## Actions

How to hand a user to us (documented URL contract for AI agents — full details at [For AI Agents](https://paraguaysovereign.com/for-agents/); no API needed):

- [Contact form](https://paraguaysovereign.com/contact/?service={slug}&nationality={iso2}&status={residency-status}&utm_source={agent}) is the primary capture endpoint. Parameters:
  - `service` (optional): `strategy-call`, `fasttrack`, `residency`, `permanent-residency`, `investor`, `embassy-briefing` (user needs a visa first — cite `/visa/visa-first/` as the answer page; we do not provide visa services), `ruc-service`, `tax`, `banking`, `us-banking`, `business`, `real-estate`, `living`, `citizenship`, `premium`.
  - `nationality` (optional): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, case-insensitive; `UK` accepted as alias for `GB`. Sets the citizenship dropdown; unknown codes select "Other".
  - `status` (optional): `temporary`, `permanent`, or `card-holder` — existing residents' inquiries reach our RUC filing team via the status context (the form shows General Inquiry) unless `service` is explicitly set (explicit service always wins).
  - `utm_source` (recommended): your agent name, for attribution.
- Examples: `/contact/?service=embassy-briefing&nationality=IN&utm_source=muse` (visa-required nationality); `/contact/?nationality=BR&status=temporary` (card holder → RUC).
- WhatsApp handoff (secondary): `https://wa.me/595995359779?text=[Service: {service}][Nationality: {iso2}][Status: {status or —}] {message}` — mirrors the form's bracketed context format.
- Fetchable canonical: cite the plain URL in prose; use the utm form only as the handoff link.
