Frequently Asked Questions
How much can Norwegians save with Paraguay residency?
Norwegians can save $60,000 to $260,000+ per year. Norway's income tax up to 47%, wealth tax of 0.95-1.1% on global net assets, and exit tax on shares make Paraguay's territorial system extremely attractive.
Do Norwegians need to give up their citizenship?
No. Norwegians can hold Paraguay permanent residency while retaining their Norwegian passport. Norway now permits dual citizenship, and foreign residency has no effect on citizenship status.
What is the process for Norwegians to get Paraguay residency?
Norwegian citizens can obtain permanent residency in Paraguay within 4-6 weeks. The process requires an apostilled politiattest, proof of income, a bank deposit of approximately $5,500, and standard documentation.
Is there an exit tax when leaving Norway?
Yes, Norway has an exit tax on unrealized gains in shares and financial instruments. The tax is calculated at departure but payment can be deferred for up to 12 years with security. This is a key consideration for Norwegian investors.
How long do Norwegians need to stay in Paraguay?
Paraguay requires no minimum stay for permanent residents. You only need to visit once every 3 years, which appeals to Norwegians seeking to escape the wealth tax without strict residency obligations elsewhere.
