Danish passport holders can enter Paraguay without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This policy started in 2024 and still applies in 2026. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Danish passport needs to be valid for the full 90 days you plan to stay in Paraguay. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound travel proof | Immigration at Silvio Pettirossi Airport in Asunción asks for proof of onward travel. A return ticket to Denmark or a flight to a third country within 90 days works. Budget airlines flying into Paraguay are strict about this at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers occasionally ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from a Paraguayan host ready. Hostels and guesthouses are fine — just show the booking confirmation on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Paraguay does not publish a minimum amount, but carrying around $500 USD in cash or having a bank statement showing a few thousand DKK covers you. ATMs in Asunción dispense both USD and PYG. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Paraguay. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away even if you plan to leave before it expires.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free period cannot be extended. If you overstay, you'll face daily fines and possible entry restrictions. Plan your exit accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU)
Most flights land in Asunción. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Migración' (Immigration). The queue moves quickly, but peak hours (late afternoon) can be slower.
2
Present your passport at the immigration counter
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket or accommodation proof. Answer clearly. They'll stamp you in for up to 90 days.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually a green/red channel system. If you have nothing to declare, walk through the green channel.
4
Exit the arrivals hall
Once through customs, you're free to leave. Taxis and ride-shares are available outside. Keep your passport handy for any random checks.
