Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Ensure Visa Exemption Eligibility

Verify that you hold a valid, multiple-entry visa or residence permit from the United States, Canada, or any Schengen Area member state.

2

Prepare Travel Documents

Assemble your valid Indian passport containing the qualifying visa, along with confirmed reservations for luxury accommodations and return flights.

3

Arrive at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport

Present your passport and the valid qualifying visa to the immigration authorities in Asunción for immediate entry clearance.

Required Documents

  • Valid Indian passport (minimum 6 months validity from the date of arrival)
  • A valid, multiple-entry visa or residence permit issued by the USA, Canada, or a Schengen state
  • Confirmed round-trip or onward flight reservations
  • Proof of premium accommodation (e.g., confirmed bookings at luxury hotels in Asunción or exclusive private estancias)

Important Tips

  • The qualifying visa (US, Canada, or Schengen) must remain valid for the entire duration of your intended stay in Paraguay.

Paraguay is often called the 'Heart of South America,' a land of vast natural beauty and a unique dual culture where Spanish and the indigenous Guarani language coexist and blend beautifully. From the historic Jesuit Missions to the untamed Chaco wilderness, it offers a tranquil and authentic experience far from the typical tourist crowds.
