Paraguay's foreign ministry lists the countries whose nationals do not need a visa, among them the EU states, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and says that anyone whose country is not listed does need one. The Dirección Nacional de Migraciones admits non-resident foreigners for a maximum of 90 days, extendable once, and accepts the national identity document of Mercosur and associated-country citizens as a travel document. Visa applications are made through the foreign ministry's online form, followed by an interview.

Passport validity: The Dirección Nacional de Migraciones lists a valid passport as the travel document for non-resident foreigners and says that if you enter with a travel document close to expiry, the immigration authority grants the length of stay taking the document's expiry date into account. It says the national identity document of the country of origin is valid exclusively for Mercosur citizens travelling to another member or associated country: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.
Vaccinations: Paraguay's health ministry requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate from foreigners aged 1 to 59 entering from the risk zones it lists: Bolivia (Santa Cruz); Brazil (Amazonas, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul and Roraima); Colombia (Caquetá, Huila, Nariño, Putumayo, Vaupés and Tolima); Guyana (Boa Vista and Siparuni); Peru (Huánuco, Junín, Madre de Dios, San Martín and Ucayali). Travellers should be vaccinated at least 10 days before travel. Passengers in transit for up to 24 hours in those zones are exempt.
