Frequently Asked Questions
How much can Taiwanese save with Paraguay residency?
Taiwanese citizens can save $35,000 to $140,000+ per year. With Taiwan's income tax up to 40% and expanding overseas income taxation, Paraguay's territorial system with 0% foreign income tax provides meaningful savings.
Do Taiwanese need to give up their citizenship?
No. Taiwanese citizens can hold Paraguay permanent residency while keeping their ROC passport. Paraguay is one of the few countries that maintains formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, strengthening the bilateral relationship.
What is the process for Taiwanese to get Paraguay residency?
Taiwanese citizens can obtain permanent residency in Paraguay within 4-6 weeks. Requirements include a criminal record certificate, proof of income, a bank deposit of approximately $5,500, and standard documents. Paraguay's diplomatic ties with Taiwan facilitate the process.
Is there an exit tax when leaving Taiwan?
Taiwan does not impose a formal exit tax on individuals. However, overseas income above TWD 1 million may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax for residents. Establishing non-residency eliminates this obligation.
How long do Taiwanese need to stay in Paraguay?
Paraguay requires no minimum stay for permanent residents. A visit once every 3 years is sufficient, and Paraguay's recognition of Taiwan makes it an especially welcoming destination for Taiwanese citizens.
