I visited Piribebuy 3 weeks ago to meet Simon,did a three hour busdrive from Asucion,very nice place.Mucho tranquillo😎.Paraguay is a warm welcoming beautiful country.Thanks for the info Simon!
I've been twice to Paraguay this year and I'm planning to live there, so will be looking into Piribebury next time. Will get in touch around july yo check possibilities of property over there. Thank you for sharing your experiences
Hi Simon, you´re doing a great job promoting Piribebuy! I´ve been to Paraguay three times now and absolutely love the place. Last year I obtained my cedula and will be coming down in December to stay for a few months to take a closer around the country. I´ll definately be having a look at Piribebuy and would love to buy you a few beers if you´re in town. Keep the vlogs coming!
Simon thank you so much for sharing. I hope I can visit soon. Love this park with the church and the pool you shared. Seems like haven to go for walks and enjoy the nature. Is it really hot like 40C from November to April ? Can please take us for tour of day in your life? How dose that look like? What foods you eat daily? 💛
Thank you, yes it is a very nice place to be living and I am pleased that it is my home. Does get warm, though, 40c December to March, but not every day. I will certainly do a day in the life video in the future. Will have to learn how to edit first...
Good video Simon. I’ve have passed through Piribebuy many times and I also like that area. My wife’s family lives near Ypacarai and we would go to Pinamar therefore passing through. I am not from PY but am looking to spend more time there in the future. I’m 62 years old and retired so it might be time.
Nice voice. Would have liked to see more of the town I stead of just the park. Does it exist a list of rooms, small apartments for rent? Thank you! I'm thinking of going at the end of November for six months!
There are no apartments or a list of places to rent. Small houses though can be found with a bit of searching. Being a tourist centre much of what is up for renting is aimed at the weekend visitors
Hi thanks for the video, really informative. how would you say the mindset of the locals are towards foreigners? especially the ones lacking in spanish skills?
@@AntonJalonen thanks. The locals are on the whole very welcoming of new comers, especially those that take an interest in the country and it's people. They are very understanding of those who don't speak Spanish, helpful and happy to help people pick it up.
Holla Simon. Simon you are Paraguayan resident or do you have citizenship already and as Paraguayan citizen you can only have dual citizenship with Spain and Italy. If you are resident do you pay taxes 10% to Paraguay or your country of origin ? I came across information that as resident to have bank account you have to report monthly with accountant what charges you made on your cards and account so its track and trace for Global digital infrastructure frame works credit system. How dose it work for you daily activity if you do not pay everything cash but then there is no activity for banks to help you for residency status. As permanent resident you have to live in the country and pay the bills. Any information is appreciated please, as you live there more than 20 years. Thank you so much 💗
Hi, yes I am a permanent resident and have been for a long time. I keep my bank accounts outside Paraguay and the small amount of money I earn is from overseas. Paraguay has territorial taxes which don't apply to funds earnt elsewhere
@@simonsparaguay thank you so much. I am learning and listening to different Nomads and Expats how they do things so its different experiences lol. As they say that with temporary residency you need to have some filing 0% tax monthly to be eligible for permanent residency as paper trail and have bank account. For temporary residency you have to show up every year and for permanent every 3 years. And it seems if you buy house bellow $100,000 you do not have to report it or pay taxes on it either in your tax paying country ? and they will allow you to keep monthly max $1000 on account in the bank. Thank you 💛
@@monikapetrikova3076 Some interesting things you are getting told. Where are you, USA? I know that they seek out their citizens where ever they are for tax. Never heard about filling out a tax return for temp res, you don't need that, but I guess your home country might. Once you get temp and have a cedula you can open a bank account, then 2 years later apply for permanent residency
Hardware, white goods and chemists there are plenty, locally owned and national chains. There are a number of dentists around town, would have to enquire which are the better ones. As for doctors there is a small public hospital, but you would be much better off seeing the doctors at the private clinic. Not a lot in the way of ambulances though
@@jamesm7505 Just a little town but has National Hospital and Private Clinic. You would want to go private. It's pay as you use, don't know exact costs, but not expensive
@@bobwa399 for a basic town house $30,000 (if you are just looking for something sinple and not fussy where it is) or you could buy a 12x30 plot outside town and have one built, $10,000 - $13,000
@@simonsparaguay I am from Paraguay and I am not sure either. However, it was a military custom in the past to paint trees, fences, poles, lampposts, and everything standing around in white half way up. For the trees, I wonder if it has anything to do with treating bugs or something like that,
@@jgonz260 I have heard the bug replant tale but usually when I've asked it seems to be about appearance. A row of white posts considered smarter than a bunch of tree trunks. .
In Europe we paint it also white, it is to prevent the bark from bursting by strong sunshine, especially in winter on a sunny day this is a problem, I guess it has the same reason in Paraguay, since the trees aren`t in a forrest protected by the shadow of other trees.
Somewhere in the region USD25,000 to USD50,000. Depending on where and the quality. Silly me misread the question. That's costs to buy a simple, basic house

Hey Simon.. Great content.. Is there a Doctor, dentist, chemist, ambulance, hardware.. oh and somewhere you buy white goods? etc?
Hardware, white goods and chemists there are plenty, locally owned and national chains. There are a number of dentists around town, would have to enquire which are the better ones. As for doctors there is a small public hospital, but you would be much better off seeing the doctors at the private clinic. Not a lot in the way of ambulances though
How are medical services in your town?
Costs?
@@jamesm7505 Just a little town but has National Hospital and Private Clinic. You would want to go private. It's pay as you use, don't know exact costs, but not expensive

@@simonsparaguay What will be the price of a plot? at the minimum. is $10k in USD?
@@bobwa399 yes, for a plot. That's the standard price around here. It is possible with some searching to find places for less
Is village gossip the number one hobby there?
I'm not sure about hobby, but a lot of conversations are about local goings on
Why have they painted the bottom half of all those tree trunks white?
It's just what people do here. I think it's supposed to make trees look smarter. I don't paint any of my trees
Lime paint is common in Brazil Paraguay and Argentina. It prevents ants step up and harm the tree.
Soy paraguayo y ni yo se para que los pintan asi..😂😂 tengo creido que los protege de la hormiga o algo

How much a small single family house will cost to rent in this town?
Somewhere in the region USD25,000 to USD50,000. Depending on where and the quality.

@@erbalumkan369 and don't I look foolish. That's cost to buy a simple, basic house, not to rent! $200 - $700 would be a more sensible reply
