Assuming every passport is treated alike
Advice from another traveller may concern a different nationality. Start with your own passport and route.

Paraguay visa: check your route before you travel
Whether you need a visa to enter Paraguay depends on your nationality. We help you check the route that applies to you and prepare a consular application when one is needed, without treating another traveller’s experience as your instructions.
Who this is for
- You are planning a visit and want to check whether your nationality allows visa-free entry, a visa on arrival or requires a consular application before travel.
- You have found conflicting advice online and need to separate your own entry questions from someone else’s experience with a different passport.
- You need help organising a consular file and coordinating the appointment once the applicable route and instructions have been confirmed.
How we help you
Check your nationality and route
Some nationalities enter visa-free, some eligible nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Silvio Pettirossi airport in Asunción, and others must apply at a Paraguayan consulate before travelling. We check which route applies to you.
Clarify your purpose
Tell us whether you are planning tourism, a business visit or something else. We use your actual plans to frame the questions for the relevant consulate instead of guessing from a broad visa label.
Review document instructions
We help check what the consulate asks for in your case. Questions can include how to present your passport details, travel purpose and supporting material; this is a preparation discussion, not a universal required-document list.
Prepare the consular file
Once instructions are confirmed, we help organise the information and documents for your application. You review the details with us so that the file reflects your circumstances and any unresolved questions stay visible.
Coordinate the appointment
We help coordinate the consular appointment according to the applicable instructions. Availability and the assessment remain with the authority; our involvement does not establish eligibility or decide whether you may enter.

Where preparation can go wrong
Confusing entry with residency
For residency, citizenship or living in Paraguay, use the separate Paraguay Residency Guide linked from our residency page.
Treating a checklist as official confirmation
An online list cannot confirm your individual instructions. Check the consulate’s requirements before preparing the file.

Is a visa on arrival available in Paraguay?
Some eligible nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Silvio Pettirossi airport in Asunción. We check your nationality; do not assume this route applies to you.

They need to be checked for your nationality and route. We help confirm the consular document instructions for your intended visit, without presenting a universal checklist.
Is a business visit the same as tourism?
Tell us your actual purpose. We check your nationality-dependent route and ask the consulate which instructions apply to your plans.
Can you help with a Paraguay work visa?
We start with your nationality and proposed activity, then clarify the entry route and the questions to put to the authority. We do not treat an entry route as permission to work.
Does a US citizen need a Paraguay visa?
