Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about virtual addresses, residency, business, and life in Paraguay.

Virtual Address & Mail

What is MyPyMail.com and who is it for?
MyPyMail.com is a virtual mail service that provides you with a real street address in Paraguay for receiving postal mail. It's designed for businesses, expats, remote workers, and digital nomads who need an official mailing address in Paraguay without physically being there. The service handles your incoming mail by scanning it, storing it securely, and allowing you to access it online from anywhere. You also have options for mail forwarding and long-term storage.
How do I sign up and set up my account?
Sign up on the MyPyMail website and choose a plan (Basic, Standard, or Premium). After registration, you'll receive a mailing address in Greater Asunción, Paraguay. Any mail sent to this address is received at our facility, scanned, and uploaded to your private online dashboard. Once you've created your account, you're ready to share your new address and start receiving mail.
What plans are available?
Three annual plans: Basic ($99/yr) with 1 scan/month and 60-day storage, Standard ($149/yr) with 10 scans/month and 2-year storage plus chat support, and Premium ($199/yr) with 20 scans/month, 3-year storage, included forwarding (2x/year), and phone support. All plans include a real physical address and proof of address documentation.
Can I use this address for banking and business registration?
Yes. You receive a real, physical address in Greater Asunción (not a P.O. Box) that is legally recognized and accepted by banks, government agencies, and institutions. Clients use it for opening bank accounts, registering businesses, and receiving official correspondence.
How fast do I get scans of new mail?
Typically the same day. Our standard is within 1 business day (often within hours). You'll receive an email notification and can view scans in your online dashboard. Urgent items can be prioritized.
How secure is my mail?
Your mail is stored in a secure facility, handled only by authorized staff. Digital scans are transmitted via encrypted connections. We never share your data with anyone. You retain full control and can request physical document destruction at any time.

Residency & Immigration

What types of residency are available?
Temporary (2 years, renewable), Permanent (10 years), and eventually Citizenship (after 3 years). Temporary residency is the most common starting point. Read our complete Paraguay Residency Guide.
How much does residency cost?
Total costs range from $2,000-$5,000 depending on the type, including government fees, legal fees, document apostille, and translations. A bank deposit of ~$5,000 is also required (your money, withdrawable later).
Do I need to live in Paraguay full-time?
No strict physical presence requirement for maintaining residency. For tax residency status, 120+ days/year is recommended. The permit itself requires periodic visits.
Can I use MyPyMail as proof of residence?
Your MyPyMail address is ideal for receiving banking and government correspondence, but alone may not satisfy formal proof of residence requirements like utility bills. We can advise on alternative options.

Business & Tax

What is Paraguay's tax system?
Paraguay uses a territorial tax system: only income earned within Paraguay is taxed (at 10%). Foreign income is 0%. VAT is 10%, dividends 5%. There's no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. See our Business in Paraguay Guide.
What company types exist?
SA (corporation, 3+ shareholders), SRL (limited liability, 2-25 partners), SAS (simplified, 1+ shareholder, best for foreigners), and Sole Proprietorship. SAS is the newest and easiest for foreign entrepreneurs.
Can I open a bank account as a foreigner?
Yes, with your residency permit, Cedula, passport, proof of address (MyPyMail works), and proof of income. Major banks: Banco Continental, Itau, Vision Banco.

Daily Life

What's the cost of living?
A single person can live comfortably for $800-$1,200/month in Asuncion. A family: $1,500-$2,500. Rent (1BR): $300-500, groceries: $200-300, healthcare: $100-200. Detailed breakdown in our Living in Paraguay Guide.
Can I get a driver's license?
Yes, with your Cedula. Cost ~$50-100, processing 1-2 weeks, valid 5 years. Tourists can drive with an International Driving Permit for 90 days. Full guide: Driver's License in Paraguay.
Is Paraguay safe?
Asuncion and major cities are generally safe, comparable to other South American capitals. Popular expat neighborhoods like Villa Morra, Carmelitas, and Manora are well-established and secure. Common-sense precautions apply.
What language do I need?
Spanish is essential for daily life. Guarani is the second official language but less critical for expats. In business and expat communities, English is widely understood. We recommend learning basic Spanish before arriving.
