Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Paraguay. Airlines at check-in may enforce a 6-month validity rule, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended | 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. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host ready to show. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. A recent bank statement or credit card usually satisfies this request. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Paraguay. Airlines check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding — no exceptions.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration officers may ask to see proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone or a printed copy is fine. Without it, you could be questioned or refused entry.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you leave, check your passport validity (6+ months), print or save your return ticket, and have your first night's accommodation address handy. If you're flying into Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) in Asunción, you'll go through immigration there.
2
Arrive at immigration
At the airport, follow signs to 'Migraciones' (immigration). Join the queue for foreign passports. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will stamp your passport and may ask how long you're staying and where you're staying.
3
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the number of days you're allowed to stay (usually 90). Check the stamp before you walk away. If something looks wrong, ask the officer to correct it.
4
Exit immigration and collect luggage
After the stamp, you'll pass through customs. There's usually a green 'nothing to declare' lane and a red 'goods to declare' lane. If you have nothing to declare, go through green. Then collect your bags and exit.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'll need to leave Paraguay and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before your 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No, Paraguay does not require a yellow fever vaccine for entry from Slovenia. However, if you've recently been in a country with yellow fever, you may need proof of vaccination. Check with your airline or the Paraguayan embassy if you're transiting through a high-risk area.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Paraguayan immigration. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, the visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and transit only. You cannot work or study without the appropriate visa. If you plan to work, you'll need to apply for a work visa at a Paraguayan embassy before traveling.
Yes, there is a departure tax of about 30 USD (approx. 200,000 PYG) for international flights, but it's usually included in your airline ticket. Check your ticket or ask your airline. If not included, you pay at the airport before security.
