US passport holders enter Paraguay visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) in Asuncion, immigration stamps your passport after reviewing your return or onward ticket.
The 90-day stay can be extended at the Direccion General de Migraciones in Asuncion. Paraguay is a Mercosur member, and crossing into Argentina or Brazil from border cities is common.
