Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Paraguay. No minimum validity period beyond your departure date is required by Paraguayan law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Paraguay | Immigration officers at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. Overland exits are less strictly checked, but still carry proof. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number covers this. No need to book the whole stay — first night is usually enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Paraguay does not publish a fixed minimum amount, but carrying around $500 USD in cash or having a credit card with a reasonable limit satisfies most officers. ATMs are widely available in Asunción and Ciudad del Este. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but don't skip the basics
Paraguay is straightforward for Luxembourg passport holders — no visa, no arrival form. But immigration does check passport validity and onward tickets. Have those ready and you'll breeze through.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU)
Most Luxembourg travellers fly into Asunción. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Migración' (Immigration). Queues are usually short, but can get busy during peak hours (late afternoon).
2
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport (valid 6+ months) and your return/onward ticket. The officer may ask for proof of accommodation or funds. Answer clearly and politely. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Customs is usually green/red channel — if you have nothing to declare, go through the green channel. No arrival declaration form is required.
