Alright, let me tell you about my recent adventure trying to get a Paraguay visa. I’ve been wanting to go there for ages, and I finally decided to do it. So, the first thing I did was to figure out what kind of visa I needed. Turns out, there are different types depending on why you’re going.
I needed a tourist visa, since I’m just going for a vacation. Once I knew that, I started gathering all the documents they ask for. You know, the usual stuff: passport, photos, proof of where I’m staying, and that I can afford the trip. It took me a couple of days to get everything in order. I even double-checked the requirements on their official website just to be sure.
Next up, I filled out the application form online. It was pretty straightforward, asking for all my personal details and travel plans. After submitting the form, I had to pay the visa fee. That’s done online too, thankfully. Made it pretty convenient.

After paying, I got an email confirmation that my application was received. Then it was just a waiting game. They said it could take a few weeks, so I just kept myself busy with other stuff. Finally, after what felt like forever, I got another email.
Guess what? My visa was approved! They sent me an electronic authorization, which is basically an e-visa. That means I don’t need a physical sticker on my passport. Pretty cool, right?
Here’s a quick rundown of the steps I took:
- Figured out the visa type I needed (tourist visa in my case).
- Gathered all the necessary documents.
- Filled out the online application form.
- Paid the visa fee online.
- Waited for the application to be processed.
- Received the e-visa authorization via email.
Overall, the process was relatively smooth. It did take some time, but it wasn’t overly complicated. If you’re planning to visit Paraguay, just make sure you give yourself enough time to apply for the visa and get all your documents ready. It’s definitely worth the effort!
