Before anything else

You may not needthis meeting.

Seriously. Romper handles your immigration, company, LLC and accounting without you buying any meeting. It exists for specific cases, and it's worth knowing that now:

It makes sense if you

  • Are going to set up production, a maquila or an industrial operation
  • Are going to bring capital or assets, or build a holding
  • Are still deciding whether Paraguay fits your project
  • Have a Romper project of US$ 70,000 or more on the table

You don't need it if you

  • Just want documentation and have already decided to come
  • Want to open an LLC or hire accounting: it has a page and a price
  • Have a specific question: the manager answers for free
  • Want the price and timeline of a service: it's on the screen

No consulting is a prerequisite for anything here. It's for those who are about to put money on the table and still don't know whether they should.

The honest thermometer

How worthwhile it isin your case.

No form and no quiz: read the three columns and see where you stand.

Well worth it
  • Industry, maquila or production
  • Capital or assets to bring in
  • A project of US$ 70,000 or more
  • Still unsure whether Paraguay fits
→ the meeting is the best money you'll spend right now
Worth it, but the manager might solve it
  • Decision already made, doubt about the order of steps
  • Simple structure: cédula + company
  • You want to confirm a classification
  • A project below US$ 70,000
→ talk to the manager first. It's free
You probably don't need it
  • Immigration documentation only
  • A standalone LLC, RUC or accounting
  • Price and timeline of a service
  • A question the channel already answers
→ go straight to the service, below
What fits in 50 minutes

What goes on the table, and comes out decided.

The agenda is YOUR case's. What comes up most:

Whether your business closes here

Real cost, scale and viability (no third-party spreadsheet).

Where to set up

Region, logistics and the market you'll serve.

Customs, import and export

What crosses the border, at what tariff and under which rule of origin.

Taxation and regime

Maquila, 10-10-10, IRE, IDU: which fits your case, and which doesn't.

Holding and assets

How to protect and pass on without inventing a structure that won't hold.

How to bring the money in

The documented path, and why smurfing costs you your assets.

Wealth accelerator

The method for bringing capital in with speed and an audit trail.

The right immigration structure

Which door, in what order, with what real timeline.

About the private investment group: it exists, access is limited and it's not for everyone. It normally opens to those who are already Romper clients. If it makes sense for your case, Marlon presents it in the meeting. It's not sold through the site.
Why these 50 minutes are worth more

Every consultant wins if you come.I also win if you don't.

It's the only reason this meeting is worth what it costs. And the numbers prove it:

7 out of 10
industries leave with a no

“Paraguay isn't for you”, “it's not the moment” or “there's not enough capital to get through licensing”.

3 out of 5
nomads too

Many people want to use Paraguay in a way that doesn't exist. Better to hear that before changing countries.

And the detail that says it all: it's Romper's most thanked-for meeting, even by those who heard a no.

Deciding on your ownmonths, and the doubt remains
YouTube, groups and guessworkEvery source says something different. None knows your case.
Months of back and forthDoubt turns into delay; and the exchange rate, the law and the landscape don't wait.

Who's on the other side of the call

Whoever says that many noesneeds to have backing.

Marlon Rihayem founded and runs the largest operation for immigrants in Paraguay: +6,000 clients and more than 2,000 cases in the last year and a half (2026 figures).

He doesn't analyze the country from the outside: he lives here, invests here and builds here (his own headquarters, real estate and a factory under construction). When he says the numbers don't add up, it's because he's already run those numbers with his own money.

And he answers in public: 700,000 people follow what he says, and hold him to it.

“I don't sell Paraguay. I sell the answer, even when the answer is no.”

Said up front, not afterward

You leave with a decision.Not with a document.

This meeting doesn't deliver a signed paper, it delivers clarity for you to decide. What's left out:

  • A signed legal or accounting opinion
  • An executive engineering project
  • Execution of whatever is decided
  • Follow-up after the meeting
  • Any document with legal validity

If the path calls for execution, each service has a page and a price, and you hire it only if you want. The US$ 399 is not a down payment on anything and isn't credited toward any service: you paid to get the answer.

The meeting table: a laptop open on the call and Marlon's notebook.
The one thing you can take away in writing

If you authorize it, our AI generates the meeting minutes and sends them to your email (a reminder, not an opinion). Video, transcript and minutes: you turn each one on and off.

A 100% confidential meeting: the minutes don't carry your name. And when the subject calls for secrecy, on either side, Marlon himself turns off the recording. Most people choose not to record, and that's perfectly fine.

How it works

From purchase to meeting,with no one in between.

You hire and schedule it yourself, on the site. If you want help, it's there, but it's optional.

Step 1 · On the sitePick the time and pay

Each Tuesday's slots are released about 15 days in advance. No talking to a salesperson.

Step 2 · AutomaticQuick questionnaire about your case

What you want to solve, the size of the project, whether you've already talked to other firms and whether you already have a Paraguayan document.

Step 3 · Optional and freeScreening with a manager

If you want, a chat beforehand: the manager clears up basic questions at no cost and passes the summary to Marlon, who joins the meeting already knowing your case. Whoever prefers goes straight in.

Step 4 · Before the dayPreparation material

A short video and a PDF on how to make the most of the 50 minutes, because the right question is worth more than a long answer.

Step 5 · On the day50 minutes with Marlon

Portuguese or Spanish directly with him. Need English? The meeting gains 20 extra minutes and a Romper interpreter (at the same price, in an end-of-day slot).

A partner, spouse, accountant or lawyer can join the call, at no cost. An honest warning: splitting the 50 minutes across two or three different projects scatters the conversation (we accept it, but it rarely pays off).

Zero risk on your side

Did the meeting and didn't like it?100% of your money back.

No justification, no excuse, no “explain the reason to me”. You talk to a manager, confirm by email, and the refund goes back through the same payment method.

No justifying

We don't ask for a reason. If the meeting didn't deliver, the money comes back.

There's never been a request

The guarantee has existed from the start and to this day no one has used it. It's the number we're proudest of.

Needed to reschedule?

No problem, we reschedule once or twice. Businessperson to businessperson, life happens.

Missed it without notice?

There's no refund: the slot was reserved for you and no one else could use it. But it can be rescheduled.

The 10 questions that come up mostabout this meeting

Pick your case: the answers change.

Is US$ 399 worth it if you can simply tell me “no”?
It's worth it precisely for that. Seven out of ten industrial projects leave here with a no, and each one saved months of travel, documentation and budget on top of an operation that didn't add up. The expensive thing isn't hearing no: it's hearing yes from someone who just wanted to sell you something.
Does the meeting replace the US$ 4,500 Industrial Diagnosis?
No. The meeting is the conversation that says whether it makes sense to proceed; the Diagnosis is the study with YOUR numbers, with a written Go/No-Go verdict. Many people resolve everything in 50 minutes and never need the Diagnosis.
Does Marlon understand my specific sector?
What's analyzed isn't your machine, it's whether Paraguay sustains your operation: energy, labor, logistics, rule of origin, regime and market. That applies to any sector. When the case calls for engineering, we say so on the spot.
Do we leave with the regime defined: maquila, 60/90, standard?
You leave with a reading of which regime fits your case and why. The formal classification is part of the structuring, with a document and a filing, not part of a conversation.
Can I bring my engineer or partner?
You can, at no extra cost. Just don't split the meeting between two different projects: 50 minutes yield a lot for one case and little for three.
Do I need the project ready for the meeting to be worthwhile?
No. You need to know what you produce, how much you intend to invest and who you sell to. With that, a decision is possible. Without it, it turns into 50 minutes of presentation.
Do you sign off on any study afterward?
Not in this meeting. Nothing here leaves signed: no opinion, no project. What leaves is a decision, and the AI minutes if you authorize them.
If the verdict is yes, do you execute?
Romper handles paperwork and agencies: incorporation, licenses, SUACE, regime, accounting. Construction, machinery and engineering are yours. We say that before you hire, not after.
How long until I get a time slot?
Today, 3 to 4 weeks. If your industrial schedule can't wait, there's a weekly urgent slot, outside business hours, for US$ 997.
And if I leave the meeting thinking it wasn't worth it?
You ask for your money back and get 100%, without explaining why. To this day no one has asked, and the offer still stands.
What do I take from a meeting like this if no document comes out?
You take the decision: whether Paraguay fits what you want to protect, which structure fits, in what order, and what NOT to do. The document is produced later, and only if there's something to produce.
Do you recommend where to invest?
We don't recommend businesses or promise returns, and be wary of anyone who does. What we discuss is structure: how the capital comes in, where it stays and how the assets are organized.
Does a private investment group really exist?
It exists, with limited access, it's not for everyone and it normally opens to those who are already Romper clients. It's not sold through the site: if it makes sense for your case, Marlon presents it in the meeting.
How do I bring my money in without making a mess?
It's one of the most requested topics. There's a documented path, and there are shortcuts that cost you your assets, like splitting transfers to dodge controls. The meeting tells one from the other in plain terms.
Does the meeting cover holding and succession?
It covers the strategic reading: what the holding solves in your case, what it doesn't solve and the right order. The setup is its own service, with the in-house legal team.
Can my accountant take part?
Welcome, at no cost. It tends to speed things up: those who come with their accountant leave with the decision made instead of relaying it later.
Is the conversation confidential?
One hundred percent. And recording is optional: if the subject calls for secrecy (on either side), Marlon himself turns off the recording. The minutes, when they exist, don't carry your name.
Is the US$ 399 credited toward any service?
No. It's not a down payment on anything. If the verdict is no, you buy nothing more, and that's what you paid for.
Can the conversation be started early?
It can: there's an optional free screening with a manager beforehand, and its summary goes to Marlon. That way the 50 minutes start on your case, not on the introduction.
Why is the price the highest on the market?
Because it's the only Romper time slot where no one is trying to sell you a service. If it isn't worth it, the money comes back, in full and without justification.
I just want to live in Paraguay. Do I have to pay US$ 399?
Probably not. Moving with documentation, cédula and accounting has a page, a price and a manager (free, on WhatsApp). The meeting is for those about to put money on the table who still don't know whether they should.
When is it worthwhile for a family?
When there are assets to bring in or protect, succession to organize, or when you're still deciding whether to change countries. For the process itself, the manager solves it better and costs nothing.
Can my wife and children take part?
They can, at no extra cost, and it's usually good: a family decision is made together. Just avoid turning the meeting into several cases at once.
I'm retired. Does the meeting cover my pension?
It covers what it means within your structure: where the income comes from, how it reaches here and what changes in your tax residency. Your country's pension rules are for a professional over there. Our specialty is Paraguay.
Can I ask about schools, neighborhoods and cost of living?
You can, but it's expensive for that, and Marlon speaks openly about those topics on the channel, for free. Save the 50 minutes for what only he can solve.
How do I know if my case is simple?
If you've already decided to come and only need documentation and accounting, it's simple, and the manager is enough. The thermometer in the middle of this page places you in five seconds.
What if I book and realize I didn't need it?
You ask for the refund after the meeting and get 100%, without justifying. And if you realize beforehand, reschedule or talk to a manager. We don't push to sell you what you don't need.
Is the meeting in Portuguese?
Portuguese or Spanish, directly with Marlon. In English, the meeting gains 20 extra minutes with a Romper interpreter (same price, in an end-of-day slot).
Do I need to go to Asunción?
No. It's online, from wherever you are. Those already around here can ask for it to be at the headquarters.
And if I need to talk to someone before the meeting?
Talk to a manager today, for free. Most family emergencies are resolved right there. If you still need Marlon quickly, there's the weekly urgent slot.
I'm a digital nomad. Do I need the consulting?
In most cases, no, and we'd rather say so now. Admission, cédula, tax exit, LLC and accounting each have a page, a price and a free manager. The meeting comes in when there's capital, assets or an underlying doubt.
Why are three out of five nomads disqualified?
Because many people arrive wanting a Paraguay that doesn't exist: zero tax without changing tax residency, or income that actually arises in the country of origin. Hearing that in 50 minutes is cheaper than finding out after moving.
Does the meeting serve to set up my structure?
It serves to decide the structure. Setting it up is execution, and each piece has its own service, with no need for consulting first.
I get paid through a platform and want to know whether I can zero out my tax. Does that fit here?
It fits, and it's where the conversation gets uncomfortable in just the right way: which part of your income can go to zero, which can't and what needs to change for it to hold. No promises.
I already have an LLC and heard about Law 14,754. Does the meeting solve it?
It helps read your scenario and decide the order of corrections. The Brazilian treatment itself is for a professional over there. Our specialty is the Paraguayan and American side.
Is it worth it if my revenue is still small?
Probably not. Below a US$ 70,000 project, the free manager usually solves it, and the calculator on the remote-workers page already shows from what point the structure pays for itself.
Can the meeting be recorded?
It can: video, transcript and minutes are optional and you turn each one on. If the subject calls for secrecy, Marlon turns it off. Most prefer no recording.
I'm outside Brazil, in another time zone. How do I schedule?
You pick the time on the site, with the time zone converted on screen. If none work, the urgent slot takes place outside business hours, weekends included.
If I later want to hire, is the amount credited?
It isn't credited. The US$ 399 pays for the answer, even when the answer is “don't set up anything”.
I don't even know what questions to ask. Is the meeting worth it?
It is, and we solve that beforehand: after the purchase a video and a preparation PDF arrive, and there's the optional free screening with a manager. Arriving prepared doubles the value of the 50 minutes.

If you've made it this farand still want the meeting, it's for you.

This page tried to turn you away three times. If none of that convinced you to go straight to the service or to the manager, then your case is one of those worth 50 minutes with Marlon, with your money 100% back if you disagree afterward.
