We have been living for 1 year here in Paraguay and it's unbearably hot to live here during summer and spring. It's also not easy to find a modern house for rent.

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@kawriting. yea it truly does get hot in the summers. I personally cant sleep without an AC in these conditions. As for housing, the last few years, lots of foreigners came to Paraguay and snatched up all the good rental property. There might be a market for building nicer houses and renting them out. We know of some people who started doing that, very high demand and already got all their properties rented.

[@kawriting.]

@HaveYourADVENTURE All in all, the most important thing for us it that it's safe in Paraguay, compared to Europe right now. That's the reason we decided to move. According to the Bible, Russia will return. This means that it will again have military bases in the countries that belonged to the Soviet Union. And it will happen through wars like the one in Ukraine. That's why it's best to be away from Europe.

[@SVisionario]

Hey mate! Sorry, I didn't understand from your video if it's a requirement to be married to go through this process? You were talking about wedding papers and then I fell off.. IF I understood correct, anyone can do this with a clean police record etc etc and an investment of between 1000-2000 USD? Will that investment become cheaper if one already speaks fluent Spanish? Cheers wish you all the best!!

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@SVisionario hey thank you so much. Sorry for the confusion. I will release another video about the Paraguay Residency this Sunday and dive deeper into these questions. But here just to give you the fast answer, no you do not need to be married. If you are single, that is totally fine, you can apply with just your criminal record and birth certificate, both apostilled. The price for the whole process is around 1800 USD, but better confirm that with your residency helper. There is a way to get the residency without a helper if you are truly fluent in Spanish but the bureaucracy in Paraguay is a bit of a nightmare, so it will take you some time to figure it out. We wanted to do it ourselves as well but then opted for a residency helper instead. Let me know if that helped. For more information, go ahead and book a consultation with me with the link in the description and i can connect you to a good residency helper.

[@SVisionario]

@@HaveYourADVENTURE Appreciate it man thanks for the swift response!! I’ll consider booking a consultation. Might I ask what happens after you’ve gotten the 2 years residency? Will one then be free to live and work in other MERCOSUR countries, and/or does one need to physically be present living in Paraguay for a specific time period in a year?

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@SVisionario the first two year temporary residency will already give you almost all the benefits of the full time residency. You can live in PY, get a job, a bank account, drivers license… etc… we use the Cedula as ID card in other mercosur countries. When crossing the borders to Brazil to see the Iguazu Falls, all you can present to the Police in Brazil is your PY Cedula. Just like in similar structures like the EU, you will always have to re register your residency in other Mercosur countries in order to stay there for longer than 3 months or take on employment. When re registering through, your citizenship is the relevant determinatior for how easy or hard it is to get that new residency. We have experience with Brazil residency as well, so if that is of interest to you we can talk about it in a coaching call. I also made a video on my channel about Brazilian residency.

And there is no Paraguay Embassy in bangkok,so what should we do if we interest to meet u and apply the Paraguay Residency in Paraguay. Regards

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@kavinkad5733 yes the Thailand citizen situation can be tricky. Thailand doesn’t have an Apostille agreement and also no Paraguayan embassy. That means in order to verify your needed documents you would have to fly to the nearest embassy. I did a quick search and it seems like they are in India, Philippines or Indonesia. Probably not the answer you would like. For Hong Kong there seems to be a new e register program with Paraguay. Maybe try to google that. The Hong Kong Paraguay embassy seems to be in Japan. Unfortunately like i said in this video, it can get very tricky for citizens of some countries to get residency in Paraguay. I hope my information helped a bit.

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@kavinkad5733 ah and as a British passport holder you can just get a visa on arrival in Paraguay and can use the apostille system to get your documents verified. So that would be easy.

[@vape42]

Are there any requirements for the time you must spend in Paraguay? Could I theoretically obtain citizenship with a few one week vacations? I'd still want to spend the majority of my time in the United States but would like a second citizenship.

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@vape42 good question, for permanent residency it is enough for you to do your week long vacations every few years. As for citizenship, i am personally not so familiar about the process. You can start the citizenship process after having had permanent residency for 3 years. The citizenship process will then take 2 more years. As far as i understand, there will be multiple stages you will have to go through in order to get the citizenship. How often you will then have to be in Paraguay for that, i do not know. But if you want we can do a one on one coaching about the residency and i will investigate this for you. I can afterwards refer you to the immigration helper. He will be able to talk you through the citizenship process.

[@guytwombly2955]

Exactly

[@markmercury4401]

Is there No More Cash deposit required? For people with No university degree....

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@markmercury4401 thats right, the current residency process is split up in two parts. The first application is for your two year residency and for this application no more financial deposit is required. After two years you need to reconfirm your residency status and will then get permanent residency.

Hi Paul, thanks for the video. Has time to citizenship also changed, since now you have to wait 2 years for PR instead of obtaining it right away?

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@lucasbridges8082 citizenship in Paraguay is a whole different topic. It’s easy to get residency but citizenship is not such a straightforward topic. You are allowed to apply for citizenship in Paraguay just after living there for a few years but very few people actually get it. Paraguayans want to see you being integrated into the PY community with language skills and lots of connections. The Residency Helpers i know told me they cannot help anyone to get citizenship cause it is too hard. And be careful finding people who promise you otherwise.

[@lucasbridges8082]

@@HaveYourADVENTURE Thank you for the generous reply, Paul. I was just curious if the actual requirements for applying for citizenship had changed from 3 to 5 years, as it did in Ecuador years back when they introduced a 2 year TR leading to PR.

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@lucasbridges8082 I did some research in that regard and similar to the Residency process, there is also a new citizenship process and it has its positive and negative sides. Originally you needed to have your permanent paraguay residency for three years and then you could apply for citizenship. That process could have taken 5 to 10 years to complete. Now with the new program, you do indeed need to get your permanent residency first, and then live in the country for 3 years, so a total of five years now. But the new citizenship process is streamlined and only takes 2 years. So a total of 7 years from the beginning till the end. I hope that helped you. I am now able to refer you to someone who does citizenships in PY as well, so feel free to book a coaching call in case that is relevant to you.

@@ermagerd101 thank you good question. The application fee has to be provided by each adult. Children do get a small discount. The processing is done per person.

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

Hey thanks for asking. At the moment this is still a bit of a grey area. The first people who had their temporary residents for two years now will get permanent residency this November. Then we will know more about the strictness of the enforcement of that rule. So far PY hasn’t shown much strictness around those rules but we don’t know how things will change with the new regulations. So stay tuned for an updated video in November. For now i just released a new video with some of the answers to the questions from the last video.

[@MRZE506]

i heard you have to file taxes every month which might cost 30$ a month is that true. even if i dont live there?

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@MRZE506 good question! It really depends on your situation if you have to do monthly bookkeeping in Paraguay. As long as you do not have any Paraguayan sourced income, then you do not need to apply for a tax number and you are not required to file every month. Though should you feel the need for a tax number, you could even do these monthly reports yourself free of charge. It can be done online. If you feel like hiring someone, you can also find agencies that do that for you for less than 10USD per month. 30USD seems a bit pricy for my taste. But if you have more questions about it and need a recommendation for an immigration helper who can help you with those reports, feel free to book a one on one coaching with me.

[@STKvideoseries]

annoying, I hear ya

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

The application process is different for each country. I have clients from many countries, who after years of trying to get Paraguay residency have not managed to do so. For citizens of some countries it is even hard to get a tourist visa to Paraguay and some countries are completely blocked. You might be fortunate enough to go through a simple process but its a good exercise for life to see that there are other people with different perspectives out there too

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@STKvideoseries sometimes it’s hard to think yourself into other people’s perspective, maybe some practice would help.

[@john.roordink]

@@HaveYourADVENTURE I disagree. You make some exceptions the standard; otherwise, your title would have been different. For people who migrate to Paraguay, it's easy in 99% of the cases, especially with a good immigration helper. I know what I'm talking about; I deal with this for newcomers on a regular basis.

[@HaveYourADVENTURE]

@@john.roordink well then we have to agree to disagree. I have coaching clients, even from the US who have a hard time to get Paraguay Residency. Sure if you have everything in order, then it’s easy, my process was fairly fast but that is not true for everyone. Some of my clients are straight up banned from coming to Paraguay. For example try getting a residency for an American citizen with Chinese dual citizenship and birth certificate from china. Or what about people from India or Pakistan? They are having a hard time even getting a tourist visa. If you count only people from the US and Europe, with every document perfectly in order, sure then it is easy, but you clearly haven’t watched my video and just wanted to make sure someone who might not get the residency with you has no way to get good information. So maybe next time either watch the video or give the world the decency of just being quiet.
