Editorial standards

Who is responsible

This site is written and edited by Yannick Schroth, who spends regular time in Paraguay and went through the residency process personally. The publishing entity is a Wyoming LLC. Full contact and entity details are in the legal notice.

Every article carries a visible author byline and publication date, and articles that have been substantially revised carry a modification date as well.

How we research

• Primary source first. Laws, resolutions and official requirements are cited with number and date, for example Ley 6984/2022 or Resolución DNM 407/2026, and we link the responsible authority.
• Cross-checked. Figures and deadlines are checked against several independent sources before they are published. Where a contradiction remains, we write it down rather than smoothing it over.
• Dated, not evergreen-by-pretense. Rules in Paraguay change. Where a figure is current as of a particular date, we say so, and we tell you to confirm it close to your own filing date.
• No unverifiable claims. Anything we cannot confirm in the primary source is either left out or explicitly hedged and attributed.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, please tell us. We check the report against the primary source. Where it is justified, we correct the article promptly.

For changes that matter to a decision, meaning anywhere someone could have acted differently on the earlier version, we mark the correction with its date in the article itself. We do not quietly delete incorrect statements.

Independence and how we are funded

Our main income is the relocation and residency service described under services, paid by clients directly. A small number of external partners pay us a commission, and every one of them is listed below.

Commission-bearing links are labeled where they appear, not only on this page. We do not publish paid guest posts, and we do not sell placements or rankings in our articles. A commission never changes what we would tell you about a provider, and no partner sees an article before it is published.

What we are not

We are not a law firm, a tax advisory practice or an accountancy firm, and nothing here is individual legal or tax advice. We coordinate the Paraguayan side of a move and introduce you to licensed local professionals, who provide the substantive advice under their own responsibility.

One thing we will not tell you what you may want to hear: if you are a US citizen or green-card holder, moving to Paraguay does not end your US tax filing obligations, because the United States taxes on the basis of citizenship rather than residence.

Our partners, and which of them pay us

The tax advisors, lawyers and notaries we coordinate with in Paraguay pay us nothing. We make the introduction; they provide the service under their own responsibility. The partners below are the ones who do pay us a commission in some form, and they are the complete list. Where they appear on this site, they are labeled “Ad”.

• notarity · Affiliate partner
  An online notarization platform. notarity itself is not the notary: it connects you with a partner notary, and the notarial contract is between you and that notary. If you book through our link we receive a commission on notarity’s platform fee. The agreement expressly excludes the notary’s own fee from that calculation, so we earn nothing on what the notary charges. The rate itself is confidential under the affiliate agreement, so we name the commission rather than its size. Your price is unaffected and the placement is labeled “Ad.”. The conflict worth naming runs the other way here: we only earn when someone books, yet the guide states up front that notarity cannot apostille the original birth certificate, police record or marriage certificate that Paraguay’s temporary-residency filing requires. That limit costs us bookings and is published anyway.
• Reloship · Affiliate partner
  Reloship compares quotes from several international moving companies. The comparison is free for you, and if you book through our link we receive a commission, calculated as a percentage of the freight. Your price is unaffected. The placement is labeled "Ad." where it appears. Because that commission rises with the size of a shipment while our shipping guide tells most readers to bring less, we keep the placement to a single spot, positioned after the cost calculation rather than before it, and our customs-clearance service is priced independently of who carries the freight.
• Fluido Spanish · Affiliate partner
  A Spanish school in Asunción. If you sign up through our link, we receive a commission. Mentions of Fluido on this site are labeled “Ad”.
• CarRent Paraguay · Commission partner
  Car rental in Paraguay. CarRent pays us a commission for bookings we refer. Mentions of CarRent on this site are labeled “Ad”.
• Hotel Canino 1870 · Booked through us
  Dog boarding near Asunción. Stays are booked and billed through us at our own price, which includes a margin on the kennel’s rate.
• Estate agents (property search) · Commission partners
  In our property-search service we work with estate agents (inmobiliarias) in Paraguay, who may pay us a commission when a purchase or rental they offer goes ahead. This does not change the price you pay, and you are never obliged to choose a property they offer.
• Our US LLC partner · Affiliate partner
  Our US LLC partner forms US LLCs; we do not name it publicly for now. For every formation we introduce, the partner pays us a fixed commission. It is already inside the price the partner bills you directly ($1,000 for Wyoming or New Mexico, $1,100 for Florida), so going through us costs you nothing more than booking with the partner yourself. References to the partner are labeled "Ad." The pull worth naming: we earn only when an LLC is formed, while our own articles say an LLC is not a tax lever for work done in Paraguay and does not help US persons with their US tax. Those statements stay, and the intro call can end with "you do not need one."
