United Arab Emirates to Paraguay visa requirements

Q: Is 6-month passport validity required?

Yes. UAE MoFA's current Paraguay travel page says the passport must be valid for at least 6 months.

Q: Can I study or work on visa-free entry?

No. UAE MoFA says study and work require visa applications through Paraguay's mission in Abu Dhabi.

Q: What documents should I carry?

A UAE passport valid at least 6 months, blank page, return/onward ticket, accommodation/host details, sufficient funds, passport/ID copy, and any health document required by your itinerary.

UAE ordinary passport holders can enter Paraguay visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. Passport validity is not merely recommended: UAE MoFA's current Paraguay page says the passport must be valid for at least 6 months. UAE ordinary passport holders are visa-free for Paraguay. UAE MoFA's Paraguay page, last modified on 16 June 2025, lists diplomatic, special, official, and normal UAE passports as Visa Free, and states that UAE nationals may stay 90 days for tourism. The page also gives different treatment for other purposes: study and work require a visa application through Paraguay's mission in Abu Dhabi, while medical treatment is listed as 90 days and extendable depending on the medical plan. The prior entry correctly said tourism is visa-free for 90 days, but it treated six-month passport validity as only a recommended buffer. That is inaccurate for the current UAE MoFA source: its general travel tips state the passport must be valid for at least 6 months. This entry also removes tertiary visa-policy sources and keeps the fee at zero because the UAE-Paraguay visa waiver replaced the former visa-on-arrival/fee pathway for UAE nationals.
