Frequently asked questions
No. Paraguay does not offer visa on arrival for Indonesian citizens. You must obtain a visa from a Paraguayan embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 5 to 15 business days after you submit your application. Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your planned departure to allow for any delays.
The visa fee varies by embassy but is generally around USD 50–100. Check with the specific embassy or consulate where you apply for the exact amount.
There is no Paraguayan embassy in Indonesia. The nearest options are the Paraguayan Embassy in Singapore or the consulate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You may need to mail your passport or apply in person — confirm with the embassy first.
You'll need a passport valid for 6+ months, completed application form, two passport photos, return flight booking, first night hotel confirmation, and possibly bank statements. The embassy may request additional documents — check their website or call ahead.
Tourist visas are not extendable. You must leave before the visa expires. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to apply for a different visa type from within Paraguay, which is complicated and not guaranteed.
Paraguay does not require a yellow fever vaccine for entry from Indonesia. However, if you're traveling from a country with yellow fever, you may need proof of vaccination. Check with the embassy for your specific itinerary.
