What the Paraguay visa rules mean for Peru travellers

Peru citizens can enter Paraguay without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Peru passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.

Overstay penalties

Foreigners admitted in the categories of the relevant chapter of the Migration Law may stay up to 90 calendar days, extendable once at their request for no longer than the period first granted. When the authorised stay ends, the foreigner must leave or apply for residence; otherwise fines and other sanctions apply. A foreigner found at the migration control post to have exceeded the authorised transitory stay is fined up to 6 jornales (daily wages). A repeat offence raises the fine by up to 50%.
