Hungarian passport holders can enter Paraguay without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This policy has been in place for years and remains unchanged in 2026. Simply arrive at the airport or land border with your passport and you're good to go.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Hungarian passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your 90-day stay. Paraguay does not require 6 months of remaining validity beyond departure, but airlines may still ask for it at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Paraguay | Immigration officers at Silvio Pettirossi Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing you leave Paraguay within 90 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a recent bank statement or around $500 USD in cash or cards. Paraguay does not enforce a fixed minimum, but showing you can support yourself speeds things up. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Paraguay, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
No visa, no fees, no forms
Hungarian passport holders get 90 days visa-free with zero paperwork. Just your passport and a return ticket.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) or land border
Most visitors fly into Asunción. At the airport, follow signs to 'Migración' after baggage claim. For land borders (e.g., from Argentina or Brazil), you'll find an immigration booth at the crossing.
2
Present your passport and ticket
Hand over your passport and, if asked, your return/onward ticket. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. No forms to fill out.
3
Receive your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the date of entry and writes '90 days' by hand. That's it — you're in. Keep the stamp visible in case you need to show it later.
