How to buy Paraguayan visa? Follow these simple steps for a successful application.

Okay, let’s talk about how I got my hands on a Paraguayan visa. It wasn’t too much of a headache, but you gotta follow the steps.

First off, I figured out what kind of visa I needed. For me, it was a tourist visa since I’m just planning to visit and see the sights. No working or living there, just a plain old tourist visit.

Then came the fun part – gathering all the documents. Passport, application forms, you name it. I made sure my passport was valid for at least six months beyond my intended stay. You don’t wanna get caught out by that one. Then I printed out the application forms from their website. I filled those out carefully, no mistakes, all in block letters like they asked. I also got passport photos taken. It’s crucial to meet their size and background requirements, otherwise they may not accept it.

• Passport – got that ready.
• Application forms – printed and filled.
• Passport photos – got them snapped.
• Proof of accommodation – printed my hotel bookings.
• Flight itinerary – got a copy of my return ticket.
• Financial proof – printed bank statements to show I could afford the trip.

Next, I compiled everything neatly. Made copies of every single thing. It’s better to have more than less, I always say. I organized it all into a folder. Felt pretty good to see it all together. This step is very important because the staff won’t sort it for you.

After that, I submitted my application. I double-checked the embassy’s working hours and went there in person. There was a bit of a queue, but it moved pretty fast. Handed over my folder to the person at the counter. They gave it a quick look, asked me a few questions about my trip, like where I’m staying and how long I’m going for, nothing too nosy.

Then, I paid the visa fee. It wasn’t too pricey, but it’s always good to check the exact amount beforehand. Paid in cash, got a receipt. After I paid it, the staff told me the estimated time to get the visa.

Waiting Game

Now, the waiting game. It took a couple of weeks, but those weeks felt long. I kept checking my email and phone, even though they said they’d contact me when it’s ready. Finally, got the email saying my visa was ready for collection. Went back to the embassy, showed my receipt, and bam, got my passport back with the shiny new visa inside.

Honestly, the whole process was smoother than I expected. Just be organized, have all your documents ready, and follow their instructions to a T. Now I’m all set for my trip to Paraguay!
