Be careful. My wife and I went to Paraguay for the residency visa. Our attorney Jeronimo Finestra was very nice at first. After 6 months of no progress we left. I have about $10000 in a bank account there that I will probably never see and I just wrote it off at this point as a waste of our time and $20000.
Be careful. I went down to Paraguay with my Taiwanese wife to do the residency visa. We were told it would not take long. We decided to head back to the U.S. after about 6 months of no progress. I still have $10000 in a bank account down there and my attorney Jeronimo Finestra has blown me off. Still no residency and I'm writing it off as about a $20000 loss and a waste of our time. He kept wanting more money to hire what he called a "fixer." A person that had political connections and could move things along. I agreed once and when I declined paying additional money for the fixer a second time he stopped helping.
Jeronimo Finestra is a scammer. I had a terrible experience with him as well. In fact, almost all of the agencies are scammers. My story is long and awful as well.
The story sounds very fake and implausible. Nobody would just write off $20,000 as if it was $300. Also, why would someone assume that you could magically get the permanent residency within six months?

@@TheWanderingInvestor oh ok.. But is there any specific reason for that? And it's no where written on their website or any article regarding this. So indian citizens are not eligible for residency program by investment?

Very interesting video and very informative. Is Alek's services still available? Are we able to buy land in Paraguay? Can Alek help with this also? I'm looking to go there in December. Any information you can provide would be great; love what you are doing and I signed up for newsletter.
@@TheWanderingInvestor Its unfortunate but would love to see some content from Paraguay. I knew very little about this country but the more I look into it, it seems like a really nice place.

With the new law since 19 october 2022 shouldn't invest in Paraguay anymore. Many people are leaving the country and no new ones are coming because of the new law. Houses and land are no longer so easy to sell.
Judging by the other comments, seems like there's lots of scammers in the space. How confident are you that your Aleksandr is legit? Are you happy to vouch for him?
@@DeSteffe Changes happened this morning unfortunately. The new programme seems to be coming into effect from November 😕. It’s still cheap and doable, but will require more trips.
@@TheWanderingInvestor so now you absolutely need to deposit $5000? Can you use that money later or do you need to maintain the amount in a paraguay bank? I’m on a fixed income, so that is actually a lot of money to have tied up…

Do you live in Paraguay now? If so, how are you finding the country?

I have heard that you can cancel your residency process, and with the receipt from migraciones withdraw the deposit from the bank
how far back does the police report have to be. thank you for the video
3 months
Don't use Lorena Laterra. I am a victim. There are many others.
Hello, please tell us about the other ma Lawyers.
Will temporary residency lead to citizenship without the investment? If so how do I get the temporary residency visa?
You need to actually live there for a few years to get the citizenship
Sir send to me full detail about residency.and how much its cost.o live in Pakistan'
I contacted aleksandr, however he said it is complicated process for indian citizen, and he can't provide help. 😔
Yes. Paraguay is not keen on immigration from South Asia.

I just got here today and need help with permanent residency
Send aleksandr an email. His email is in the description.
JW Smith: I am also just arriving now. Have you gotten anywhere already in the past 2 months?
i'm trying to hire an agent to help me move there. anywhere or anyone you can recommend?
Yes. Send an email to Aleks: aleksandr@thewanderinginvestor.com
As I understand this residency program was suspended as of October 18th.
Yes. I’ve been sending updates to everyone who contacted Aleksandr.
@@TheWanderingInvestor Its unfortunate but would love to see some content from Paraguay. I knew very little about this country but the more I look into it, it seems like a really nice place.
Hi, then has the Paraguayan permanent residency program already changed, not next year?
@@jesusisking6186 Right now it's frozen since yesterday. The immigration authorities will soon give an update on how they will implement and interpret the new rules. Send Aleksandr an email and he'll keep you posted.

shouldn't invest in Paraguay anymore.
Many people are leaving the country and no new ones are coming because of the new law. Houses and land are no longer so easy to sell.
Can a tourist buy a property in Paraguay?
Yes
Any restricted citizenships?
This works for OECD people. Not really for others.
Will these changes effect the path from permanent Resident to citizenship?
No. But it’s a complicated path. Citizenship is not easy to obtain at all. Don’t do it for citizenship, do it for the PR.
The reason is probably because of the Germans who murdered that entire family last year near Asuncion.... that's why they changed it
Judging by the other comments, seems like there's lots of scammers in the space. How confident are you that your Aleksandr is legit? Are you happy to vouch for him?
He’s helped a few of my clients obtain residency. The risk going into this venture now is rather delays due to everyone rushing and sudden changes.
@@TheWanderingInvestor Thanks for the response. I've just sent him a mail.

@@TheWanderingInvestor unlikely that we'd make it to Paraguay by next month. Do you know what the changes will entail?
@@DeSteffe I’ll send an email to people who contacted Aleksandr with what we know for now
So, you can substitute a Bachelor's degree instead of doing a $5,000 deposit
You could. Not anymore. The news rules are now in place. Aleksandr can help with the new process as well.
