| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. | Required |

No embassy in Jordan — plan ahead
The nearest Paraguayan embassy is in Cairo, Egypt. You may need to mail your passport or travel there in person. Start the process at least 6 weeks before your trip to avoid delays.
Visa-free alternatives nearby
If you're flexible, consider visiting neighboring countries like Argentina or Brazil — both are visa-free for Jordanians for tourism. Paraguay requires a visa, so factor that into your planning.
