— WHY WE EXIST

Most Paraguay-relocation content is wrong, outdated, or paid.

The English-speaking internet has a small handful of sites covering Paraguay relocation, and most of them fall into one of three buckets: outdated (pre-2022 figures, before the new residency law), paid (a "guide" funnelling you toward a US$ 5,000 lawyer fee), or vague (no concrete numbers, no dates, no sources). We started moveparaguay.com because we needed this guide for ourselves and could not find it. Now it is in 41 languages, fact-checked against the source documents, and updated whenever the government changes a fee.

— HOW WE VERIFY

Every number on this site has a source.

Population numbers come from the 2022 INE census. Real-estate figures are checked quarterly against Infocasas and Vivendi listings. Currency conversions use the Banco Central del Paraguay's tipo de cambio referencia, refreshed at every build. Tax rules cite the specific article of Ley 6380/2019 and its regulating decrees. Residency procedure follows the migration agency's published flow, including Resolución 0283/2026. The full list of sources is on our /sources/ page.

When a fact has no canonical government source — for example "how many Mennonites live in Paraguay" — we say so explicitly. Conservative midpoints, dated, and flagged as estimates.

— EXPERTISE

• Banking and FX. Account opening at Itaú, Continental, Sudameris; cambios; Wise pricing; CRS reporting status; crypto on/off-ramps.
• Real estate. The 6-step purchase flow for foreigners, escribano and notario costs, escritura pública, registry verification.
• Living in Paraguay. Healthcare (IPS + private), schools, internet quality by department, safety statistics, all 18 regions.

— EDITORIAL POLICY

Independent. Not affiliated. Not for sale.

We take no commission from immigration lawyers, real-estate agents, or banks, and we run no ads. One narrow exception: a small number of crypto on-ramp and escrow introductions, where we earn an introduction fee set by the partner. Each one is disclosed in writing before you transact, and the partners are listed on the [crypto page](/crypto/) — never anonymous, never baked into the editorial. There is no "premium" content behind a paywall. The rest of the site is funded by a small consulting practice: when readers want a personal walkthrough of their specific case, they reach out on WhatsApp or by email, and we charge for time.

If we recommend a bank, a notario, or a hospital, it is because we have used them or know people who have — no one pays to be named here. The crypto introductions are the only place money changes hands, and we flag them as such every time.

— LANGUAGES + REACH

41 locales. The same numbers in every one.

The site is published in 41 languages — the EU big six plus Nordic, Slavic, and the Asian HNW languages most relevant to Paraguay residency demand. Translations are done with care: every locale has hreflang annotations so search engines serve the right version, and every page carries the same dated facts (we update all 41 simultaneously when a fee changes).

Long-form context (legal nuance, how-to walkthroughs) sometimes stays in English when a high-quality translation requires extra review — we flag this on the page rather than ship a poor translation.
