# Paraguay Residency for Territorial Tax Exemption

> Establish legal residency in Paraguay for 0% tax on foreign income.

This strategy outlines how digital nomads and remote workers can obtain legal residency in Paraguay to leverage its territorial tax system.

How Paraguay residency works for digital nomads:

1. Requirements:
2. Birth and marriage certificates (apostilled/legalized)
