Paraguay
South America0 independent articlesSouth America's easiest, cheapest entry — open ownership, low tax and instant residency.
Paraguay is a landlocked, low-cost, low-tax haven that has become a favourite for residency-and-diversification buyers: foreigners own with the same rights as citizens (just a passport and tax number), residency is among the world's simplest, and both Asunción condos and vast Chaco ranch land are cheap. It's a frontier/emerging market — liquidity and depth are limited — but entry costs and yields are compelling.
Can foreigners buy?
Fully open; foreigners buy with identical rights (passport + RUC tax number), no residency required. Simple SUACE permanent- residency programme.
Taxes & buying costs
Transfer/notary costs low; flat 10% income tax; low property taxes; strong repatriation freedom.
What makes it unique
Unrestricted ownership, a flat 10% tax regime, and one of the world's easiest residency programmes — at frontier prices.
