Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Travel to Paraguay

Fly into Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) in Asunción or enter via land borders (e.g., from Brazil or Argentina).

2

Immigration Check

Present your Spanish passport and return ticket to the immigration officer to receive your entry stamp.

3

Customs Declaration

Complete a standard customs declaration form before leaving the arrivals area.

Required Documents

  • Valid Spanish Passport (must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival)
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket
  • Proof of sufficient funds (seldom checked, but good to have)
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate (required ONLY if arriving from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission)

Important Tips

  • If crossing by land (e.g., at Ciudad del Este), ensure you actively seek out the immigration office to get your passport stamped; otherwise, you will face fines when leaving.
  • The local currency is the Paraguayan Guaraní (PYG). Bring clean, untorn USD or Euros to exchange, as damaged bills are often rejected.
  • Dengue fever is a risk, especially during the rainy season (December to March). Use mosquito repellent regularly.
  • Public transport in Asunción (buses) is cheap but can be chaotic; rideshare apps like Uber or Bolt are safer and very affordable.
  • Learn some basic Spanish; while the indigenous language Guaraní is widely spoken, Spanish is the primary language for visitors.

Easiest Way to Get It

Fly into Asunción with a valid passport and return ticket, get your 90-day stamp, and use rideshare apps for safe and easy transportation around the capital.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover 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.

Asunción
One of the oldest cities in South America, known for its green avenues, grand colonial buildings, and vibrant riverfront.

Best Time: April to September (Mild weather; avoids the intense summer heat)
Currency: Paraguayan Guaraní (PYG)
Daily Budget: $40-80/day
Safety & Scams
Generally safe for travelers; petty crime like bag snatching can occur in downtown Asunción and Ciudad del Este; avoid walking in poorly lit areas at night; traffic can be chaotic—be careful when crossing roads; healthcare is good in private clinics of Asunción but limited in rural areas; tap water is chlorinated in major cities but bottled water is safer for visitors.
Getting Around
Buses are the main mode of transport, both for intercity and intracity travel; 'Colectivos' in Asunción are colorful and old-fashioned; taxis and ride-sharing apps (like Muv and Uber) are common and safe in cities; boat tours on the Paraguay River offer scenic views.
Cultural Etiquette
Greetings involve a handshake or a double kiss on the cheeks; sharing 'Tereré' (cold herbal tea) is a fundamental social ritual and a sign of friendship; punctuality is relaxed ('Hora Paraguaya'); respect for elders is deeply ingrained.
Internet & Connectivity
Digital infrastructure is stable in major cities; 4G is widely available via Personal, Tigo, and Claro; high-speed Wi-Fi is universal in hotels and modern shopping malls in Asunción; connectivity can be spotty in the remote Chaco region.
