There’s a reason why we spend so much of our focus on the Southern Cone here at Mavericks.
From a Five Flags perspective, countries like Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay provide a great option — whether as a place of residency, banking, or merely as a playground.
Plus, there’s also the rise of political ideas centered around free markets in places like Argentina — something we can get behind as Mavericks — and the investment opportunities these changes open up.
Now, we’ll be the first to admit that while planting those flags can be extremely rewarding and compelling, setting them up is often a giant “ishtshow.”
Before you know it, you’re wading through Aconcagua-sized mountains of government red tape, things are taking waaay longer than they should (certainly longer than you’d expected going in), and you’re paying a bunch of extra various “advisory fees” to… ahem… fixers to help solve these problems.
If you’ve dealt with any kind of immigration process in South America, you know how critical it is to work with reliable, honest experts who are well versed in navigating the bureaucratic minefield and aren’t out there to just make a quick buck off of “gullible Gringos.”
Helping you avoid those headaches is precisely why we launched Mavericks (one of the reasons, anyway).
On top of that, we are committed to adding new member perks for Mavericks and making the current annual membership fee seem trivial compared to the tangible benefits you get as a member (plus, of course, giving you access to the amazing, like-minded people and industry experts).
New Benefits for Mavericks
Now, onto those tangible benefits, industry experts, and how to put more dollares in your pocket…
We have just inked partnerships with multiple specialists focused on immigration to the countries in the Southern Cone.
All of these are trusted experts from our network that we have personally used. Plus, as a Maverick, you’re now able to save hundreds (or even thousands of dollars in some cases) when using their services.
The first partnership is with Celano & Asociados, a Buenos Aires-based legal office focused on services such as immigration, residency, citizenship, business incorporation, etc.
Some of you might’ve met its founder, Gabriel Celano, at last year’s event in Buenos Aires.
But Mavericks can now get a discount anywhere between 10-15% (depending on the service) when engaging Celano’s services.
Denisa hosted a webinar with Gabriel on the topic of immigrating to Argentina — from temporary residency and eventually citizenship. The entire conversation was just posted on the Partners and Affiliates page of the Mavericks portal.
Here is the link to the webinar replay
The second partnership we just added to your Mavericks membership is with Uruguay immigration specialists PuntaConsultants, headed by Gonzalo Alexander Gomez. He’ll be joining us live on an upcoming webinar on June 3rd at 6PM UK.
As a Maverick, you can enjoy the following benefits when engaging with PuntaConsultants.
For permanent residency, you get a discount of 10% on PR (permanent residency) fees. This brings the total cost down to US$4,480 for single applicants or US$8,400 for couples.
Gonzalo also offered to provide free assistance with bank account opening in Uruguay when you use their services for permanent residency.
But wait, there’s more!!
No, it’s not FREE steak knives.
Mavericks can get a 50% discount when getting their foreign driver’s license converted with the help of Gonzalo and his team.
Normally, the cost of this would be US$500. But with the 50% discount, you’re paying just $250.
So, we have Argentina and Uruguay covered.
The Dirty Secret About Paraguay
Additionally, for those of you interested in immigration options in Paraguay, here is a trusted expert that we have personally used.
Now, if you have investigated Paraguay as a potential residency before, you’ve undoubtedly come across “experts” (usually on Twitter X) touting the country as some sort of a Shangri-La and using that as a conduit to sell immigration services.
What they don’t tell you is that behind the scenes, many of them have little to no boots-on-the-ground experience.
Enter Robert, our trusted connection — who has been handling Paraguayan immigration long before it became trendy. He’s the one who does the actual work, and when you go through intermediaries, you’ll end up paying his fee plus a markup from the middlemen.
Robert’s fees are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the high level of service and personal attention he provides to his clients. Unfortunately, he cannot offer any further discounts for Mavericks.
However, if you’re looking for someone reliable without the middlemen, Robert is the go-to person. Originally from Germany, his meticulous attention to detail and speed reflect his background, and with 30 years of experience in Paraguay, you can trust he knows the ropes inside and out. Plus, Robert has already been tested by a couple of trusted Mavericks who loved his service.
We’ll have Robert join us for a webinar in the near future. But in the meantime, feel free to reach out to him directly. And feel free to mention that you’re a Maverick for a white glove treatment.
We have added full contact information and further details for each immigration specialist to the Directory section on Mavericks Social (paid membership is required for access).
P.S. If you haven’t yet upgraded your membership, this might be a good moment to reconsider.

And a Quick Reminder…
And while on the topic of Southern Cone immigration, we highly encourage you to leverage the Mavericks network.
There are dozens of Mavericks who have already been down that road before you.
They secured their residencies in those countries. They have jumped through all the bureaucratic hoops, dealt with attorneys, and answered all the questions government bureaucrats ask in those situations.
If you have any questions or concerns about residency options in Argentina, Paraguay, or Uruguay, don’t hesitate to use Mavericks Social and ask away in the dedicated Southern Cone forum.

And lastly, we also have a couple of other exciting partnerships in the works right now. We’ll have more to share with you very soon.
Cheers,
Mavericks Team
