Post Body

Hey. I am 34 years old male from Finland and I am done with the weather, cost of living here.
I want to leave this country for good before I turn 40, but sooner the better. I want to find cheap and warm country that is relatively safe and easy to move into and own land as foreigner. I am mostly looking into South East Asia and South America.

I would like to build a ~100sqm house on 5 hectare land, solar panels, swimming pool, some aquaponic systems to grow fish and vegetables, fruit tree garden, ducks and chickens. Just live somewhat self sustaining life. The place could be somewhat rural as long as there is a city nearby that sells building supplies, steel and feed for fishes and birds. Some sort of internet connection and vast supply of water would be perfecto.

  1. To my understanding one can get permanent residency in Paraguay by buying 10 hectares of aqricultural land or by making 35 minimum monthly wages deposit to the Paraguyan Central Bank? Is that correct?
  2. How much are taxes in Paraguay? I believe the VAT is 10%? Are there property taxes? What about capital gains taxes? Some source even said that income from abroad is not subject to taxes.
  3. How much one should expect to pay for hectare of land with above conditions?
  4. How much roughly are cost of building a house per square meter? Again outside of city.
  5. How free hands do you have to build on your own land? Is there lots of bureaucracy with building permits etc?
  6. Wildlife: Are there much venomous snakes, spiders etc? What about predator mammals that pose risk to humans or livestock? Basicly which things could harm or kill you in there?
  7. How easy is it to order stuff from abroad and import them into Paraguay?
  8. Is making moonshine and or beer legal for own consumption?
  9. How much utilites cost? Water price per cubic meter? Electricity per kWh? internet? How good internet connection is outside cities? Garbage disposal?
  10. How much feed for animals cost?
  11. How probable is it to get robbed, kidnapped or killed for having lets say 10 000 usd worth of solar panels just laying on my yard and being a white "rich" man in Paraguay?
  12. In case of robberies are police capable of doing anything about it if I have surveillance camera video of robbers? Do insurances cover this kind of thing and how much one should expect to pay for such insurance?

So if you run an e-commerce business and all your sales come from overseas customers into your Paraguay bank account, I donโ€™t have to pay tax?
