Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How much does the Tax-Free Business Setup cost?

The Tax-Free Business Setup is approximately $6,600, which includes Paraguay residency, tax registration and RUC number, virtual office in PY, lease contract in PY, USA LLC formation including state filings, registered agent services, BOI, EIN registration, virtual office in US with lease agreement, and banking advisory. Importantly, this package includes a full one-year subscription covering all maintenance services - there are no additional costs for the entire first year. The subscription renewal is only paid one year after starting your Tax-Free Business Setup process. After the first year, you'll need to maintain your structure with ongoing costs for virtual offices, lease contract, registered agent, state fees, and IRS form filing. We offer subscription package to cover these maintenance costs so you can focus on your business rather than bureaucracy. Additionally, converting from temporary to permanent Paraguay residency after two years involves additional costs.

How long does the entire process take?

The complete Tax-Free Business Setup is delivered within approximately 4 months from the moment of application in Paraguay. We need a minimum of two weeks to prepare all the documents on the Paraguayan side before your single trip to Paraguay to apply for residency and complete all necessary procedures.

Do I need to visit Paraguay multiple times?

Usually people have to visit Paraguay at least twice to finish the residency process, but thanks to our streamlined process we can reduce it to just one short visit. However, after two years, you'll need to visit Paraguay again to apply for permanent residency. Once you obtain permanent residency, you must visit Paraguay at least once every 3 years (this can be just one day) to maintain your resident status. From a global perspective, Paraguay has some of the most benevolent residency maintenance rules, requiring very minimal effort to maintain your residency and all the benefits that come with it. In practice, many people end up spending much more time in Paraguay than required - numerous digital nomads make Paraguay one of their primary bases due to the low cost of living, excellent food, and growing expat community.

What can I expect from your service?

We provide comprehensive guidance for obtaining all necessary documents and offer complete legal support in Paraguay - no Spanish required. Our lawyers handle everything locally, and a private driver accompanies you throughout the process. Beyond residency, we also handle your tax registration, USA LLC formation, and provide banking advisory services. The entire Paraguay portion is typically completed in 3-4 hours with one visit to Asunción, and we ensure secure delivery of all documents via DHL.

Who is this setup for?

The Tax-Free Business Setup is perfect for digital nomads, online entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone earning income online who wants to optimize their tax situation legally. It's ideal for people who value location independence, want to reduce their tax burden through territorial taxation, and prefer operating through a USA LLC structure while maintaining flexibility in where they live and work.

How does Paraguay's territorial taxation work?

Paraguay uses territorial taxation, meaning only income earned within Paraguay is subject to taxation. Foreign income is neither taxed nor reported, making it ideal for digital nomads earning income abroad. You can maintain tax residency without living in Paraguay.

What are the requirements for maintaining tax residency in Paraguay?

To maintain tax residency in Paraguay, you need to fulfill the requirements for your temporary/permanent residency and file monthly tax reports (a very simple, repetitive process that takes a maximum of 2 minutes every month and can be delegated if needed). There is no minimum stay requirement. What is more important is that you won't become a tax resident of any other country. Paraguay's territorial taxation system means that even as a tax resident, foreign income is not taxed or reported, making it ideal for digital nomads.

What banking options are included?

Due to KYC and AML regulations, we cannot directly open bank accounts for you. However, we provide comprehensive banking advisory services, including which banks to approach, required documentation, application processes, and guidance on maintaining compliance with international banking requirements. We help you understand the best banking options for your USA LLC structure.

Is Paraguay safe?

Yes, Paraguay is a safe Latin American country. In the capital, Asunción, proper neighborhoods feel safer than many cities in Europe or the US. The expat community is thriving and welcoming, making it an excellent choice for international residents.

What is the difference between citizenship, residency, and tax residency?

Citizenship: Gives you the right to hold a passport and enjoy full legal rights in a country, including voting and access to public services.
Residency: Allows you to legally live in a country and may provide access to certain benefits, but does not grant full citizenship rights. Our Tax-Free Business Setup includes Paraguay residency.
Tax Residency: Determines where you are obligated to pay taxes, based on where you spend time or have significant ties. Paraguay tax residency comes with territorial taxation benefits - foreign income is not taxed.

Can I live in another country while being tax resident of Paraguay?

Yes, but you must ensure that you are not considered a tax resident anywhere else. This typically means you cannot spend more than 183 days in any other country (except Paraguay). In other words, you should not be in one country more than 6 months a year. Some countries have even stricter requirements, so you should be aware of and check the specific tax residency rules of countries you plan to visit - it can often be real estate ownership, etc.

Is a U.S. citizen eligible for this setup?

Unfortunately, not. The United States applies citizen-based taxation, meaning they tax worldwide income for all US passport holders regardless of where they live. Due to the extensive reach and enforcement power of US institutions, it is not advisable to attempt tax optimization strategies that could conflict with US tax obligations. US citizens should consult with qualified US tax professionals before considering international tax planning.

Are there ongoing requirements or fees?

Your USA LLC requires mandatory state fees and registered agent services, as required by law, along with optional virtual office and lease contract renewals. The Tax-Free Business Setup package includes a full one-year subscription that covers all these maintenance costs, with no additional fees for the entire first year. After the first year, we offer a yearly subscription package that includes these mandatory costs, as well as optional services such as a virtual office in the US, a virtual office and lease contract in Paraguay (for correspondence and strengthening tax residency ties), and ongoing compliance support.
