Tips for Germany travelers

  • Paraguay is less touristed than its neighbors, so plan ahead for accommodation and transport bookings, particularly outside Asunción
  • Carry small denominations of Paraguayan guaraní, as US dollars and euros are not always accepted outside major hotels
  • Travel insurance with medical coverage is advisable, as healthcare quality varies significantly outside the capital
  • If crossing overland into Argentina, Brazil, or Bolivia, keep your Paraguayan entry stamp for reference at the next border
  • Residency processing, if pursued, requires an apostilled and translated police clearance certificate from Germany
