Im watching this on my way back to the states, my wife and I just completed our temp residency process. Shout out to Radu!! I really enjoyed Paraguay and love the vibe and we were shocked. Can’t wait to move there
Awesome, glad you liked the place. Good to hear you engaged Radu to assist. See you when you get back maybe.
Yes. I am Swiss, living for 10 years in Paraguay Central and San Pedro/Granja. Never went back to Swissy... live inmidtst native Paraguan people. Not everything is easy. But much simpler than in Switzerland/Europe.
Swiss, lic.oec.Paraguay since 2014
We have met quite a lot of Swiss people here. It would be interesting to know the numbers per country that have come in the past decade. You are an inspiration for us, having lived here for as long as you have.
How is it regarding security? Do you live alone in a house and have no problems with criminals? I consider going to Latin America, either Paraguy, or Panama or Costa Rica, but I`m concerned about hearing from crime against foreigners.
@@WolfF2022 Paraguay is the safest country I have ever lived in. That includes Australia and NZ. Is there crime? Of course, but you have to go way further to find it here than just about anywhere else. We live in a house, no problems. I have heard that there's been some break ins around here, but where isn't there? No-where I have ever lived.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay thanks for the info, sounds quite good.
@@WolfF2022I am from Paraguay and I had to run away from my country. Living in Asuncion in an expensive neighborhood I saw many times people asking for help for being assaulted. I couldn't help them.
Oh yes...this is just a simulation we play in this holographic world. Thank you for showing us the end game venue. 💓
Another helpful video for many out there. Great insight and advice.
Welcome to Paraguay 🇵🇾
Gracias!
Coming in March. Really appreciate your honest insight. Delighted you and your family are doing well.
Brilliant. Hopefully we might catch up when you settle.
Would be great pal!@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay
Hey Dave, I was just reading your blog and watching your vids. Great stuff. There's alot of things to unpack in regard to the whole crazy topic of moving to another country. I am just now working on a vid about that topic as I've seen quite a few 'travelers' losing their shit. On the topic of psychology, I wrote a short ebook about Conflict. I'm no Psychology expert but I have come up with a way of dealing with conflict that I know is effective. I know that topic has been done to death however I haven't seen anything quite like my approach. I imagine it's out there somewhere. Some time it would be good to catch up to discuss this and other mind numbing topics.
wow!! looks absolutely gorgeus where you are!!
We love it.
Great advice & excited for you guys - hope to see you soon
Oh, I just realized it's you guys! Yes, come on down. The beer and wine is much cheaper here. We're looking at this primo place with an amazing pool so hopefully we can have another pool party Paraguay style.
Congrats with the residency,love your website so much valuable information.
Awesome, thanks, appreciate your support.
Great vid, thanks bud.
Good Video, Man! I like the title of your channel. I have been to Paraguay years ago, and will likely come back maybe this year, God willing. I will continue to follow your videos and maybe we meet one day. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully we will catch up on the trail!
Nice view you have there. That terrace would also be a good place for a ham radio antenna!
If we move into radio we''ll keep that it mind!
Congratulations on your visas guys another achievement 😊
Thanks Jacqueline, yes, we're relieved to be on firmer ground. Next step is 10 year residence. That should either see us out, see the world out or we'll be so old that we won't give a toss either way!
Great vid, for once UA-cam dropped a decent suggestion.
Will be there in September, buy you a beer in Ascension if youre about
Sounds good. Please flick us an email and we'll make sure to schedule a trip.
Good advice ,take care mate ,it looks beautiful out there 😎
Cheers friend. We like it. We'll work on getting around a bit more and doing some vids of the sights.👍
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay
I done the same as you and got the cedula from Radu too for me and my wife ,Im looking forward to getting out there in the coming months, Looking forward to hear how things go for you in your upcoming Vids mate ,Cheers Francis
Good for you Francis. Let us know when you get here and we'll catch up. If you need any advice about accommodation options feel free to email us.
Ah thanks mate ,we defo hook up for sure ,id say ill be needing some adivce alright! Thanks a lot and stay safe out there... Cheers Francis@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay
Hi Mate, hope you and your family are well. Got a question regarding money and banking. We are thinking about moving but unsure about funds and access to it there. Can you explain more on how you did this please. Especially from Australia. Do you use wise, resolut ect. Thank you.
Hi, we are great thanks! 👍
You can access your funds via the ATM (the limit is about $600 AUD per day) and paying using your cards is no problem. It's very much a cash society here but supermarkets and larger restaurants take cards.
People quite often bring a lump sum of money (USD new $100 bills only) to buy a car with. We have multiple bank accounts in Australia & NZ and we do have Wise cards.
Our advice is to get that all organised before you come and have multiple options to access your money in case you have problems with a card. Opening bank accounts and transferring large sums is another ball game and a bit too long to explain here. Please email us hola@adirtcheaplife.com and we can tell you more about it! 😊
Hello
I was wondering what is the vac. Requirements r ?
Can U help inform me?
Our understanding is that Yellow fever vax is required if you are arriving via Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela. But please double check that with other sources because things are constantly changing.
There's no requirement to be covid vaxed.
Can you do a video comparison of Nicaragua vs Paraguay?
Hey Chris, hope you're well. Good idea, we definately will👍
Hi Chris, Just posted this comparison for you.
No chemtrails . is it true?
Very little. We've been told people have seen the odd one but we haven't noticed any.
Seriously about getting on board coming from Colombia which politacally is not looking good at the moment. At least in respect to investing funds. We'll see what happens but a plan B is in order.
Hopefully this swing i to socalism will cancel itself out, but if not we are another Venezuela in the making, with abandoned farms.no workers and worthless money.
Where ever socialism has been social decay follows. NZ, Canada are shining examples of that. Down here that reality is glaringly obvious. Countries, side by side, one doing well and several others choking. No prizes for guessing what the main cause is.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay or California, San Francisco, list seems endless at the moment.
Pedro just nationalized a private health care company, or stoled it (another word for it)
, given that who on the outside is now going to invest in Colombia? F'ing brillante move,,
,like I say, does not look good.
Why pay for something when U can steal it...reasonable assumption,
whe are looking but 5 kids and 11 grand childeren how do you do it?🤔
Everything is doable! 🙂There are many larger families moving here - some together and some in stages.
Parents quite often come and start setting themselves up for their children and grandchildren to come later. Some people come and get their residency and then head back and square things up in their home country and return.
Lots of support here and a growing community of English speakers who are happy to help you - humanity at its best 🙂
What town did you say that was?
We're near Caacupe.
@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Is there a website where i can find rentals out there? Having a hard time finding anything outside the capital
@@itsjacobgandy Not anything reliable. There's FB but that's a wild goose chase. Do you have an idea of which area do are you want to rent in?
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Not yet - im moving down in May getting my temp residency sorted out - im wanting to be outside the city in a smaller town where i can rent for $100/month or less
@@itsjacobgandy The cheapest we've come across was a 1 brm unit for $200 USD per month. There might be cheaper out there but they'll be challenging to find. If you contact us hola@adirtcheaplife.com we can give you dets for some online groups that you can hunt around in for rental accommodation.
Subscribed man.
Is there a decent community of "awake" people there?
Are there many expats there?
Definately, but finding them is easier if you speak Spanish or German because that's what most people speak. But there's more English speaking people coming everyday.
