Processing takes 5–15 working days depending on the consulate.Check visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Paraguay. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport ask for proof of a return or onward flight. A printed itinerary or e-ticket showing your departure from Paraguay within the visa validity period works. | Required |
