As a Paraguayan I'm worried about people from developed countries coming to live here. They're only making prices to rise. I mean it's ok as soon as you're willing to work here and adapt to our economy. But this new trend of digital nomads with first world salaries is just the beginning of catastrophic results for us.
@NomadElite3 ай бұрын
Many are digital nomads. Also, many are retirees and business owners, which will benefit the Paraguayan economy. Nomad Elite has employed several Paraguayans. It is a win-win situation. Thanks to companies like ours, local salaries will rise in Paraguay and greatly benefit Paraguayan society, as these companies pay more than local entities and provide better terms and bonuses.

@@NomadElite yes but one of the downsides to foreigners coming to Py is the surge in RealEstate. It now becomes very difficult for the majority of the population to own anything in terms of real estate, and far the majority of that rise comes from foreigners. But that’s not just from digital nomads, US or Europeans, it’s also because wealthy Brazilians, Uruguayans and some Argentinians are buying up these large plots of lands left and right, even at premium prices, and that creates terrible imbalance in the country. As a Paraguayan I see it everywhere, including even the Chaco region

The problem is circular. Western countries are being flooded by people from all over the world. That drives prices up. Those people are seeking relief from the same pressures. It's a worldwide issue at the moment, not isolated to Paraguay.
@chic4u85Ай бұрын
I'm from America and visited Paraguay recently I can see the appeal, however I share the same sentiments. Paraguay is a country where you can see the huge gap, either people are living in poverty or extremely wealthy it's very unfair.
@davycrockett8886Ай бұрын
It's a two edged sword. There are many people who benefit hugely from rich people coming to the country, you can see the jobs and money it's creating in a big way! Of course real estate prices will go up. Paraguans make money from selling real estate too. The likely consequences for the poor is they get pushed away from certain areas. The question is whether there is the opportunity to develop low cost housing on the edges or the opportunity to move to other towns? In the end the rich foreigners are generally good imo. It's more a question of whether it's alright for some people to be rich or must all people be poor.

I’m Paraguayan, currently studying in Ireland (although right now I’m back home because I’m on break) and I was born and raised in the old downtown of Asunción. I’m definitely biased but I think it’s one of the best places to live in the metro area. It is totally walkable, as opposed to the new downtown, and very diverse and dynamic. There are just a little less shopping opportunities in the old downtown, there are still malls and calle Palma is filled with standalone stores and department stores, which you can get to by foot. If you walk through the old downtown (calle Palma) and the riverside (Costanera) you get a much better taste of Paraguayan life and culture than if you’re walking through the new downtown. The old downtown is also the center of most countercultures and the best place to be if you’re young and/or queer. It is somewhat sketchy but I’ve gone a lifetime without getting mugged and it is definitely much more safe than some other cities in the metro area like San Lorenzo or Luque, and more importantly the old downtown represents what Paraguay and Asunción really are much better than the new downtown which is much more Americanized.

Paraguay is great but some things to consider. Traffic is hell. Rush hour can last 2 or more hours to move very short distances. There are no highways and very narrow roads not maintained at all, just a reality. Aregua and especially San Bernardino is a summer beach towns with huge activity during those months, concerts, festivals etc. So not so laid back during those dates. Asunción has many other barrios between old downtown and the new cosmo hub that is Villa Morra that are definitely worth checking out, like Villa Aurelia or Ciudad Nueva without going as far as San Lorenzo, which I don´t like at all. There's also a huge campaign to revitalize the old downtown area. This has been attempted unsuccessfully many times before but this time around they seem to be doing it right. Time will tell. I love downtown and its surrounding areas.

As a paraguayan I don't recommend San Lorenzo, the infrastructure is simply too lacking and the culture shock would be too much (it is even for me as an Asuncena) imo Luque and Limpio would be better cheaper urban options. San Lorenzo has the national university tho which is good and I don't really know much about investments but I know quality of life. I agree with the rest of the video.

Hello, do you already have your citizenship in Paraguay? Are you aware of SMU? SMU is the Mandatory national service of Paraguay. I did some research, and I discovered that it is currently active. If you have your nationality, you are automatically at the service of your country, according to the law of Paraguay. Do you know if they are applying that law? Because that law does exist, it is Mandatory. If they start applying it, then you will be forced to enlist in the army, or pay a penalty fee
