Changes to immigration law and requirements in Paraguay

Hello all,

I know that we have briefly talked about this in here, but please know that the new immigration law was approved by our congress and sent to the executive branch to be published, which is still pending. Once it is published I'll analyze the law and share with you the most important aspects of it.

Also (this has nothing to do with the new law) you should know that at the moment the immigration office is requesting foreign citizens that come from countries that are not party to the Mercosur treaty, to have a tourist visa issued by a Paraguayan consulate when applying for the residence permit, even if they come from countries that usually don't require visas to enter Paraguayan territory as tourists.

Best regards,

Sally
