Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | You need a visa before traveling to Paraguay. Apply at the nearest Paraguayan embassy or consulate — there is no eVisa or online application system. Processing times vary by location, so start at least 4 weeks before your trip.Check visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your planned departure date from Paraguay. Airlines check this at check-in and you will be denied boarding if your passport expires sooner. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport ask for proof of a return or onward flight out of Paraguay. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from your host in Paraguay help speed up immigration. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Immigration may ask how you plan to support yourself during your stay. Carry bank statements or a credit card showing sufficient funds — around $500 USD equivalent is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
