- It's a hot button issue...people moving to another country and setting up a business or securing a job. Is that even a thing for Westerners moving to Paraguay? If Westerners come to a South American country and set up a business or take a job, is that a good or bad thing for that country?

As an Aussie who lived in Vietnam for many years I appreciate your wisdom.
Thanks for your video.
Hey, thanks for the kind comment. I'm sure you have some wisdom to share also having spent much time in Vietnam. Thanks again.
As a New Zealander, (currently with an English business and family over in South Korea) I have similar sentiments about (not) going back. Good content Adam, thoughtful words with a nuance of seasoned-life experience. I've Been sizing up Paraguay for about 6 months now. I think we will talk in the future.
It would be good to chat. We'd be interested to hear how South Korea is for you. Thanks for tuning in.
Quite right about your thinking. I'm Colombian and have been to Paraguay twice in the last 6 months, and I've noticed there is quite a lot of scope for setting up business in a smaĺl o large scale over there. I'll be moving over there in the near future as a plan B due to the turmoil going on everywhere and feel Paraguay can be even a better country for all the resources that more independent people will bring into the country. Congratulacions for allowing this debate.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Thank you for putting out videos! I enjoy your content and find your information quite helpful! Please continue!
Thanks for the encouragement😁 More to come👍
Enjoy your videos . A nice and insightful perspective . Hope we cross paths when I get down to Paraguay in April .
Thanks and hopefully we will catch up. We hope you enjoy Paraguay.
…. Yes, that may explain also reason behind all that moving out to different places. I really like Your point .
True observations in this video !
I think it depends. It's always better when a country develops with mostly its own internal means. Otherwise it tends to be stuck in a cycle of having to import knowledge and capital, as Latin America has been for more than 200 years, unlike east Asian countries which broke off the cycle in less than 50 years. I think there's no problem with any individual person moving to a country that is willing to welcome them and setting up a business or taking a job, that said, I can think of many reasons why countries would rightfully prefer to protect their markets to give the chance and incentives for local to thrive only using foreign capital and expertise under specific terms and as much as necessary
I agree, countries should control immigration in a way the best serves those who live there. I think that's why Paraguay allows foreigners to work here. For Paraguay, that's what is working well. There may come a time when that needs to change. The thing about Paraguay is it is rapidly developing and so theoretically external expertise is necessary to guide that along. It's a complex topic.
Adam, thank you for your videos. You’re part of the reason I picked Paraguay! I can feel your genuine demeanor come through the screen.
Wow, what can I say. Thanks for that kind comment. We're located near Caacupe so please contact us when you're in the neighborhood so we can perhaps catch up. I hope Paraguay is all and more of what you hope it will be and let us know if we can help in anyway.
@@OurLifeinParaguay I will be seeing Radu soon, I’ll see you how I can get over to your neck of the woods!
Brilliant. Radu is great to work with. See you soon.
@@OurLifeinParaguay Hello Adam, I’m in Asuncion now. I would love to buy you a coffee or lunch and check out your neck of the woods. I’ll be here until Sunday with my wife. Do you have WhatsApp?
@@dolfan27 Sounds great. Maybe if you could drop us an email and we can send you our details. Hope you're enjoying Asuncion. 😊
Very good outlook. Thank you.
Cheers, appreciated.
As a brazilian I can to claim that PY is nice Country to build a new life.
We agree, thanks for watching.
Your friend in Nicaragua doesn't seem to understand how economy works. May be he had been fed the woke pill.
If there is a need for a service or product, anyone can step in to provide that for mutual benefit. Granted, the locals often are unable to come up with the initial investment, but that wouldn't change if a foreigner just refuses to fill that niche himself.
Just look at the Chaco. There was nothing going on there until the Menonites came and turned the barren land into a thriving community, not just for themselves, but also for the locals.
The Paraguayans I spoke to are very happy about "rich" westerners coming to the country because they invest, create jobs and spend money. Win-win situation. No worries.
Correct. A good example is the Mennonite Hospital. We went there recently, it was brilliant. I do think my friend had been spanked with the woke stick in his youth.
So right, hard work and effort will produce success 🤠👍
Absolutely! 👍
Hi there thanks for the insights i am planning to go to Paraguay for work or even better opportunities as a country still coming up.

I saw something about having to report purchases monthly, maybe needing an accountant to help if you buy a lot of things.
Do you have to track all your purchases? Do you have to report everything you have purchased to the government?
Sounds like you are hearing about the requirements for running a business in Paraguay. This is something we will be looking at in the future so stay tuned! 😉
I work online. Just being here in the country through consumption supports the economy. I still have contacts. Meet with Paraguayans privately and talk in everyday life. Also put media in Spanish. Then the language works. Except Guarani. But I'm learning this now with a friend. Saludos
Good to hear you've got it sorted. Sounds like you've achieved a good balance. Thanks for tuning in.
How is the internet. To run a business over the internet. And is starlink available in Paraguay?
Yes, Starlink is available in Paraguay now!
As other commenters have noted I agree that's good insight and nuanced arguments on the issue. It's not really an issue though is it (except for your mate) as Paraguay is seeking out resourceful migrants who can build business, hire locals and improve the economy. I can forsee you and your network creating jobs not taking them. p.s. I'll be booking a call with you soon on relocation matters many thanks.
Awesome, look forward to speaking with you. Paraguay does have an open door feeling to it and it's a good time to be here.
We’ll said.
Gracias, appreciate your time.
What about homeschooling laws in Paraguay ?
In reality things are flexible here.
