What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) in Asunción
Most flights from Europe arrive via São Paulo or Buenos Aires. After landing, follow signs to 'Migración' (Immigration). Queues are usually short — 10–20 minutes.
2
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport (with blank page) and be ready to show your return ticket and accommodation booking if asked. The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. No visa fee.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually a green/red channel system. If you have nothing to declare, go through the green channel.
