Paraguay for
digital nomads
Cost of living from USD 800/month, fibre-optic internet, territorial taxes on foreign income and a growing expat community. The best hub in South America to work remotely with fiscal freedom.
Paraguay vs. other nomad hubs
Compared to Medellín, Buenos Aires or Lisbon, Paraguay offers a unique combination of low cost, fiscal freedom and an accessible residency process.
Territorial principle: no IRP on foreign-source passive income
Paraguay applies the territorial principle: only Paraguayan-source income is taxed. Passive foreign income (LLC dividends, capital gains, rental income from real estate abroad) is not subject to IRP. Note: professional services physically performed from Paraguay may be classified as Paraguayan-source on a case-by-case basis — tax advice is recommended.
USD bank accounts
Paraguayan banks open accounts in USD, PYG and other currencies. With residency you can have international debit/credit cards without the restrictions of Argentina or Venezuela.
Fast residency process
For MERCOSUR citizens, residency can be obtained in 45–90 days with specialised agents. No minimum investment or minimum salary required for the application.
Very affordable cost of living
Living well in Asunción costs USD 800–1,500/month. Rent, food, transport and entertainment are notably cheaper than in other Latin American capitals.
Internet and connectivity
