Have you ever considered quitting your job and moving down south? Somewhere warm, cheap, and welcoming to digital nomads? Well Paraguay is becoming a popular location to do just that.
In today's video, we'll take a look at the benefits of life in Paraguay via an interview between myself and the co-founder of Plan B Paraguay (an agency that helps foreigners set up residency in the country).

Good material, thank you. Paraguay is really the fastest raising magnet for immigrants in Latin America. One misinformation: Panama did not stop friendly nations visa. They only raised the minimum level for initial investment (property purchase) to scare away low budget potential immigrants here. Simply due to inflation, the net was wider and wider and they decided to adjust a little bit the entry level not to over-flood the country with foreigners. Also traditionally they do not want backpackers type of immigrants. They prefer middle and higher financial level ones which somehow makes sense. Another one is that there is no unrest going on in Panama. It is typical Latin country where political scene is always changing as every 4 years they have elections. But nothing uncommon going on there. Few pluses of Panama (we did that homework deeply visiting both countries) comparing to Paraguay: - way better climate, where on the beaches area you have 26-32C degree whole year round. A little big more hot in Panama City and much colder in the mountains (Boquete). Never as hot as in Paraguay - very low crime rate. Paraguay is not bad either, but not on the same level like Panama - higher standard of living (better infrastructure) - location: much closer to North America or Europe, comparing to Paraguay - Panama has 2,500 km long coastline, while Paraguay is landlocked. So not the same views... True that Panama is more expensive than Paraguay. But most of manufactured products cost the same as both Panama and Paraguay have the lowest prices and custom taxes in Latin America. Very often you can see Uruguayans and Argentinians flying to all-inclusive in Panama not to spend time on a beach, but to go buy their new cell phones, tablets and laptops as it is very cheap there. Restaurants and services are way cheaper than in North America, so the comment "the same prices" is really missing the point here. Secondary, you save LOTS on taxes (in both countries) especially when you are still working and then your standard of living already jumps (our case) 4 times, so all seems suddenly relatively cheap. Again, Paraguay is a very good destination. Seems to be a perfect match to those who are mostly focused on low-cost. While for middle and higher-income expats Panama is still much better option.

I've been here for 9ver two yrs. People are nice and friendly,which is nice. Now...there is no accessable nature,you gotta pay ,if you want to see any nature. Quality of products are very low,not much variety when it comes to fruits and vegetables. In many cases it is more expensive than in europe with worse quality. Foget bout finding a job(minimum wage is around 15€ a day) Like i said,people are very nice and friendly,weather is very nice and it feels quite safe. Probably will leave sometime next year.

It depends on the contract. Usually it is either 10% or 5% of the total price amount. However, for foreigners, there's a 15% fee extra that you have to pay for taxes.

He is basically promoting tax evasion. Money earned while working in Paraguay is subject to Paraguayan tax. Remote workers need to pay taxes in Paraguay.

I have been searching for information about Paraguay for 5 months. After watching this video, I made up my mind to apply for residency in Paraguay, but later, after reading all the comments here, I stepped back..! I have mixed feelings now: I do not now if I have been lucky to be warned about the hardship I might face for Paraguay or I have to go through more unpleasant surprises in my next search for a country to live in??

What about citizenship? I’m interested in getting a second passport, and I understand that Paraguay only recognizes dual citizenship for Spanish or Italian Citizenship. I honestly want the citizenship option to seal the deal that I have a plan B or C.

Paraguayans will rip you off ,if ypu're white or a foreigner. Quality of houses and products in general are very low. Keep that in mind.

*BEWARE OF TAX AVOIDANCE* 11:10 “Also not brought to Paraguay in bank” What this guy really means is: since Paraguay is too poor and not a part of the Common Reporting Standards, if you work in Paraguay and “forget” to declare your money, Paraguay has no way to find out. Come on guys, income tax is only 10 % in Paraguay. Make an effort and live in the country legally.
