No visa is required for Paraguayan citizens for short tourist stays in Portugal, provided they meet entry conditions. The permitted stay duration is generally up to 90 days.
Paraguayan travelers planning a short tourist visit to Portugal should be aware that, under the verified regime, no visa is necessary. However, they must meet certain entry conditions. This guide provides essential information to prepare your trip in compliance with regulations.

For short tourist stays, Paraguayan citizens are exempt from needing a visa to enter Portugal. No visa is necessary if entry and stay conditions are met. This exemption typically applies to stays up to 90 days.
90 days per 180-day period

Entry to Portugal should be made in accordance with entry conditions, including having all necessary documents. The authorized stay duration may vary, but travelers are advised to arrive with all documents in order. Always verify conditions before departure.
Documents required for a visa for Portugal:
Paraguayan travelers should present a valid passport upon arrival in Portugal. It is also advisable to have a return or onward ticket, along with proof of sufficient financial means. No visa application process is required for this exemption.
Required documents include a valid passport and possibly proof of resources or accommodation booking. No visa fees are applicable for this exemption. For detailed and current information, consult the official portal of the Portuguese embassy or consulate.



Do not confuse visa exemption with permission for extended or permanent residence. Avoid purchasing fake ‘visas’ or using unofficial sites offering such documents, as this is illegal and may lead to entry refusals or sanctions.
A tourist stay is not the only purpose. These are the other permits the destination issues and that your nationality is eligible for, each with its own fee and processing time.
