How many of you are still treating Plan B like a theoretical exercise?

The gaps are closing faster than most people are willing to admit: 🌎 Southern Cone + New Zealand are looking increasingly rational as kinetic hedges. Remoteness, food, energy, low strategic value.

📊 Another historical record in 2025! 🇵🇾

The National Directorate of Migrations recorded: 🗂️ 47,687 residence applications (Brazil leading the pack, as always) 📈 +63% vs. 2024

The trend is clear: more and more people are seeking residency in Paraguay every year. 🚀

Borders shift. Surveillance expands. Economies decay.

They told you to trust the system - but it failed you.

Voting won’t save you.

Plan B will. 👇

Since there has been a significant increase in the number of people being scammed in legal processes in Latin America (e.g., issuing fake passports, residence permits, various types of false documents, fake driver's licenses, etc.)

We have written down a few principles that may help you get a better understanding of the situation and what to look out for if you are dealing with something like.

P.S. Use your common sense.

As every year, Brazil is by far the number one source of immigration to Paraguay. Immigration grows by 31% in 2025 compared to 2024.

Top 10 countries 2025 vs. 2024:

2025: 1️⃣ Brazil
2️⃣ Argentina 3️⃣ Germany 4️⃣ Bolivia 5️⃣ España 6️⃣ Venezuela 7️⃣ Netherlands 8️⃣ USA 9️⃣ Russia 🔟 Colombia

2024: 1️⃣ Brazil 2️⃣ Argentina 3️⃣ Germany 4️⃣ Bolivia 5️⃣ USA 6️⃣ España 7️⃣Venezuela 8️⃣ Russia 9️⃣ Netherlands 🔟 Francia

Safe countries ≠ free countries. Surveillance thrives in "safe" nations. Free countries can be safe - it's a spectrum. But no "free countries" chart exists. Safety & freedom are conflated, yet distinct.

Little bit from the OpSec basket.

Since many people keep asking us about gun ownership in Latin America, here's an article about it.

In many Latin American countries, it is not permitted to own a firearm, or the conditions are relatively complex and restrictive (what you can and cannot own), but Paraguay 🇵🇾 is a kind of ok.

Spoiler alert: It is possible to own variate of firearms. And yes, civilians can also have a suppressor and a red dot sight.

Let's take a look at it in the article 👇

Many people ask, "Why should I invest in a Plan B I might never need?" What they don’t understand is that a Plan B is your insurance against unforeseen crises in your home country. When you really need to set up your Plan B, it’s usually too late, leaving you with only bad options. As with insurance, "it’s too late to apply for insurance when your house is already on fire."

As a digital nomad earning $70k+ online, you may pay 20-50% in taxes to a state you rarely visit. Picture a 100% legal setup with 0% income tax, no accountant needed, and minimal maintenance - freeing funds to grow your business or enhance your lifestyle. 🚀
