Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit PY?

Canadian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Paraguay. You may enter visa-free for up to 90 days, provided your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure and you can show proof of onward/return travel. Paraguay grants visa-free entry to Canadian ordinary passport holders for tourism and business stays of up to 90 days. This is part of Paraguay's standard visa-exemption policy covering roughly 95 nationalities, including Canada, the United States, the EU and Japan. No advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required for short tourist visits. On arrival, an officer of the National Directorate of Migration (Direccion Nacional de Migraciones) records your entry and may grant up to 90 days; this can be extended once for a further 90 days by applying in-country before the original permit expires. The Government of Canada confirms no visa is required and that your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your expected departure date. Border officials may ask for proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds. Paraguay is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. An airport departure tax applies when leaving by air, though it is usually bundled into the airline ticket price. Because entry rules can change, travelers should reconfirm with the Embassy of Paraguay in Ottawa or IATA Travel Centre shortly before departure.
