Useful tips

 * When applying for the visa, you must have: two photocopies of your passport information page, two copies of the visa application form per applicant, two recent 2" x 2" passport photos in color, a letter from the employer or sponsoring company and a photocopy of said letter when travelling for business purposes, and the fee.


 * Many countries, including Australia and New Zealand, do not have diplomatic relations with Paraguay. Nationals of these countries can expect a longer wait for their visas (up to 2 to 3 weeks).


 * If you apply for a visa in person at an embassy or consulate, you can typically get the visa the same day.
