Frequently Asked Questions
How much can Americans save with Paraguay residency?
Americans can save $50,000 to $200,000+ per year by utilizing Paraguay's territorial tax system, which taxes only Paraguay-sourced income at a flat 10% rate. Foreign-sourced income is completely tax-free in Paraguay.
Do Americans need to give up their citizenship?
No. Americans can hold Paraguay residency without renouncing US citizenship. However, the US taxes citizens worldwide regardless of residency, so Americans should use strategies like the FEIE and Foreign Tax Credits to minimize their burden.
What is the process for Americans to get Paraguay residency?
Americans can obtain Paraguay permanent residency in as little as 4-6 weeks. The process requires a clean criminal record, proof of income or a bank deposit of approximately $5,500, and basic documentation. No language test is required.
Is there an exit tax when leaving the United States?
The US does not have a traditional exit tax for residents who maintain citizenship. However, renouncing US citizenship triggers an expatriation tax on unrealized gains if you meet certain net worth or tax liability thresholds.

Paraguay has no minimum stay requirement to maintain residency. You only need to visit once every 3 years to keep your permanent residency active, making it one of the most flexible residency programs available.
