Frequently Asked Questions
Is Paraguay safe to invest in?
Yes. Paraguay achieved investment grade status in 2024, has a stable economy, controlled inflation and one of the lowest public debts in the region. It is considered one of the safest countries for investment in South America.
Do I need to speak Spanish or Guarani?
Not necessarily. In major cities, especially in business areas, many people speak Portuguese. Additionally, our advisors offer full support in Portuguese.
How much do I need to start investing?
It depends on the type of investment. Off-plan properties start from US$50,000 with a 30% down payment. For tax residency, the initial investment is even lower.
How does taxation work for Brazilians?
Paraguay adopts territorial taxation: you only pay tax on income generated within the country. Foreign income is not taxed. The maximum income tax rate is 10%.
Can I keep my investments in Brazil?
Yes, you can hold investments in both countries. Tax residency in Paraguay does not require you to give up your assets in Brazil; it only optimizes the taxation of new income.
