Why Wealthy Americans Are Suddenly Looking at Paraguay’s New Golden Visa
Paraguay launched the Investor Pass in April 2026, a residency‑by‑investment program that grants permanent residency to foreign investors who commit $150,000 to tourism projects or $200,000 to real estate, securities or business ventures. The scheme arrives as affluent Americans seek “Plan B” options amid U.S. political turbulence, rising living costs, and tighter cross‑border tax reporting, especially after the State Department slashed the citizenship renunciation fee to $450. By linking residency to targeted capital inflows, Paraguay aims to stimulate its tourism sector and attract foreign wealth. The program adds a new South‑American choice to an increasingly crowded global golden‑visa market.
