At a glance
Healthcare, taxes & language
The decisive three for a longer stay in Paraguay.
Healthcare
Public care is free at point of use but under-resourced and often slow; private clinics and hospitals in Asunción (and Ciudad del Este/Encarnación) offer the best standard of care.
Taxes
Under the territorial system, foreign-source income such as an overseas pension is generally not taxed in Paraguay, although certain returns on capital invested abroad by residents can be deemed Paraguayan-source.
English
Low — Spanish and Guaraní dominate daily life; English is mostly limited to Asunción business, tourism and private-school-educated younger people.
