yeah but it was more dry hot when I was there. I prefer it over asia humid hot.

vanniktech 1mo

I didn't go hiking in asuncion. I just saw the beauty from the bus, inside

nathansudds 1mo

Weird, I haven't had any issues sending to Saspy from Amazon, are you sending to their Miami address? We've got a few people in the West Coffee coworking group that use other forwarders, I'll ask for recommendations for you.

jrejaud 1mo

Yes, the miami one

jrejaud 1mo

It's random stuff too, like a hat, a pair of socks, some face cream, not drugs or ammo

jrejaud 1mo

Can you invite me please? ❤️

What is the best district to stay in Asunción for nomads?

nathansudds 1mo

I've lived in a number of neighborhoods and they all have been pretty great, with Bolt being just a couple dollars to get around it really depends on the experience you want to have.

I think most people would say near Shopping Del Sol.

I have lived in Santa Teresa/Mburucuya, Barrio Jara, Las Mercedes, Villa Morra, Los Laureles, Herrera, Recoletta, probably a few others.

Enjoyed them all for different reasons but if you want to be walking distance to a lot of things in the nicest areas probably Shopping Del Sol or Villa Morra are still going to be the top recommended areas.

maciejcupial 1mo

Great! Thanks! See you guys soon there!

nathansudds 1mo

What are the nice buildings in Asuncion for Airbnb? The apartments all look pretty similar on the inside so just curious which buildings have the best location/fewest issues...

nathansudds 30d

There's some nice buildings but it depends where you want to be and what your price point is etc.

We've found some nice places that are more unique, I do agree that some of them are very cookie cutter and not necessarily cozy like a lived in apartment.

You can also look outside Villa Morra and Shopping Del Sol area for what's available.

Las Mercedes, Barrio Jara, Los Laureles, Recoletta, Herrera and other areas I know some people like Luque as well

nthnjns 30d

Yeah I just need advice on the hood...

nthnjns 30d

They seem to cluster in the same area?

alexrod94 28d

Do you guys meet every Tuesday?

nathansudds 28d

Every Tuesday from 1-6 pm for coworking

And then every other week the Asuncion Times has an after work event nearby

nathansudds 28d

There's Airbnb's across the whole city but there's definitely a higher concentration in Villa Morra and Shopping Del Sol area

nathansudds 28d

Las Lomas or Santa Teresa

nathansudds 28d

Also depends on what you are filtering for....

nathansudds 28d

I think it depends on the dates too, I'm usually booking for a month.

Some places may have a minimum number of days etc

alexrod94 28d

Will join you next time!

nthnjns 28d

I'm just coming for a week. So long as that hood is nice and walkable I'll book there...seems to be pretty central to everything?

nathansudds 28d

You are good if you are here for a week, choose something in that area near the Shopping Del Sol and it will be pretty walkable.

Or near Shopping Mariscal

I'm sure you'll be good

nathansudds 28d

Uber or Bolt (a little cheaper usually) is very affordable to get around everywhere for a couple dollars so it's all within reach easily

nthnjns 28d

Perfect thank you

maciejcupial 25d

Hey, what do you use to book apartments or hotels? Booking/ Airbnb? Or there is something local? I found an apartment that looks good, costs 265 USD for a week

stankozlovski 25d

Are any nomads based off here tax-wise?

kaskuk 25d

I’m sure there’s a whole variation. Most people use Airbnb since it’s the most convenient for non-Spanish speakers, but the prices are also more elevated. I rent locally since, price-wise, it’s the most affordable but not the nicest area, and I speak Spanish.

rogosak 25d

Yes

nathansudds 24d

I use Airbnb mostly for convenience, since I often book last minute for a month I can usually ask for a little lower rate and get a discount but the premium for having the flexibility works for me. My wife and I like to be able to change things up instead of making a longer term commitment.

On the tax thing, there's another group that is focused on that for the area if you have questions but yeah a lot of people I believe are here for that reason.

I'm working on my residency now

stankozlovski 24d

Which group?

stankozlovski 24d

Do you mind sharing how much time you spend in Paraguay?
Then whether you have brokerages and banks based off your Paraguay residency?

kaskuk 24d

Tax group in this Telegram community

nathansudds 24d

Local Whatsapp group for Asuncion

rogosak 24d

I spend only the necessary time, that means just couple of days.

Brokers are tough, kept the one in eu I know that there is only one I think it's interactive brokers.

Bank account comes in handy, but not needed. Most of their plans won't be international in the first place. But the bank account is a good proof of residence in case your citizenship country asks

stankozlovski 23d

Is the eu brokerage registered under your eu address?

rogosak 23d

Under an eu address yes

silvan 22d

Hi everyone, is it possible to set up a company in Paraguay while being outside the country if you have the cedula and a good person to do it?

alexrod94 22d

I’m curious, what do you do the rest of the year?

alexrod94 22d

Are you a full time traveler?

replay 22d

I don't know the answer, but I'm curious why you want to create a Paraguayan company? For which type of business does that make sense?

nathansudds 22d

Same question, unless you've got a local business idea or a need for the local business... I'd recommend having the business outside the country. Better for taxes and access to resources. US LLC is the most common probably depending on what you are doing.

Disclaimer I'm not a tax expert

silvan 22d

Sorry, I meant get the tax residence here.

nathansudds 22d

You have to visit twice now to get it, it seems.

Once to submit the papers and another to pick up the cedula (id)

That's my understanding

alexrod94 21d

Yep, and even three times in some cases

alexrod94 21d

Or you can stay here for some parts of the process to avoid paying more for flights

nathansudds 21d

💯 it's a nice place to be, we've got a good community building and the weather is good if you like it hot 😁

I've been here for over a year now

rogosak 21d

Yes

alexrod94 21d

That’s awesome! See you on Tuesday if the working meetup is on

alexrod94 21d

I’d be curious to know more about your experience

nathansudds 21d

It's on!

nathansudds 21d

This past week 🙌

nathansudds 21d

Just a fraction of the group, others are sitting on some benches behind and people come and go throughout the 5+ hours

alexrod94 21d

At what time does it start?

alexrod94 21d

I think there’s also an event today - see you there maybe!

nathansudds 21d

1 pm to 6 pm

But sometimes people get there early and stay later

They are open from 7 am to 8 pm

maciejcupial 21d

Hola 👋 anyone bored in Asuncion? I’m staying here 3 weeks, so happy to meet up for coffee, walk or food

kaskuk 21d

Where are you staying?

I live here, in the centro area.

Originally from Finland but been in LATAM the last 10 years or so.

maciejcupial 21d

I’m next to the sol shopping center. I heard that centro area is not really for living for tourists, right? There are some „pueblos” that might be not really safe.

nathansudds 21d

Join us for Tuesday Coworking, I'll post the details soon

maciejcupial 20d

I will 💪

maciejcupial 20d

Ah shit, there was a meet up yesterday? Just missed it:/

nathansudds 20d

Don't worry, you can join us on Tuesday for coworking 😁

silvan 19d

You mean the Cedula with the temporary residency, I mean the tax residency for a company

nathansudds 18d

Oh so you already have the cedula?

silvan 18d

Yea

maciejcupial 17d

Hey, are you guys meeting tomorrow?

nathansudds 16d

Sorry yeah Tuesday Coworking is on today!

maciejcupial 16d

aaah where are you guys?

nathansudds 16d

https://maps.app.goo.gl/bdCz2ssj7gNPYSjp9

nathansudds 16d

We will be here this afternoon

silvan 12d

Hey, are there people who have customers in Europe and a tax setup here in Paraguay? I was wondering if you guys get in "trouble" for that. I've noticed that some clients like to have someone whose company is at least based in Europe.

nathansudds 12d

Generally people tend to setup the company somewhere that makes sense for the business they are doing and it's not optimal to base the business in Paraguay if you are doing business around the world, probably better to have the business based in another region.

US/UK etc would make sense depending on where your customers are at and where you have your residency.

Depending on your goals

maciejcupial 11d

You can keep your company in EU and get a tax residency for yourself, make dividends or salary from the company, this will generate cost. Then you don’t really pay taxes in EU. I’m thinking about it.

kellykim 11d

ndcphzdvxqft is tuesday coworking a go this week? making a surprise trip into town until at least wednesday 🙂

silvan 11d

Thanks for sharing it's interesting

nathansudds 11d

Yes! Would love to have you join us 🙌

nathansudds 11d

Welcome back for your short surprise visit 😁

nathansudds 11d

Please RSVP for Tuesday here so more in the Nomads community can find us

alexrod94 11d

Those of you who invest in stocks from Paraguay, which broker do you use?

nathansudds 11d

I believe most people have shared they are using https://www.interactivebrokers.com/

nathansudds 11d

It's one of the few that will allow you to use it as a resident of other countries

nathansudds 11d

In the Digital Nomads ASU group there's a finance channel

nathansudds 11d

Where some people have talked about it

briangerrard 10d

Hey folks, just arrived to Paraguay yesterday as my gf is setting up her tax residency. I’m a U.S. entrepreneur, been running tech companies for the last decade. Would be great to grab a coffee/co work with anyone in the Capital. Up for that? Give me a shout! ☺️

kellykim 9d

welcome! we have a coworking session today https://nomads.com/meetups#264849116ed0fd531cbb6f5f01bf493c

nathansudds 9d

Looking forward to seeing everyone over at West Coffee Julio Correa later today!

eldanielo 9d

Hey guys, what do you think of the area “Las Mercedes” in ASU?

replay 8d

that's my neighborhood, i'm happy with it.
especially the area around Juan de Salazar is nice because it has many restaurants and activity

replay 8d

it also feels like one of the upcoming neighborhoods... I've been living in Las Mercedes since 2017 and during the years since then it has become much more lively than it used to be, many new businesses opened and there's a lot of new buildings going up

eldanielo 8d

thanks for the feedback 🙏 that sounds great

replay 8d

I'd recommend that you don't live North of Juan de Salazar though, because there you already get a bit close to one of the shadier areas. Optimal would be to live either on Juan de Salazar or a bit South of it

alexrod94 8d

Thanks man!

replay 8d

Sorry I'm color blind, so I can only guess that the horizontal line at the top is the green line lol...
You see where it says "Hot" on that screenshot? This is an area where you probably don't want to go near to.

eldanielo 8d

Haha ok, yeah I meant that line, no worries. 😊 Thank you, helped me a lot🙏

nathansudds 8d

Las Mercedes is a good area, I've lived there and in Barrio Jara a few times
