Sorry to disillusion you: it is not that easy to open a bank account in Py. Normally, you can open only savings accounts and only with fully justified funds, that means a lot of paperwork from your actual bank. It is possible, but just don't ... Read More

If you don't register your business with the taxes people, you don't pay anything for work done abroad: it all depends how you are going to invoice for your work. But, even if you open a position to be able to invoice from here, taxes are so ... Read More

Hi folks. I've read most of the posts in this forum and I'm just wondering why those folks who pick up and relocate are leaving North America 'these days', and in particular why they decide on Uy. I'm in my late 50's, a businessman, and a fairly ...
