Questions & Answers

Paraguay Visa FAQ

Do I need a visa for Paraguay?

Which Paraguay visa do I need?

Visa type depends on the purpose of your trip. Select your passport above to see what is available to you.

How long can I stay in Paraguay?

▼
Up to 90 days per visit.

Is the Paraguay visa single or multiple entry?

Which nationalities do not need a visa for Paraguay?

▼
Citizens of 82 countries do not need a visa for Paraguay, including Andorra, Anguilla, Argentina, Aruba, Australia and Austria. Choose your passport above to check yours.

How much does a Paraguay visa cost?

▼
On a US passport the government fee is $0.00 and our service fee starts at $59.00, so a standard application totals $59.00. Government fees are set by Paraguay and vary by nationality and visa type.

Why is there a service fee on top of the government fee?

▼
The government fee is paid to Paraguay. Our fee covers checking your photo, passport details and supporting documents against the current rules before the application is filed — the errors that cause most rejections — plus tracking and support until your visa is issued.

What happens if my application is refused?

▼
Our service fee is refunded if we cannot deliver your approved visa. Where the refusal is caused by an error on our side we correct and resubmit at no extra charge. Government fees are not refundable once an application has been filed.

How long does a Paraguay visa take?

▼
Government processing normally takes 3–5 days. Paraguay asks travellers to apply at least 4 days before arrival, and no government guarantees a decision date — apply as early as you can.

How do I apply for a Paraguay visa online?

▼
Complete our application form — it takes most travellers five to ten minutes — and upload your passport page and photo. A specialist reviews everything before submission, files it on the government portal, and emails your approved visa.

What documents do I need for a Paraguay visa?

▼
A passport valid for at least six months on the date you arrive, a recent digital photograph that meets Paraguay's specification, and a scan of your passport biographical page. Business and medical applications also need supporting paperwork such as an invitation or hospital letter.

What are the Paraguay visa photo requirements?

▼
A recent, front-facing colour photograph with a plain white background, no glasses and no head covering except for religious reasons. Photo problems are one of the most common causes of refusal, so we check yours against the current specification before filing.

Can I apply for my whole family at once?

▼
Yes. Set the number of travellers in the pricing panel and we manage the applications together so names, dates and documents stay consistent across the group.

How do I use my Paraguay visa at the airport?

▼
Carry a printed copy of your approved visa PDF along with your passport. Immigration scans it at the counter; some airlines also check it before boarding, so have it printed before you get to the airport.

Can I extend my Paraguay visa?

▼
No. Paraguay does not extend this visa — you must leave the country and apply again.

What are the Paraguay overstay penalties?

▼
Around $8 per day overstayed. Overstaying can also mean a multi-year entry ban and removal, and it is recorded against future applications.
