Is my pension from abroad taxed in Paraguay?

Generally, no. Under Paraguay's territorial tax system, genuinely foreign-source income, including pensions, usually falls outside the local income tax base, as long as it's properly documented.

Can I live comfortably in Paraguay on that income?

Yes. Asunción's cost of living is significantly lower than major Latin American capitals, and a budget of $1,000–1,500 a month already covers a comfortable lifestyle.

Territorial taxationForeign income is not taxed in Paraguay

Retirees and pensioners may apply for residency in Paraguay through the available immigration categories and use their retirement or pension benefits as proof of financial solvency. This is not a special retirement visa, but a residency process supported by documentation suited to the applicant’s circumstances. Our team assists throughout every stage, making the process safer, clearer, and more organized.

Financial solvency may be demonstrated through official documents stating the amount of the retirement benefit or pension, the source of the funds, and the method of payment. We handle document review, apostille procedures, translation, legalization, and submission of supporting documents to the Paraguayan authorities. We also provide guidance on the need for an individual tax assessment, since immigration residency and tax residency are separate matters.
