Nice. That is good to hear. I keep telling @nico peligro that Paraguay should be on his list.

That's great, I'm just having trouble finding a house recently.

Ye pgw is good聽 but everyone needs money to settle with or without a permit , how much u estimate one month rent one bedroom stodio?thnx

@EricVonT聽 Very cheap

@EricVonT Very cheap
-@Yerkes Neakle

Could you please give a price range?

On how much rent would be. Really depends on the place and the area. For a one bed place in Asuncion you would be looking at $200 - $400 per month. Bit more for something really nice. Then as soon as you get away from Asuncion prices quickly drop off.

I'd like to extend my gratitude to our best friend from Taiwan. The project Che Tapyi of total $320m does great favour to shelter our people from bad living conditions. We are not only allies but also brothers.

LONG LIVE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN PARAGUAY AND TAIWAN!

@Cheryl聽 Outside of Asunci贸n things are cheaper.聽 Encarnaci贸n is 100,000 people and a resort area by many locals.聽 A 1 bedroom unfurnished is $150 a month.聽 I pay $500 per month for a 3, which is just a bit more than what I paid for a hostel in Asunci贸n.聽 If you want to go really cheap you could find it in smaller rural areas.

My name is Dutchie, and I am from the Netherlands, but currently in Thailand. I am interested to move to Paraguay, (probably Ciudad del Este), after have been for 31 years in Thailand. It is because of changing immigration rules and various other matters that I would like to prepare my move.

Is it correct that I have to deposit 5.000$ at a bank while the authorities processing my visa in Paraguay? Where do I have to request my visa (Ascuntion?) and in which place could I best stay until my visa will be granted?

I do have a small retirement pension from 750 - 800 Euros per month from the Netherlands. Will that be enough to stay in Paraguay permanently?

Hope to hear your reply soon.聽 聽

No, you don't need to deposit money any more in a bank account.聽 聽You should be able to come to Paraguay busing your EU documents.聽 Like most of us, you'll have to leave every 90 days and come back in, much like many do in Thailand.聽 You will have to get your criminal background from the Thai national police and have it legalized by your nearest Paraguay Consolate/Embassy.聽 Same for your Birth Certificate, or Apostilled by the Netherlands.聽 Same for any Divorce Decrees or Death Certificates.

You will first apply for Temporary Residency.聽 Migracions takes about 3 months to process each application.聽 After 2 years (18 months) you can apply for Permenant residency.聽 A requirement at that time is that you show you will not be a financial burden on Paraguay.聽 Regarding retirement, you must show an average retirement of 2.5 million Guarani per month.聽 If my calcualtions are right, 750 Euro is 5.88 million Gs so you should be good.聽 It is also possible to use the $5,000 deposit in a PY bank if you prefer.聽

Paraguay is MUCH different then Thailand.聽 Fairly conserverative, not as hot as Thailand, and I suspect Thailand is more advanced but haven't been there for a long time.

Let me know how I can help.

My mother is thinking about moving to Paraguay, not sure how much she will get as聽 retirement but surely much more than 2.5million guaran铆es.. She is from Spain so I Guess it's gonna be easier to get permanent residence. I have a question for you, for those Who know the country, there's any place which doesn't frost? Like, any place that doesn't go beneath 7-10celsius? Thinking in growing tropical plants that don't resist freezing...

@Isle Joyeuse

She might find adjusting to the Paraguayn Spanish odd at first as it's more of a Rioplantnese type Spanish with聽 Guarani thrown in for added fun.

It did snow in Encarnaci贸n in 1963.聽 That city is in the most southern part of the coutry.聽 It will get cool enough to need a coat or hoodie if walking much during the winter.聽 It is, however warm enough that it is green year around.聽 An aspect I love is that there will be some tree or bush with flowers almost all the time.

@EricVonT聽 I rented at a hostel in Asunci贸n and paid Gs300,000 a month for a studio, all utilities, cleaning, etc paid.聽 I had to pay for the laundering of my sheets.

I am renting an unfurnished, 3 bedroom in Encarnaci贸n for聽 Gs350,000 a month and pay utilities.聽 I could cut that to about Gs150,000 a month if I moved to a 1 bedroom.聽 In smaller cities the price will go up or down depending on the availability of apartments.

@ddow01

Thank you very much for this valuable information. I have just started to explore this site "大咖福利影院".

There are so many things to discover that it will take some time to prepare and absorb the information in making the decision to move to Paraguay.

My visa in Thailand will expire in January 2025. Immigration rules and requirements are changing rapidly in Thailand.

@hvandijk6

Indeed I do have more questions about moving from Thailand to Paraguay. For the Thai Immigration regulations I have 600.000 Baht at the Bangkok Bank for renewing my visa. If I leave Thailand I would like to transfer the money to a reliable bank in Paraguay.

Do I have to open an account first, and which currency should I use to make the transfer (Euro or Dollar account)?

Furthermore, do I have to communicate all my questions via this site or is it possible to use my email for further information?聽 聽

@hvandijk6 Hello. You will only be able to open an account in Paraguay if you obtain your residence and ID card (cedula) first. Most banks will only allow you to open a dollars account first and then an euros account, but that is to be enquired with the banks when you get to that stage.聽

@hvandijk6 are you a South African expat?

@Sally Romero

Thank you very much for your fast response. Could you please give me some advice how to move to Paraguay from Thailand. My nationality is Dutch (The Netherlands) and I have been in Thailand since 1992.

-- Do I have to change the money in Dollars and take it cash with me from Thailand to Paraguay on the

plane? I don't think that will be allowed.

-- There is an Paraguayan Embassy in Bangkok to arrange a visum.

-- How do I find a place to stay, for example in Assunction for a couple of months, to arrange my stay

聽 聽permanently and fulfill the immigration requirements? Eventually I would like to move to Ciudad del

聽 聽Este.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some more information.

Thank you for your question.

No, I am from the Netherlands, but I have been in Thailand since 1992. I have just posted an answer up here at this forum. I do wish to have my inquiries via email, but I am not sure if that will work out.

@ddow01

I do apologize, but I really do have some more questions. A little further down I have been asked more questions, but I am not familiar with forums that much. So I do hope to gather some more information.聽

has anyone applied for residency with a negative criminal record ? if yes how did it go ?

@Yerkes Neakle

Hello.... I am an American聽 living聽 in Taiwan聽 seriously聽 thinking聽 of moving聽 back to Latin America.聽 聽Lived in Costa聽 Rica before聽 but getting residency too expensive聽 Yo no soy un millionario.

@sheldonhickman2002

聽 Paraguay is much cheaper the CR but the medical isn't on par with them.聽 Rather quiet with nothing like the night life that (used to be) in Tiawan.聽 I can't speak for there now, but had 2 wonderful years 50 years ago.

@sheldonhickman2002

From what I understand based on a FaceBook forum, it depends on the crime and how long it has been since the conviction.聽 Sally, who replied other posts in this forum, is an attorney and I would be confident in her responses. Try @Sally Romero.聽 Not sure if we can direct message here.

@ddow01

Crime ? Conviction ? Wow.... I just said I was considering聽 moving to Paraguay.聽 What is going on ?

@ddow01

Night life really fizzled out , people聽 aren't聽 spending聽 like before聽 . It was聽 kind of sad I went to an entertainment/ nightlife zone it was very vibrant聽 in the 90s ....its a ghost town now.聽 Sad. But that's not my scene anymore聽 any way.

@ddow01O

I was misdiagnosed聽 twice here and xenophobic聽 dentists聽 sent me on my way leading聽 me to believe聽 all was well when it wasn't... " You speak good Chinese聽 blah, blah, blah all smiles聽 etc... its luck of the draw here
