Руководство для экспатов: Жизнь в Парагвае 2026

Paraguay is Latin America's best-kept secret for expats seeking a low-tax, low-cost destination. The country operates on a territorial tax system (only local income is taxed), permanent residency is obtainable in 3 months, and the cost of living is among the lowest in South America. Asunción is a modern, safe capital with a growing expat community.

🏥 Здравоохранение in Paraguay

Государственная медицина

Paraguay's public health system (IPS — Instituto de Previsión Social) covers registered workers and their families. Quality is inconsistent — good in Asunción, very limited in rural areas. Emergency hospitals are available but often overcrowded.

Частная медицина

Private hospitals in Asunción provide the best care: Hospital Bautista, Centro Médico La Стоимостьa, Hospital Adventista. Quality is acceptable for routine and moderate care, but complex procedures may require travel to Brazil or Argentina. Стоимости are very low by international standards.

Typical Стоимости

УслугаСтоимость
Private Прием терапевта$30–60
Прием специалиста$50–120
Emergency room (private)$100–400
Hospitalisation (private, за ночь)$200–600
Чистка зубов$30–60
Major dental work40–60% cheaper than US
ℹ️ Рекомендуется: Most expats use private healthcare in Asunción and maintain international health insurance for serious conditions requiring treatment in Brazil, Argentina or the US.

🛡️ Health Insurance in Paraguay

Private health insurance is not required for residency in Paraguay. However, given the limitations of the local healthcare system for serious conditions, international health insurance is strongly recommended.

🏦 Opening a Bank Account in Paraguay

A Paraguayan bank account is required for the residency deposit ($5,500) and for daily transactions. The process is relatively straightforward compared to other Latin American countries.

Рекомендуемые банки

Banco Continental — Paraguay's largest private bank. Good English support. Рекомендуется for residency applications.
Banco Itaú Paraguay — Brazilian-owned. Strong digital banking, international connections. Popular with Brazilian expats.
Banco GNB Paraguay — Good for account opening. Accepts foreigners with passport only at some branches.
BBVA Paraguay — International bank. Good for wire transfers to/from Spain and Latin America.
Banco Nacional de Fomento — State bank. Most accessible but limited digital services.

Необходимые документы

  • Valid passport
  • Proof of address in Paraguay (rental contract or hotel bill)
  • Police clearance certificate (some banks)
  • Proof of income or purpose of account
  • Initial deposit ($100–$5,500 depending on account type)

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Visit bank branch in person
  2. For residency deposit: open a fixed-term savings account with $5,500
  3. Standard account opening takes 1–3 business days
  4. Receive account number and access for wire transfers
  5. Mobile banking available after account activation
💡 Совет: Banco Continental is the most popular bank for residency purposes among expats. The $5,500 deposit must remain in the account until residency is approved — it earns a small amount of interest in the meantime.

🏠 Buying Property in Paraguay

Paraguay has no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The market is extremely affordable — land and properties in Asunción cost a fraction of comparable Latin American cities. The legal process is straightforward.

Options for Foreigners

Freehold Purchase
Full ownership. No restrictions for foreigners. Standard for all property types.

Процесс покупки

  2. Hire a Paraguayan notary (escribano) — manages the whole process
  3. Conduct a title search at the General Directorate of Public Registries
  4. Verify property is free of liens and back taxes (IBI)
  5. Sign the Escritura Pública (purchase deed) before the notary
  6. Register at the Property Registry

Typical Стоимости

Notary fees1.5–2% of sale price
