Hi there. Funny you ask that; such a video has been on our minds. Hopefully we might get a vid out about that very subject shortly. There's a lot to consider regarding this.

Thanks so much for getting back! We also currently homeschool which looks to be legal in Paraguay. Do you know offhand if there are any va(cine requirements, or if you are allowed to decline all?

Happy to share our thoughts about that (a subject close to our hearts). If you shoot us an email we can speak more freely about such [email protected].

@a.b.5418 We'll see if we can change the settings. First time we've thought about it (we just left it on the default settings). Thanks.

If you email me at [email protected] I'll see if I can connect you with him.

@@lozcb1 Absolutely. I think he mentions it in the interview;he did offer them quite a considerable sum of money. Regardless, you need to do all you can to form good relations with everyone.

Gracias 🙏

I know someone who brought a couple of big dogs from Spain.

Gracias!

If you are keen to chat to Mervi & Kimmo their contact details are in the description 🙂

We're gathering info about that topic. We'll get back to you.

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay I subscribed to your channel. Where do you originally come from? And why Paraguay? I've watched several videos on your channel and find you very wise. Thanks for the help! Edit: I just read your site and you are from NZ and a freedom lover as well. Strange that you don't have a single video about guns and Paraguay has great laws about it... you can't have freedoms without guns.

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Australia and New Zealand gave up their gun rights, and it was no coincidence that they suffered draconian measures. Meanwhile, in the USA, for the most part, no one's right to move freely was infringed, no one was forced to take the vacchine, and no one was arrested for criticizing measures online. It wasn't even necessary to use guns for this... but since the government knows that citizens can defend themselves, that's enough to make them think twice.

Hey there again, just an update. I have been advised that once you have a cedula you need to obtain a certificate from the Paraguay Police confirming that you have behaved well in this country. You then have the ability to apply for a gun licence. This info was from a friend of mine so like all advice, confirm it yourself before proceeding. We are intending to do more research about this to confirm the situation and when we do we will post a video.

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Thank you very much, I'm looking forward to this. Notifications turned on! If possible during your research, could you confirm if it is possible to obtain a firearm license with a temporary residency? Or is permanent residency required? Thank you, and I'm really enjoying your site, great content.

Thanks for watching! It's a two year temporary residency that you then renew to a ten year permanent residency. It's residency not citizenship so you still keep whatever passport you have. 🙂

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay that's great news, I'm seriously looking at this, I agree with you and Radu in your other video, Klaus Schwab needs to live with nothing and be happy first, walk the walk. Places like Paraguay are the best alternative to live a better life away from our Western countries that they're ruining fast, since I woke up in 2020. I also work remotely so it would be a great alternative.

That's awesome. We've had generally good interactions with the police also. Asuncion has some cool areas. The more time I spend there the more I like it. Thanks for the message.

thanks for watching.

It would have been interesting to see the country then. It's still in its own bubble, thankfully.

Just the result...your blood type.

Yes - anyone can do it themselves which is great! I corrected my mill/milliones mistake in the description. Thanks for watching 😁

Hey Jacqueline...definately. The roads are way better. And when you consider what you're paying in petrol tax, RUC, WOF blah blah blah it's obscene what you are putting up with. Hopefully we will convince you to come join us.

Your from NZ me too, I got my Paraguay drivers license in 2 hours very easy just gave them my NZ license and did their tests for eyesite and hearing and road rules which was super easy too

@@gregducati999 Awesome. That's why we say check with your local municipality. We have heard there's quite a lot of variation depending on where you are. But sometimes in Paraguay it also just depends on how the official feels on the day you front up. We have found a variance in processes even where we live from one day to the next.

Hi there. Motorbike hire isn't a big thing where we are. Maybe you can rent a bike in Asuncion though. I have a friend who will know more so I'll ask him and if I get any useful info I will let you know. Bikes are so cheap to buy here it might just end up worth buying one (depending on how long you're intending to be here?).

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Thx for reply, I'm heading to Asuncion for a few months so hopefully I can rent something 🤞

Hola! The video was taken on the day it was posted (the latter part of the vid). At the moment the weather is quite variable. Some days we are in T shirts, shorts, others we have several layers, beanies, scarves. We haven't spent much time in other parts of the country so we can't comment too much regarding the variability, but we understand that it's warmer in the Chaco of course. We are hoping to do some trips soon fingers crossed we will have more to report about such things. Considering how warm it is during much of the year this cold spell is actually a nice change. We are enjoying the weather here. The sky is very clear and sun is intense...a little like New Zealand. The colors are bright and everything grows so fast. That's why I (Adam) am usually squinting. I have green eyes and I think that makes them more sensitive to light. It was the same in New Zealand. I found it much brighter there also (than Australia).

My mistake, mil...millione...too many 000's for this old brain! Thanks for pointing that out, I've put a disclaimer in the vid notes to explain.

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay ... No problem ... You are a beautiful couple ... Congratulations ! ... and I wish you the best life in my beloved Paraguay ...

Hey thanks so much. We love Paraguay and its people. We are so lucky to be here.

Cheers. Yes, we have heard many stories of all kinds of delays, hold ups & complications. Likewise with the border run process. Despite what MPH says that does not always go to plan. Beautiful holiday location but with those uncertainties not a place I'd want to establish myself in.

Much appreciated and thanks for your note. I wish you guys well where you are and if you ever stray this far down in Sth America please look us up. Thanks for your channel also. My son is a mad history buff so he will be binge watching your vids.

Thanks and hi to all in Oz.

Fair enough, there's a place for everyone!

Annual.

Not sure sorry - you would probably need to check with a lawyer regarding that option. Get in touch if you need an English speaking lawyer here in Paraguay 🙂

Hey Julien. If you do a private contract and months later want to transfer it to your name (on the cedula verde) it's a hassle. We know people that did that and it took months to get the cedula verde into their name.

Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Thanks for watching. Yes, I'm not a car buying fan either, but the good thing is that in Paraguay you can still buy cheap n cheery cars that don't cost a second mortgage. Not many Teslas and Porches here. I understand your hesitation about moving. It's a big call. That's why we have our channel, so people can see before they make any decisions.

We haven't done it ourselves but we know several people who have. I have heard that it's a more straight forward process if you are freighting from Germany. The reason being that many have done it before so there are some solid processes in place. There's many things to consider. Any electrical household items run the risk of damage due to condensation. I know of someone who had a lot of their kitchen appliances ruined that way. If we were to attempt bringing a container in we would want someone knowledge in the process, fluent in Spanish and at this end to liaise with Customs. It can be a sticky process. It's worth bearing in mind that you can just about anything here so sentimental considerations aside you really need to calculate whether not it's financially viable to freight a lot items here.

@@justintimber5058 You've never had an issue so that means nobody ever must have either. Ok, whatever 🙄. What kind of items do you import and where from? Happy to hear your views and appreciate that you'll keep your manners in check. From my comments you don't know where my friends freighted from, what delays they had along the way, so I suggest you avail yourself of more info before you go about trying to insult people.

Sorry, I don't know what they charge for that but I can say if you have solid mechanical skills you could do well here I believe. Life for a good mechanic could be very good.

Not many power outages here. About the same as anywhere else we've been. Power is cheap here so aircons and fans are running when it's hot. The only place we have seen scorpions is Nica. In regard to how we cope, well we just ignore the weather to be honest. It's not as hot as parts of Australia we've lived in nor is as cold as parts of NZ where we have also lived. Swings and roundabouts.

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Thanks - that really helps alot! The last place we lived in - in Australia was Port Douglas where it was very hot and humid in the summer; if it is not quite as bad as there - then it wouldn't be a problem. And scorpions in any country are a deal breaker - lol! Saw 3 in our apartment in Acapulco and that was enough for a lifetime.🦂

@@WeDidntExpectthis I have been to Port Douglas. I don't think it gets as uncomfortable here as it does there. I have also been to Mexico where I saw more creeping things than anywhere else in the world I have lived...including Australia.

Nicaragua is certainly a beautiful country. We weren't there during the drama's so can't comment about their response; but Nicaragua has reportedly implemented a requirement that in order to gain residence you require a c#vid jab. Any chance that they'd further mandate the shots? IMO of course there's a chance. There's more things that I could say about this but when speaking about this topic I select my words carefully but let me say this...I recommend researching the history of any country you're thinking about settling in, particularly in regard to their human rights track record. However, be careful who you listen to. Regarding Nica, at present the most active expat vlogger there is a deceitful, self serving blowhard who is disguising several of his agendas under the guise of 'free advice'. Much of what he says is factually BS and he is not what he purports to be. In regard to Paraguay, I'm with you...peace is worth its weight in gold, in fact, it's worth more. And yes, it doesn't have the wow factor of Mexico, Nicaragua, Brazil; those who have eyes to see know that everything comes with a price, including the 'wow factor'. We're happy to give up the wow to avoid the rest that comes with it. That seems to be the attitude of Paraguay also. This is a great central place from which you can access neighboring countries if you want to access some 'wow'.

@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Paraguay is looking better by the day. Well Nica's new requirement is going to lose alot of people - it automatically outrules it. Have you heard any similar 'negative' things in Argentina regarding compulsary shots for anything?

@@WeDidntExpectthis I don't know about Argentina. Personally, I'd be waiting to see how things pan out in Argentina. A lot has happened in a short space of time there so it's anyone's guess how things progress.

Yes, you can find good Doctors here.

Thanks for the comments. MPH may have been there for a prolonged period but we also lived there for several months and thoroughly assessed it as an option. I can say with 100% confidence that a lot of what he puts out is factually incorrect BS. It worries me that real people will act on his advice because I know for certain that key aspects of it are BS. His entire, deliberate, fictitious attack on us demonstrates he has no hesitation in lying to serve his interests. That makes for a dangerous, unreliable source.

I've been looking for a better hat but nothing has suited. I'll keep looking so stay tuned for a change. I doubt many will notice though as I'm sure they don't watch to admire my good looks.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
