About the Paraguay passport
At #23 globally out of 200 ranked passports, the Paraguay passport puts holders ahead of 89% of the world. Like many countries, Paraguay extends citizenship to children of its nationals born abroad, making the passport potentially available to subsequent generations through descent.
Passport context
Paraguay applies a top marginal income tax rate of 10% and a capital gains tax rate of Same as income. The country operates a territorial tax regime, taxing only income sourced within Paraguay, with foreign-sourced income generally exempt. Expats who establish tax residency in Paraguay and earn the bulk of their income abroad may significantly reduce their overall tax burden under this structure.
Paraguay is a member of MERCOSUR, granting facilitated residency rights across South American member states.
