Frequently asked questions.
What is a RUC and do I need one?
The RUC (Registro Único del Contribuyente) is Paraguay's tax identification number. You need one to invoice as self-employed, run a business, or once your income makes you an IRP taxpayer. We register it for you.
What insurance do I need when I arrive?
None is legally mandatory for residents, but health, vehicle and home insurance are all strongly recommended. We connect you with vetted providers.
Do I need a car in Asunción?
Not if you live centrally. Ride-hailing apps are widely used, and many people who own a car do so for convenience.
Where should I live in Asunción?
It depends on your plans and budget. Areas such as Villa Morra, Las Mercedes and Carmelitas are among the most sought after, and outer barrios are more affordable. We can talk you through neighborhoods before you decide.
How does tax work for new residents?
For individuals, Paraguay taxes Paraguayan-source income (Ley 6380/2019, Art. 48). How foreign dividends, interest, pensions and capital gains are treated depends on the income type. A Paraguayan company is different: its foreign interest and dividends can be taxable under IRE (Art. 6(4)). Your home country may still tax you, which is why we work alongside cross-border tax professionals so your residency and tax planning fit together.
