Mexico to Paraguay visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Paraguay without a visa?

Up to 90 days per entry. For longer stays you must request an extension from Paraguayan migration or apply for the appropriate visa.

Q: Is there an entry or reciprocity fee for Mexicans?

No. Reciprocity fees apply only to citizens of the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Russia and Taiwan. Mexican travelers pay nothing.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your Mexican passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure date, with at least two blank pages.

Q: Do I need a return or onward ticket?

It is strongly recommended. Immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel and sufficient funds to confirm you will leave within the visa-free period.

Q: Does Paraguay require ETIAS or have a Schengen rule?

No. Paraguay is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.

No visa is required. Mexican ordinary passport holders can enter Paraguay visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days; only a valid passport and proof of onward travel are needed. Mexico (MX) ordinary passport holders do not need a visa to visit Paraguay for tourism or short visits. Mexico is on Paraguay's visa-exemption list, granting visa-free entry for up to 90 days per visit. Entry is granted on presentation of a passport valid for at least six months, and immigration officers may ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. Unlike US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, Russian and Taiwanese travelers, Mexicans pay NO reciprocity or entry fee. Paraguay is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so no ETIAS or Schengen 90/180 rule applies. The visa-free verdict is confirmed by the Wikipedia visa policy of Paraguay page and the visa requirements for Mexican citizens page; both report a 90-day visa-free allowance with no special conditions. Travelers should always confirm the latest rules with the Paraguayan Embassy in Mexico City before departure, as entry policies can change.
