Feel free to message me, I live in Encarnacion (on Argentine border) and plan to keep my Paraguay tax residency and home address for a long time.. I assume my residency will arrive around Xmas. You can find me at my handle here at the swiss proton.. Talk soon

it is a lot of work and you absolutely need to speak Spanish. There are some agencies which claim to arrange it for you - I had seen prices ranging from US$5,000 to US$9,000. I had also talked to a few local immig lawyers but honestly these guys did not really knew all that much. Given I speak...
