I am waiting for next semester's plunder to finance my adventure as I do not wish to sell assets. Most of this semester went to paying off the silver I put on 0% APR cards and Bill Me Later (0% for 6mo) but regrettably lost on a second boat accident. C'est la vie...but in summary: yes. Paraguay is unusual in that they do not require a number of years' residency per se, but rather holding a permanent residency permit for a certain amount of time. The only other country that has this loophole to my knowledge is Dominican Republic, and they increased their requisite permanent residence time to 8yr, likely on account of the Haitian problem. In this case, Paraguay is the Haiti of the region, so it is unlikely that they will revisit this matter.
