Why I will never get Paraguayan citizenship 🇵🇾🙅‍♂️

[@rondamon4408]

I think that a good thing about Paraguayan citizenship, is that you can purchase a .py domain, and write python tutorials

The biggest problem that people run into in Py when trying to get citizenship is not necessarily the language side of things. It's that they've been abusing the "territorial tax system" for the entire time they've been there, or they don't *really* live in the country, and so when their application is assessed, and the judge sees that they don't really live in Py, or if they do live there, they have never paid a G of tax, well, their application is politely put into the "someday" basket.

[@NearShoreLiving]

Yep agreed!

[@tubbyrainbow111]

Tax is just a fancy word for theft

[@timeStat]

I have 3 passports and never had any issues. PY, US, GER.

[@jaws2003]

Nice!!!! Do you have any issues using it? I can't lie I still want a Paraguayan passport. If not then I will try Mexico

[@souhails]

but you still have to pay tax in the us :(

[@kevinadams9468]

Yet...

[@timeStat]

@seilapo813 Regarding article 150....I was out of Paraguay, without returning to the country even once for 19 years. When I returned I had no issues. By then I had already acquired the other passports, and even attempted to enter the country using a non Paraguayan passport because it had expired. I never had any issues.

[@jceezee1084]

I have never ever heard of being able to acquire Paraguayan citizenship through corruption. This may be possible, but would be extremely expensive and would not make sense. As far as I'm aware, the supreme court in Paraguay must sign-off approve new citizenships. It's not going to be easy to bribe a judge of the supreme court.

[@dexterspeights3484]

3rd world country corruption > it's not easy, It's just more expensive!

[@JohnDoe-yv8yn]

great content no bullshit, appreciated man

[@NearShoreLiving]

Thanks man! Let me know if you have any suggestion.

[@vierap598]

But you can still live in PY with temporary or permanent residency outside of PY citizenship, correct?

[@NearShoreLiving]

Yep. Correct. You can live/work/open bank accounts etc.

[@FlowtnWitWalden]

The "option" to get PA citizenship is very attractive. In the meantime, PA residency looks great. It's inexpensive, easily maintained and best of all their Cedula will allow you to travel to several other South American Countries without a passport. This in itself seals the deal for me. I plan to fly into PA, which is generally cheaper and then travel into Brasil and Argentina for sightseeing/vacations.

[@BasedInBrazil]

Only via land borders, if you fly to another South American country you'll need a passport.

[@kevinadams9468]

The state of Pennsylvania (PA) doesn't offer passports and citizenship. I hope you are not flying in to Pennsylvania to visit Argentina or Brasil...lol. You might want to note that the country code for Paraguay is PY.

So what are these real passports that I can actually keep? Examples?

[@chillout914]

the problem is not anyone can afford a carribean passport it is made for rich corrupted people not all but most of them , if you try a country like mexico which is for me not just a passport but i love the culture , the people , the history you need also to show them that you have revenues and it is for rich retired americans and europeans .... so paraguay for me is the best choice because it is not expensive , the process untiil now is easy and clear and it is a gate to other south american countries and the EU .... i got your point of making money is a better choice but money depends on what did you study , where you live too , how is the market where you live , taxes , bank system , bureaucracy so better to see things for me from my prespective coming from 3 world country .... otherwise thank you for your work stll very informative and rich

[@vivredutrading273]

Hello, just watched your video. So, here is the situation. Would love if you could tell me what you think. Right now, many european governments, except a few such as Hungary, are led by a bunch of psychopatic morons like Mr Macron, who are paving the way towards a totalitarian federalist Europe, based on a military economy, confrontation with Russia, and control of its populations. Based on that, I don't want to see my 13 year old kid being drafted to a soon to become mandatory military national service in France, and I'm looking for an escape plan for his own safety, as I don't imagine he'll be happy if he is ordered to some stupid front line in a cold war time at best. Therefore, I was considering going with him to Paraguay and start the residency then citizenship process in 2 years if things keep going worse. But if you have any better suggestion to get him a second citizenship with reasonably low time, effort and money, in any other country, I'm all ears...

Where did you heard/know that is to get citizenship of Paraguay? It ya very hard in indeed, I think that is 88 persons in last year, most of them are from Mercosur countries, Paraguay has to accept their cases due to agreement of Mercosur, I have first hand knowledge

😂😂😂 I've heard Africa (i.e core D'Ivoire) are hot beds for that kind of stuff. Venezuela is another place that I know for a fact there are people still doing it. I'm sure all countries to some extent have a version of it but it depends on how deep your pockets are hahaha

[@mikewietecha]

What other citizenships would you recommend?

[@vasionok]

Don't you need to differentiate dual citizenship and second citizenship? Paraguay might not allow the former, but doesn't prohibit the latter.

[@NearShoreLiving]

Correct. My channel is already too nuanced 😂 I do have to draw the line somewhere.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

You are 100% correct about CBI programs. Even Panama, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic residencies would be under rhe US thumb. Maybe something completely different like Russia or Morocco, at least for residency?? Citizenship is too complicated unless there is no language requirement if you're over 60. But how do Western countries allow citizens to get Russian residency or citizenship?

[@NearShoreLiving]

I would say that the US doesn't have any real limitations into what citizenships/residencies you can obtain aside from a few obvious ones like north Korea, etc. Many many Americans have dual citizenship with Russia, Venezuela, and Iran without any issues whatsoever (maybe some extra questioning at the border but that's it)

[@anonmon6236]

The other day I saw a tweet from a guy selling residency services about moving to Paraguay to "live under no laws"... lol

😏 Paraguay has some nice things about it (for some ppl) but it's no different in terms of laws than say Argentina or the rest of the continent. In most of the continent, white collar crime (tax fraud etc) is an everyday thing.

Amazing advice as always. A Dutch guy I know was hyping up the Ukrainian passport saying that he'd never need to revoke his own citizenship (even though on paper, they don't allow dual citizenship_ but you never know what will happen down the road.

Thanks much appreciated it. I do feel like Ukrainian passport is super powerful now tho 😂 they are fast tracked into residencies in so many places.

Hey brother, thanks for sharing! What's your opinion on just getting Permanent Residence & then just staying in an Airbnb from time to time every few months? Not my primary residence, just a plan B place to travel to when the rest of the world is going insane?

[@MourningWould]

It seems to be a scam anyway. No one is actually getting passed permanent residency.

my friend I have a Pakistani passport (worthless) but I make $1k-$2k a month remotely, do you think I should go for Argentinian Passport (Study Visa route?) I saw you didn't have any videos on their study visa residency so was wondering

[@NearShoreLiving]

If I had a Pakistani passport, I would try to get a better one if possible for sure. That being said, I would encourage you to first check out some first world countries with short naturalization time like Canada/Aus to see if it's possible first. If not, being Argentinian is much better for travel than Pakistani

[@DestinationJapan95]

Overblown “issues” Paraguay doesn’t care how many passports you have, they never have and never will. Laws and how the country actually operates are way different Because a dictator 60+ years ago said “no dual citizenship” doesn’t mean the actual gov and citizens care. In the constitution, only because of a previous dictator. Would it make you feel better if they removed it? The only reason people shouldn’t get PY citizenship is because the passport isn’t great. Just give birth in Argentina or get Argentina citizenship after 2 years

[@NearShoreLiving]

I agree to some extent but the point of the video is why get a citizenship that relies on poor enforcement when you can quite literally get a similar one that is 100% by the book. Enforcement can always change, but there aren't many cases of countries removing citizenship that was obtained legally. I think it's because there is a huge market of gestores in Paraguay so the idea gets floated around on social media.
