      I am from Brazil and I can tell you, I am also planning to movo to Paraguay. Too much violence here, the brazilian money is falling and falling , corruption is getting worse and worse. Prices are getting higher and higher , public health is caos, education as well, big cities are even worse, private health care is extremelly expensive. Now the government is legalizing drugs consumption so you can see what it will become..A couple can spend easily 500,00 dollars in supermarket a month. Taxes are very high, that's whay so many people (brazilians as well as foreigners are leaving Brazil and taking their money with them). Sorry to disappoint you.

    I read somewhere, or saw on another video that a criminal records check is required and that you may be refused entry if you have a conviction. It was not clear if that was any conviction, or just certain felonies, and what type of check was acceptable. Some clarity on that point may help people.

    • @adventurefreaksss
      @adventurefreaksss  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most countries perform a background check however what felonies determine ineligibility depends on the country and will require research / talking to a legal professional. Thank you for viewing!

      Hi and sorry for the late reply: Generally spoken that should be doable, but I cannot tell you if the medication you need will all be available in Paraguay. Renting a house on ground floor should be doable as well, although the houses over here usually are not "prepared" for inhabitants needing a wheelchair. Sidewalks in Asunción are rarely really suitable for wheelchairs. So it might be difficult getting around.

      @@ABDELHADINDIF Hi friend, I'm also from the US & planning to get Paraguay TR. Can you please tell me your agent who help u to get the TR? It costs $500 for the agent service and total costs from govt fee to the agent fee is 600$ as you said? That sounds good while other agent charges over $1,200 or more. Please tell me your agent's info. As far as I know, you only have to stay in Paraguay once per year to keep the TR and once per 3 yr for PR, but you need to report your revenue/income to the govt MONTHLY even you have no revenue or all revenue are foreign sources which are 0% tax, and did your agent also charge a fee to help u report this monthly revenue to the Paraguay govt? Some agent charges $30/mo for that monthly revenue (accounting) service, what's the best agent service fee you can find for that monthly reporting or post-letter forward service, open a bank service, etc? I'm eagerly want to know your agent. Thank you bro!

    also mit 800-1000 dollar p/monat machst du absolut keine grossen sprünge, insbesondere wenn man dann noch zur miete wohnt. noch ein beispiel zu lebensmittel preisen, 1kg tomaten kosten zwischen 20000-30000 gs das entspricht etwa 3 euros was alles andere als billig ist. auch viele andere lebensmittel sind bei weitem teurer als in deutschland. liebe leute wenn ihr wirklich die absicht habt hierherzukommen dann macht erstmal längere ferien hier damit ihr euch selbst ein bild machen könnt von allem und hört nicht einfach ungeprüft auf solche aussagen wie hier gehört. wir haben schon einige kennengelernt welche sich ein völlig falsches bild von paraguay gemacht haben und hier schiffbruch erlebt haben und ihr ganzes geld verloren haben. also vorsicht bei solch unkritischen äusserungen über paraguay wie in diesem video.

    You left out entertainment this time but added healthcare. Which is huge subject for retirees. Healthcare costs and quality level standards should be in all your interviews. Although that would be difficult for regular people to assess. So maybe get those data from other organizations such as WHO. The utilities part did not include water and garbage. Since she purchased the property then property tax, and price per sq. ft. or mt. would be great.
    I watched other videos and one of the main things that is a major advantage is tax. Apparently you are not taxed income derived from outside the country. They say that setup a corporation outside Paraguay and transfer your profits in, tax free. This is juxtaposed to Argentina. Where once you become a citizen you are taxed forever and you cannot revoke your citizenship even if you never move back to Argentina.
    Anyway, great interview as always. Thanks.

      @@adventurefreaksss No. Not yet. I'm 59. Next month I will be 60. Then in 18 months I will be eligible to apply for my social security. I currently have a business and I pay myself less than $10k a year. I do this to keep myself in poverty level which allows me to not have to file income tax. I will be closing my business because it is purely hands-on. I will start a new business that will be less hands on and I can hire business managers to handle the business which requires only less than 8 hours per week if that. The SS check I will use as the legitimate steady income to retire in Paraguay, establish residency and obtain another passport.
      Anyway, on the video I noticed that Sonja is quoting you in Euro. But you put down in USD. Also I made notes when you interviewed Simon but his utilities were 107USD in a rural area and Sonja is at 25euro close to Asuncion. That is a wide discrepancy. I apologize if I seem to be nit picking.
      Again great interview. Thanks.
