Great video, it just came up as a recommended video and I watched it. I’m in American Expat on the ground in Marbella Spain for 21+ years. Who knows, maybe one day I will come check out Paraguay
Great conversation! I agree with pretty much everything, especially the part about the positive and ambitious energy that Paraguayans have, and expats as well once they realize how much opportunity for businesses there is. Also, the part regarding Paraguayans having patience w/ foreigners, very true... they have grace for expats who are willing to learn the language and culture.
I spent a month in Asuncion in July (winter there). Too hot, and I am from Florida😂. Also the agricultural burning at night triggered my asthma. Very nice people and food though. I wish it worked out because the govt is more functional, but I am in Argentina now.
Hello, it seems Paraguay is up and coming in the Expats possibilities. This could become the next Shangri-la for retirement. Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot.
¡Hola! Soy traductora pública matriculada de inglés/español en Paraguay, por si necesitan este servicio. ¡A las órdenes! / Hi! I’m a certified EN/ES public translator in Paraguay, in case you need one. Would love to work with you!
We plan to Vance. Helps all you guys out also with putting PY on the map. We all have different services to offer for different types of people🙌🏻 So it's all very good💪🏻
Always pros and cons in any country. We focus on the positives though and life is so much better. This is an emerging country. 1st to 4th world. Rich and poor. I'de say in many areas the powerlines look terrible being out of the ground unlike 1st world countries. That could be a negative. Not as pristine yet.
I'm Norwegian and live in Colombia. You mentioned families in the malls. In Colombia single motherhood is a plague. How is that in Paraguay? I speak Spanish after 13 years here, and Paraguay is really interesting!
La semana pasada fue publicada los resultados del último Censo poblacional en Paraguay, y uno de ellos indica que el 73% de los hogares paraguayos, "todavía" está compuesta por familias "completas" mayoritariamente, es decir; papá, mamá e hijos.
@@marcusklinge6620 this is true... depends on the men though. There are a lot of decent PY men with ethics, values and morals. Just tales a little longer to find them.
I'm in Brazil right now. Lived in the US for 10 years. Sad to sai that as of today Paraguay is better choice thah US. Unfortunately I havevyo agree that everywhere in the world is very hard to live.. Paraguay gives you freedom that currently have being denied to regular citizen.
If you think those prices are cheap, wait till you go a bit further out the country 😊 here in Caazapá for example a kilogram of nice filet, local, gras fed is around 5$ ... Asunción is one of the most expensive areas in Paraguay... And one thing I love too about the country... in all the 2½ years I live here now haven't seen one muslim and/or woke person 🙏
easy, ask you have money do whatever you want and you don't have a community asking how the hell you make a living. They just let you live in peace. Welcome to Guarani land free of idiotic taxes and without any natural threats
I just found your channel and have subscribed. Paraguay has made it to the top of my list. Something that was mentioned in this video was someone starting a mail business. One of the things that I've found difficult, sometimes impossible, is finding information on mailing and shipping to different countries from my hopeful new home. For context, I'm a pet portrait and wildlife artist and I do a lot online, but I do occasionally ship original art to other countries. Can you please tell me if Paraguay is a feasible option for me? Thank you for your time
It is viable but ahipping isn't overly cheap. DHL has an excellent service. And there is many courier services to and from Madeis or Miami. But with DHL a a4 aized envelope costs around $40 a $60 to the usa.

I've been interested in Paraguay as a Plan B for a while but one thing I can't seem to get good information about is how crypto friendly the banks are in Paraguay? For example, if I was resident in Paraguay and opened a bank account there, how easy/difficult do they make it to deposit some local currency via a crypto Exchange? In the UK, I have to be very careful.
You don't need a bank here to accept your crypto. Many other better options. However Itau is becoming crypto friendly and setting up for it as we speak. It's a Beazilian chain, full bank in Paraguay. You can be very careful here. It is easy.
@Planbparaguay What are those better options for off ramping ? And if you don't open a bank account there where on Earth do you park your life's savings sitting in a bank in Aus ? where it is increasingly feeling like it is no longer your money but theirs.
@@philgodfrey831 p2p and b2p. Inwould never park my life savings in one institute. Personally I'de spread it between different assett classes. And with cash, throughoit different institutes. You can put as much money as you please in Paraguayan banks in USD or Guarani as soon as you have PR. Or under certain conditions or arrangements on TR. Cook islands and Singapore are a couple of good options if you want to park your life savings in banks. I ise these countries for fiat banking, plus Aust still on a small scale and Paraguay. Plus a few different Ameeican exchanges and some european based banks. I feel very comfortable with my setup. Safe as I can be.
It would be best if living here to learn spanish of course. But it definitely isn't impossible without it. I was here two years without learning spanish before I did.
Quick question do you need the visa prior to arrive we are getting there by the 20 of September can we start the process after we had arrived set the appointment with you once we are there
If you enter for residency I would auggeat you get a Visa. If you are our client beforehand we can organise it for it. But yes, get the Visa if you are entering and not sure. If you definitely come and do the process with us! Then we can organise it before or after.
Depends on the area. From the cheapest areas to the richest suburbsc cities towns. Around $50-$500 a year. My home is in the best area of the capital city, Asunción, and worth around 800-900k. It costs me $512 a year property tax.
I heard even If you do all the steps, they won't give you citizenship.what have you heard? How hard to get residency? Can I buy houses if Not a resident?
You can get Citizenship. Residency is rather easy, eapecially in comparison to other countries. The best in the world. Yes you can but it makes the process a lot more time consuming and a little bit harder but definitely can buy property without Cedula. I'de recommend to do it with residency though, makes life a lot easier.
I have a question a lot of the ex pats give off vibes of being wealthy. Do you think it’s a good idea for your average Joe to move to Paraguay like to simply start a small farm and raise a family with no other business aspects?
If you know how to farm, and you have money to get you by until You start making money or being self sufficient on the farm. It would be okay. If thatbis what you wanted. But I would highly suggest if you do not. To save enough money to support yourself and family for a year. Come here and test the waters and see if you can achieve what you have set out to do. I know a family who came with no money. The father atarted teaching english at a local school. They afford food, groceries clothing, rent/utilities and all the childrens needs. They are getting by and seem very happy. But they are not living in a famcy home or really getting ahead. It's a basic life. But they are happy. Really depends on the person or family and what your comfort zone is. Maybe for a quick visit by yourself for a few weeks and aee what you think before you bring the whole family.
Uruguay is woke?! Wow, I never would have guessed that. I wonder how Paraguay has managed to keep the woke nonsense out of their country when Uruguay has caved
I'm from Uruguay and recently moved to Paraguay precisely for those reasons. To give you an idea, a couple of months ago, I went to Los Angeles for a month, and it wasn't expensive for me; it was almost the exact cost of living in Uruguay (except for housing and medicine, of course). So you can expect prices similar to California's in most areas. Uruguay is a "Western-style" country with good and bad things. Significantly developed, but woke and expensive. And also, it is very cold most of the year.
Spanish is not at all enjoyable for me ! It completely ruins my experience with signs menus and anything written. = The language barrier is an persistent everyday issue and not something very comfortable for an old man ! You guys are younger and perhaps more adaptable and don't mind these issues - but once your older - comfort becomes a priority. Cost of living isn't mentioned ? - - - Not a good fit I don't think - isolation from the language mostly = a fish out of water. - - - The Philippines appears more attractive for two main reasons important to old people. Language - and budget friendly. > Any budget you require or desire is available - up to 70% lower than in the US !!! People are super friendly - welcoming - and - they all speak English. It is for when you are ready to 'retire' - and relax @ the beach - not start a business !
Paraguay is great for retirement. All the educated Paraguayans an older bloke wants to be friends with speak english. And it is safer from dictatorship and options of better food for an older western man. Don't get me wrong PH is great. But during covid with their shoot to kill ordernon the streets if they found you out after hours. Was a little heavy handed. And you are just a tourist in asia. Always. You never can really own land, have rights or residency for life. We seen how that can change in an instant and how quickly guys lost money and were confused if they could stay during covid or not. A real mess. But Seems to be back on track now. I trust the process and residency is more secure and stable in Paraguay. That is all. But PH is an amazing part of the world.
This is why I learned Spanish in college. I could see 25 yrs down the road, people eyeing Latin Am after the coke wars calmed down. It boggles my mind that every U.S. kid doesn't learn more languages. It makes no sense. Every human alive learned a foreign language, their own. And yet we act like learning another language is brain surgery.
@@azdbuk It's become a different world the past 50 or more years. I agree with you. Unfortunately not many were concerned in the 60's when I was in College about it ? That has changed a lot since then.
Spanish is recognised by over 90% of the population. Spanish is the most spoken language in Paraguay and more known than Gauarani unfortunately. But 60-70% of Paraguyans still speak a little or a lot of gaurani.
Crime is listed as high on Numbeo for Paraguay. For any discerning folks that’s a hard pass. Southeast Asia is cheaper and safer. Now, Paraguay is closer to the US if that’s important to you.
Crime is not high here on average. Paraguay was named the safest country in South America a few months ago. There is one town on the border of Brazil that really pumps the crime rate up in PY. If you took that town away. Which no one visits anyhow. It is a business. PY would be amongst the safest countries in the world. Don't believe all the figures on Numbeo always. Vietnam is cheaper, definitely. Not for property though. Just for food. But you can't buy property in Asia. And Vietnam is safe. But Bali, Infonesia, Philippines, thailand... etc way more crime, corruption and danger than Paragauy. I travel those countries a lot so I know.
@@maggie4834 seriously is worth checking out. I had my mind up to live in Vietnam. I really enjoy VN (Japan and PH). But I came to Paraguay just to get residency and buy a small apartment and setup tax residency. Was meant to be a paper home base and a short month or two trip. Then I would hop between Medeterranian and Asia the rest of my life. I came to Paraguay and havnt left in years. Haha. Funny how things work out.
You really have to watch your back here in Colombia, it’s not relaxing to walk around town alone at all! I’m considering Argentina, Chile or Paraguay to visit and possibly relocate.

You don’t want to open a paraguay bank account. Because then it’s not foreign income. And you want all income to be foreign. So you have 0% tax
