We will introduce life in Paraguay, discussing various cities, climate, and society. This episode will help you understand what to expect if you decide to settle in this country.

This is your audio guide host, my name is Daniel. I represent the company Living in Paraguay (https://www.livinginparaguay.com/). We offer high-class immigration consulting, providing the best service on the market for obtaining Paraguayan residency, tailoring solutions based on clients’ needs and financial capabilities.

The Republic of Paraguay is located in the central part of South America and is landlocked. Paraguay shares its borders with Brazil to the northeast and east, Argentina to the southeast, south, and southwest, and Bolivia to the northwest and north. The country is divided into two unequal parts by the Paraguay River. To the west of the river lies the Gran Chaco region, a desert-like landscape covering approximately 60% of the country. To the east, where the majority of the population resides, you’ll find fertile plains and subtropical forests. The total land area of the country is 406,752 square kilometers.

The climate in the Paraguayan region of Parana is subtropical, while the Chaco region has a tropical climate. Weather conditions vary across different regions of Paraguay.

Average temperatures in January (midsummer locally) in the south range from +27 to +29°C, in the northwest from +23 to +34°C. Hot days often see temperatures rise to +35–45°C. In July (midwinter locally), temperatures cool down to +16–19°C in the south and +14–25°C in the north.

As you move westward, precipitation levels decrease. In the mountainous eastern regions, annual rainfall reaches around 2200 mm, in the central areas, it drops to 1600 mm, and in the western part of the country, it can be as low as 750 mm. Weather in the mountainous areas is highly dependent on elevation, and conditions can be quite harsh.

The population of Paraguay is estimated to be 7,9 million as of July 2022. The annual population growth rate is 1.3%, with a fertility rate of 2.16 births per woman. The average life expectancy is 76 years for men and 79 years for women. The official languages are Spanish and Guaraní. Unlike other Latin American countries, Paraguay widely uses the language of the indigenous population, Guaraní, for interethnic communication. 37% of the population predominantly speaks Guaraní, 50% are equally proficient in both Spanish and Guaraní, and 7% of the population predominantly speaks Spanish. A small portion of the population is fluent in Portuguese and German.

Paraguayan people are known for their warmth, hospitality, and friendliness, always eager to meet new friends. The rich culture and traditions of this country are expressed through vibrant colors and rhythmic melodies that bring joy and a love for life.

Ah, the pleasant climate! Here, it’s eternal summer, and even when the skies are filled with warm rains, it creates an atmosphere of coziness and romance. Life here flows like a melody, bringing harmony to the heart of every traveler.

Paraguay has always been considered a highly commercial country with a significant influx of people from various South and North American nations. Its proximity to Argentina is a key factor, and many Argentine tourists choose to visit one of Paraguay’s cities.

One of the most well-known cities in Paraguay is Encarnación, especially because most of its residents refer to it as the “Summer Capital.” You’ll likely agree with them because the city feels like a perpetual summer due to its beaches and carnivals. Encarnación is one of the most important tourist destinations in Paraguay, attracting an increasing number of visitors from around the world.

Its rapidly developing economy, primarily driven by the river port and small shops located throughout the city, annually draws many people looking for a peaceful beach vacation in Encarnación. Typically, in such cases, people call a guesthouse or hotel to book a specific number of days, but in recent years, more and more individuals prefer to rent a house for a few days in Encarnación.

However, Encarnación doesn’t thrive on tourism alone; this Paraguayan city also has various commercial districts where you can find the best deals on goods and services in the country. Moreover, in Encarnación, you can easily find job opportunities in certain types of businesses, such as bars, restaurants, nightclubs, or casinos. This is why many young people don’t hesitate and want to find a way to start a new life in the Republic of Paraguay.

Another reason for the buzz surrounding Encarnación, which attracts the attention of many people from around the world, is its traditional carnival. This carnival is held every year from January to February and annually welcomes over 100,000 tourists.

Not far from the city, you can also find very interesting landmarks and natural surroundings, such as the Jesuit ruins of Jesus and Trinity (which have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites) or the beach in Carmen del Paraná.

Asunción, with a population of around 900,000 people, is a cosmopolitan city with a warm atmosphere.

Asunción boasts wide avenues lined with numerous types of trees that bloom year-round. The city offers modern hotels, shopping centers, and theaters, as well as more traditional and historical architecture.

Asunción is the largest city in Paraguay and serves as the nation’s capital.

Asunción is the political, economic, and cultural center of Paraguay. The city is home to government institutions, major corporations, and numerous universities. The city’s primary economic sectors are trade, finance, agriculture, and industry.

Asunción is renowned for its cultural richness. The city hosts numerous museums, galleries, and theaters where you can explore Paraguay’s history and art. Popular events in Asunción include festivals such as the Asunciónico carnival and Paraguay’s Independence Day.

The gastronomic culture in Asunción is also incredibly diverse, offering dishes from both national and international cuisine. It’s a place where you can taste traditional dishes like asado (grilled meat), mbeju (manioc bread), and mandioca (cassava).

Asunción is a dynamic and diverse city, offering both modern conveniences and a rich cultural heritage. It’s an excellent place for travelers looking to explore Paraguay’s history and culture, as well as enjoy the hospitality and cuisine of this unique country.

The city is culturally and ethnically diverse, with a population made up of various ethnic groups, including Paraguayans, Spaniards, Italians, Germans, and representatives of other nationalities. This cultural mosaic characterizes the city, making it an interesting place to study and understand local customs and traditions.

Modern shopping centers and the service industry are actively developing in Asunción. The city offers numerous shopping and entertainment complexes, including shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, and nightclubs. The service sector also includes banking institutions, tourist agencies, and medical centers, providing residents and visitors access to a wide range of services.

These factors make Asunción an attractive and viable place for living and doing business, as well as for entertainment and travel. The city is a blend of rich history and modern conveniences, making it a key point on the map of Paraguay and the South American region.

We will discuss the tax advantages offered by Paraguay, including a 0% tax on foreign-sourced income. We will also explore why Paraguay is becoming increasingly popular for business and remote work, and how living in Europe, for example, while having a Paraguayan company can ease your tax obligations.

I’m your audio guide host, my name is Daniel. I represent the company Living in Paraguay (https://www.livinginparaguay.com/). We provide top-notch immigration consulting services, offering the best service on the market for obtaining Paraguayan residency, tailoring solutions to your specific requests and financial possibilities.

Paraguay is a South American country that is steadily working to improve its position. Paraguay is a friendly, dynamic country rich in employment opportunities for its people and foreign professionals looking to reside within its borders.

So, let’s start with the most important aspect: what tax benefits exist in Paraguay in 2023. The most interesting figure here is 0%. That’s the tax rate foreign-sourced income companies pay. This means that any remote worker or businessperson working with foreign companies won’t pay taxes. Additionally, personal income earned within Paraguay is subject to only a 10% tax, which is significantly different from Spain’s lowest income tax rate of 19% (which can go up to 45%, nearly half of the income for pensioners and workers). [For instance, self-employed individuals in Spain pay a 35% tax on personal income, plus additional taxes.]

What types of businesses can most effectively leverage these tax advantages? We can say that any business that generates income from abroad can utilize this advantage. You don’t even need to obtain a fiscal ID and can open a company with a current bank account, which makes maintaining a company that deals with foreign services more cost-effective.

Discussing why Paraguay is becoming an increasingly popular destination for businesses.

Identifying the sectors and types of businesses that can thrive in this country.

As for the most popular sectors, we can tell you that agriculture and livestock are the driving forces of Paraguay’s economy. The country ranks first in renewable energy production and second in stevia production. In fact, Paraguay is the world’s sixth-largest exporter of meat. And that’s not all, as Paraguay is also a significant exporter of soy and sunflower. If you’re considering investing here, among the sectors you should focus on is certainly livestock, with 25 million hectares allocated to it. The industrial sector is also developing, including textiles, leather, forestry, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Therefore, investments in these sectors can be profitable.

The same applies to tourism, which has experienced significant growth in recent years and is expected to continue growing. Paraguay boasts amazing natural beauty, national parks, and cultural heritage. Developing tourism can be a lucrative business. Just think, in 2017, the number of tourists almost doubled, opening excellent opportunities for tourism development in many wonderful parts of the country.

Paraguay, like many other countries, can offer various advantages to remote workers, including:

The post Episode 5 – Tax Benefits and Paraguay for Business appeared first on Living in Paraguay.

Hello. This is your audio guide host, my name is Daniel. I represent the company Living in Paraguay (https://www.livinginparaguay.com/). We offer high-class immigration consulting, providing the best service on the market for obtaining Paraguayan residency, tailoring solutions based on clients’ needs and financial capabilities.

In this episode, we will explore the ideal path to Paraguayan citizenship and discuss whether you really need a second passport. We will outline the steps required to obtain residency and share advice on potential stops along the way, additional services, and how we save time for our clients.

In previous episodes, we discussed the goals that can be achieved with Paraguayan residency. We covered the opportunities that temporary residency provides and the basis for becoming a Paraguayan resident in 2023.

The need for a second passport and second citizenship seems self-evident and requires no further justification. A second passport is about taking care of yourself, your future, your family, your freedom, your business, and your endeavors. Paraguay currently offers some of the best conditions for obtaining citizenship, with an easy and cost-effective procedure. We assist our clients in transitioning from temporary residency to a passport in a stable and entirely lawful manner, within the best timeframes and at the best cost for the entire service.

So, let’s begin the journey to the passport.

As we mentioned, we determine the client’s goals and needs, communicate to understand which documents need to be obtained from the client’s country. However, we can be helpful not only through chat. Our website and social media channels provide the most current and reliable information needed to initiate collaboration.

For applicants for temporary residency, which is the first step towards obtaining a passport, the following original documents with apostilles and translations into Spanish are required: birth certificate, criminal record check if applicable, marriage certificate, We are ready to assist in the document preparation process, including apostille services, even remotely.

To obtain around 15 local certificates together with the applicant and submit all documents, a presence in Paraguay for about a week is necessary. We are prepared to assist in finding tickets and accommodation during your stay. If you do not plan to reside in Paraguay, we can send the residency documents to you by mail after obtaining them. You do not loose your residence and Cedula  in Paraguay if you do not live there, you must sleep only one night every 3 years.

As we mentioned earlier, the application process takes five days. The processing time for temporary residency and the issuance of the Cedula card ranges from 3 to 6 months from the application date. Once you have temporary residency, you gain the right to reside in the country, open a business, and access several other opportunities. We strictly adhere to legal conditions and provide a guarantee of results, so we provide only realistic processing timeframes.

Our company holds an E-Trust certificate from the European Union, ensuring complete service transparency and compliance with all business regulations, strict accountability, and the honest provision of services. We have been in the migration service market for over 20 years, valuing our reputation.

Two years after obtaining temporary residency, you can apply for permanent and indefinite residence in the country, thanks to recent legislative changes that have made the procedure easier. If you do not plan to live in the country, applying for permanent residency will be another reason to visit Paraguay once or twice. To qualify for citizenship and obtain a passport, a holder of temporary and permanent residency must have the residence for a minimum of  three years. This requirement can be combined with the application for permanent residency. (see article 148 of the constitution of Paraguay).

If all conditions are met, after one year of holding a permanent residency permit, a resident can apply for Paraguayan citizenship and a Paraguayan passport.

I’ll provide a bit more detail on Company Formation after obtaining temporary residency: In Paraguay, limited liability companies (LTD) are established. If you’re running a local business focused on the domestic market, we can help with opening a bank account and obtaining a fiscal ID. However, you can also set up a company with your existing bank account or services like Revolut if your income is not from Paraguay. In such cases, a fiscal ID may not be necessary. We also offer comprehensive accounting and legal services, provide real estate advice for living and business, and assist with obtaining driver’s licenses.

We begin work after the contract is signed, following the rules of EU remote contracts, with payment made to the company’s account. Payment stages include 50% upon contract signing, 30% 15 days before your departure to Paraguay, and 20% upon receiving a receipt confirming the submission of your residency and identity card documents. Our office is located in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, for current clients, and for new clients, we have offices in Tallinn, Estonia, and Oakland Park, Florida, USA.

If you embark on this journey with us, we support you at every stage, provide consultations, and ensure that all procedures are completed within the shortest legal timeframes. It’s important to take the step and go through this process with reliable partners. Thank you for listening to this episode of the audio guide. In the next episode, we will discuss the country’s economic profile, taxes, and Paraguay for business.

We were pleased to tell you about the path to a Paraguayan passport. This is Daniel, your host. In the next episode of our audio guide, we will discuss tax benefits, such as 0% tax on foreign-sourced income and a 10% VAT.

The post Episode 4 – The Ideal Path to Citizenship with Our Assistance. The Best Offer in South America appeared first on Living in Paraguay.

In this episode, we will explore what residency (Visa Nacional de Residencia, or VNR), the Cedula identity card, and the Paraguay passport offer. We will also discuss the advantages of Mercosur countries such as Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brasil and the travel opportunities they provide, including visa-free access to the EU and the possibility of obtaining Spanish citizenship.

Hello. I am the host of this audio guide, my name is Daniel. I represent Living in Paraguay, a high-class immigration consulting company. We offer the best services in the market for obtaining residency in Paraguay and tailor solutions to your needs and financial capabilities. I’m pleased to welcome you to our third episode, which is dedicated to the opportunities provided by residency, the Cedula identity card, and the Paraguay passport, both for living in the country and for travel, business, or gaining Spanish citizenship. We will also discuss Mercosur countries.

As a reminder, in previous episodes, we discussed the goals you can achieve with Paraguayan residency, the main requirements for residency in 2023, and we invite you to listen to them if these topics interest you. We are also open to your questions through private messages; you can find all the links in the information box.

So, what are the advantages and opportunities that Paraguayan residency and the Cedula card offer?

Let’s start with residency. Residency is granted for two years and is processed along with the ID card. This saves time, as we don’t handle residency separately. We use the same set of documents to process both applications simultaneously.

With your residency, you can establish a business in Paraguay, open an account in local banks in foreign currencies, and become a full-fledged resident of the country. We sometimes encounter requests where a company or business needs to be set up before obtaining residency. While this is possible, it’s not a straightforward procedure. However, this should not deter you from the need for residency. Residency makes it significantly easier to manage daily life, use banking services, establish a business, invest money, and access healthcare, among other things. Most importantly, residency for two years is your main step towards citizenship.

With the Cedula card and residency, you can travel to Mercosur countries without a visa and without your primary passport. You can visit countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and other Mercosur member states. This opens up all of South America for business and interactions. Additionally, many clients are interested in living in Mercosur countries, like Argentina. We can say that there are several ways to live in Argentina with Paraguayan residency, including permanent residence. So, for many, Paraguayan residency is a path to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, or any other Mercosur country of their choosing.

After two years of temporary residency, you can apply for permanent residency. For clients aiming for citizenship, this status is similar to temporary residency, so we won’t dwell on it in detail.

Now, let’s talk about the Paraguay passport and Paraguayan citizenship. The most exciting feature of this status is visa-free travel. The Paraguay passport provides visa-free access to 135+ countries, including the Schengen Area, the UK, Singapore, and many others. Furthermore, obtaining a Paraguay passport does not require you to renounce your previous citizenship; there’s no conflict here. This passport also facilitates obtaining longer-term visas, for example, in the United States.

Obtaining a Spanish passport based on Paraguayan citizenship is an interesting possibility. This is particularly appealing to those who wish to live in the European Union, including Spain, on a permanent basis. One way to acquire Spanish citizenship is by residing legally in the country 2 years having a Paraguayan passport.

Additionally, our company can assist with obtaining passports from other countries, based on your Paraguay passport.

We’re delighted to have shared the opportunities provided by residency, the Cedula, and the Paraguay passport with you. I’m Daniel. In the next episode of our audio guide, we will explain why Paraguay is the perfect path to a second citizenship with our assistance and why it’s the best offer in South America. Join us, and remember, you can always ask us questions through the available messaging apps.

The post Episode 3 – Opportunities Provided by Residency, Cedula, and Paraguay Passport appeared first on Living in Paraguay.

Welcome to the second episode of our audio guide dedicated to immigration to Paraguay and the services provided by LivinginParaguay.com. In the next 6 minutes, we will discuss immigration policies, the basis for obtaining residency, and the path to citizenship in 2023 for citizens of Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, and other countries that do not require a visa to enter Paraguay (European countries, Turkey, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, New Zeland, Israel, South Africa, Canada USA and south American countries).

In the previous episode, we discussed the types of requests we assist clients with, why people want to move to Paraguay, what goals they can achieve through residency, and the services we offer.

With me is your host, Daniel. I represent LivinginParaguay.com, a top-notch immigration consulting company. We offer the best service on the market for obtaining Paraguayan residency and tailor solutions based on clients’ requests and financial capabilities.

In October of last year, Paraguay introduced a new immigration law. It significantly simplified the process of applying for residency and the path to citizenship. Many sources still reference the old regulations. We often encounter clients who rely on outdated information regarding the basis for applying for residency and more. We want to explain what has changed and why it is now easier to obtain the necessary documents and apply for residency.

In 2023, the simplest basis for obtaining residency and starting the path to Paraguayan citizenship is having the appropriate documents and a personal desire, which is expressed by your presence at the immigration service when submitting your documents. It’s that simple. Essentially, anyone wishing to obtain residency no longer needs to make a $5,000 deposit in the Central Bank of Paraguay, nor do they need to apply for residency based on the status of a qualified professional. All that’s required is the collection of documents from the list and your personal presence. Among the documents you need to obtain in the authorities of your current citizenship are a police clearance certificate, a birth certificate, and a marriage certificate if you are married. If you are divorced, you do not need a marriage certificate. These requirements apply to individuals over 14 years of age. For individuals below this age, only a birth certificate is necessary. All these documents will be retained by the immigration service. The next requirement is for document legalization and apostille. We won’t delve into apostilles, but we’ll focus on the fact that not all countries are party to the Hague Convention. In such cases, legalization is required, as stipulated by your home country.

It’s important to mention that Paraguay considers cases with a criminal record, but it’s a case-by-case situation, and it’s crucial to understand all the nuances.

LivinginParaguay.com is the first company on the market that offers remote document acquisition services for our clients. Subsequently, the obtained documents are either translated into Spanish with our assistance through a notary. This service is included in the cost of any type of contract, and you don’t have to pay extra for it.

So, having these fresh and compliant documents, anyone can apply for residency in Paraguay. We’re not talking about local documents you receive while already in Paraguay as part of the application process. This involves about 15 certificates, and we take care of obtaining them while being with you at every local immigration service office.

Despite the ease of obtaining documents and submitting an application, few people decide to do it themselves. Another nuance that can complicate your path to residency is your current citizenship. Citizens of independent states such as Georgia, Russia, or Ukraine,EU, USA and other countries, for example, do not require a visa to enter Paraguay. Citizens of Armenia, Belarus, or Azerbaijan must obtain a visa for entry into Paraguay. For such clients, we also assist in obtaining a visa, but the cost of this procedure is equivalent to the cost of applying for residency. Therefore, with these clients, we often explore their needs and offer alternative options where obtaining residency and a passport to easily relocate is also possible.

In summary, in Paraguay in 2023, it’s easy to obtain residency, and it’s also easy to get a passport while maintaining your residency and adhering to the law. All of this is the result of Paraguay’s long-term policy aimed at attracting foreigners. For a long time, Paraguay has been attracting migrants, and their traces can be seen in the country, such as in the city of Encarnacion, where you can meet Japanese, German, Ukrainian, or Russian diasporas.

Paraguay also attracts foreigners for economic reasons. For example, there is a 0% tax on your income earned abroad in Paraguay. Previously, there were investment immigration programs in Paraguay that we cannot offer to clients now. However, this policy helped the country attract human capital, investments in the economy, and new specialists. Paraguay has no plans to stop. With a liberal government, a stable society, and economic opportunities, Paraguay is a great country to move to now and in the future.

We were pleased to tell you about the easiest basis for applying for residency. This is Daniel. In the next episode of our audio guide, we will talk about the opportunities provided by residency, the ID card, and Paraguay’s passport. We will also touch on Mercosur countries and the opportunities for travel and living in them, and talk a little about Spain. Join us. Also, remember that you can always ask us questions; we are available on all messengers.

The post Episode 2 – Changes in Laws and the Ideal Basis for Residency in 2023 appeared first on Living in Paraguay.

The purpose of this episode is to explore the values of our company developed over the years, our experience, our colleagues, our staff, the goals of our clients, and why it is crucial to understand your goal when it comes to immigration. We’ll delve into the significance of knowing what you want to achieve through residency, passports, citizenship, and the biometric documents issued by Paraguay.

We will also discuss why Paraguay is the ideal destination. It’s perfect for those who seek a plan B in the form of a functional residence permit and a backup passport. It’s a haven for those who want to move to a peaceful and stable country, as well as for those who wish to explore the world and live in different South American countries. Paraguay is the universal solution for people who value freedom, want business opportunities with minimal taxes, seek remote work, and aim for a calm and predictable business environment.

I am your audio guide host, and my name is Daniel.

I represent the company Living in Paraguay at https://www.livinginparaguay.com/.

One of the founding figures of the company is Andrea Carlo Volonteri, whom I’ll introduce to you indirectly. Andrea is the head attorney of the company and has been helping people obtain residency in Paraguay for over 23 years.

I represent the office focused on Eastern Europe and Russian-speaking clients. I’ll provide insights into what clients can expect, explain the process, and detail the services we offer.

We base all our services on current legislation. I assist clients in understanding their needs and help identify the services that can best satisfy those needs at the most competitive rates.

We aim to provide the best service by taking complete responsibility for all our clients’ needs. LivinginParaguay O is the only company that includes obtaining all the initial documents for residency, their apostille, and translation in the final price. We are the first company to work directly with overnment entities, eliminating any gaps or lack of control in document submission processes.

We always provide the company’s details, which you can request via messages. Our main office is located in Tallinn, Estonia, and you can verify that our company operates on the Estonian government’s website. We comply with European legislation that prevents unscrupulous companies from entering the market. We also have our Holding company in the USA, where it’s also challenging for companies to conduct business if they choose to be unscrupulous. We can issue contracts from both of these ompanies. (Livinginparaguay Europe or LIP holding Group LLC America)

Our office for existing clients is situated in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, and for new clients, it’s located in Tallinn, Estonia, and Albuquerque, USA. All the company’s details are provided on our website.

It’s an amazing and safe country where a liberal government combines with a strong currency, openness to foreigners, and easy of obtaining residency and citizenship.

So, what requests do we cater to, and what are the most common client goals?

The first goal is that clients seek alternative citizenship, an alternative passport. In Paraguay, it’s relatively easy to obtain a second citizenship compared to most other countries.

Paraguay has not changed its policies toward Russian citizens, for example, and acquiring citizenship typically takes around five years, often less, and is relatively uncomplicated.

The second goal is business immigration. This also involves obtaining temporary and permanent residency and citizenship. However, clients are interested in Paraguay’s tax opportunities, opening a company, and having an overseas bank account. In Paraguay, there is a 0% tax on foreign-earned income. These clients are also often interested in assistance with property and commercial real estate, as well as obtaining driver’s licenses.

Our clients are interested as well in Paraguay residence first, because with the Paraguayan ID card you can travel passport free , to all south American countries and can obtain Schengen VISA, US Visa, Australian Visa from Asuncion in few days.

And the third goal is relocation. Clients who want to obtain their residence permit faster, to start settling in more quickly. In Paraguay, you can stay immediately after applying for temporary residency with special confirmation that your documents have been accepted.

You can apply for temporary residency and the Cedula card in just five days, allowing you to legally reside in the country while awaiting permanent residency.

For those among the listeners of this audio guide who are our current clients, you may be familiar with the first question we ask: “What goal would you like to achieve with residency in Paraguay?” This helps us structure the dialogue right away and focus on the required services.

LivinginParaguay.com has been operating in the immigration market for over 20 years, and the company has its values and principles of operation. But for us, the ongoing and crucial task is to adapt the company’s activities to the clients’ requests.

We are grateful for the feedback and reviews we receive every day when interacting with clients. This has helped us identify the professional values that enable us to serve our clients at a high level.

Let’s begin with universal values that are indispensable to our work. This includes a high level of professionalism and competence.

Our team, over 20 years of work, has acquired deep knowledge of immigration laws and procedures. We continually update our knowledge and approaches to stay in line with evolving legislation and the demands of the innovative immigration services market. We often tell our clients that we control the situation to the maximum extent possible, as laws and markets change, and it’s crucial to react to these changes. The combination of these qualities helps us remain leaders and work for so long.

Additionally, we are the only company that works directly with all government entities. We do not use intermediary services. We operate exclusively within the legal timeframes. We cannot offer expedited document processing as it goes beyond the law. Our strict focus on legal compliance eliminates the possibility of document annulment, gaps, or errors. We always know where our client and their documents are in the process.

Second is the individual approach. As we mentioned earlier, it’s essential to understand each client’s request and respond to it individually. Even if a new client’s request appears similar to a previous one, there are always nuances. For instance, someone might want to live in Argentina while having Paraguayan residency. Others may be interested in building a business and working across all of South America. Some may want to relocate their entire family, which requires a family discount. There are no nuances we can ignore, so we take the time to understand how we can be of help to each individual.

Ethics, honesty, and transparency – we’ve grouped these together. As a European company, we don’t store personal data or contracts beyond the agreed-upon timeframe. Within two weeks, we completely erase all customer data. We adhere to European-style contracts and always follow them. In the field of immigration, business ethics are crucial for us. We will never refuse to provide assistance, share information, even if we understand that a person is not our client, but they have nowhere else to go for up-to-date information. Within our services, we provide clear and understandable information about the migration process, including all aspects without hidden details. We are always ready to discuss any nuance, even if it seems strange.

We also want to add innovations and flexibility here. For example, on the Russian-speaking market, we now offer a service for obtaining all initial documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and background checks. We provide this service remotely, completely turnkey.

Many clients are already in the immigration process, and it’s challenging for them to obtain these documents. We are the first company on the market to offer a full range of turnkey services.

We are currently in the process of updating our website and improving our content. We understand how important it is for our clients to have a beautiful and user-friendly website for self-study.

We want our professionalism to be reflected in our communication channels as well. We also involve technical support for clients, which means you can always ask questions and receive answers at any time in any convenient messenger.

We hope we have managed to introduce ourselves and present how we help and work with clients and what kind of business we are in this episode. We would be delighted to have you among our clients or provide you with a free consultation. In the next episode of our audio guide, we will talk about changes in Paraguay’s legal framework and the primary basis for obtaining residency in 2023, the starting point for the path to citizenship.

We welcome your questions, suggestions, and you can always message us privately on any
convenient messenger and platform.

Always at your service, LivinginParaguay https://www.livinginparaguay.com/
