

The panel reinforced a clear point: the future of the industry will be shaped by the ecosystems countries create, not just the mobility they provide.

Strong perspectives. Honest discussions. Important direction for the future of Caribbean CBI.

Our CEO, Philippe May, joined industry leaders this morning at CIS26 for Panel 5: Technology, Trust, and Transformation: Keeping Pace with the Digital Frontier.

The discussion explored the evolving role of AI, due diligence infrastructure, and the future of CBI vetting highlighting a critical industry reality: while technology can accelerate processes, trust, transparency, and sovereign accountability remain at the core of every credible citizenship program.

A key takeaway from the panel was clear innovation must enhance human judgment, not replace it. In an industry where defensibility and integrity are paramount, the human element continues to be the foundation of global confidence and long-term program sustainability.

We are proud to contribute to these important conversations shaping the future of investment migration.
