Everyone entering or leaving Paraguay must present at an authorised migration control post with a valid identity document or passport (with a consular visa for nationalities that need one) and other documents validating entry.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The sources do not describe any airside regime or specific border-zone conditions for local border transit.

What officially documented baggage collection, terminal, separate-ticket or self-transfer situations affect the immigration requirement?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the baggage, terminal-change and self-transfer rules.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the transitory-stay extension page (ffea83aa42ba4cf6, 21fd42ceeb731812) and Law 6984/22 for baggage collection, terminal change, separate tickets or self-transfer; nothing found.

What maximum transit period, overnight, airport-change or multiple-stop rules matter?

Under Migration Law Arts. 40 and 42, local border transit (tránsito vecinal fronterizo) is a transitory-stay subcategory; transitory-stay admissions allow a stay determined by the nature of entry, up to a maximum of 90 calendar days, extendable once at the person's request for a period no longer than that previously granted, at the DNM's discretion. The official source does not state overnight, airport-change or multiple-stop rules.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No official rule found on overnight stays, crossing frequency or multiple stops; DNM separately issues a DTVF border-transit document (5-year validity) for MERCOSUR nationals domiciled in linked Brazilian border towns, not used here.

    Artículo 42.- Plazo de permanencia transitoria. Los extranjeros admitidos en alguna de las categorías previstas en el presente Capítulo, podrán permanecer en el territorio nacional por un período determinado de acuerdo al carácter de su ingreso y por un plazo máximo de hasta 90 (noventa) días corridos, prorrogables por una sola vez a pedido del interesado, por un plazo no mayor al otorgado con anterioridad a criterio de la Dirección Nacional de Migraciones.

If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the permission required, where to obtain it and the onward-travel evidence.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: Citations prove the generic transitory-stay extension procedure, but no citation says that is the permission for local border transit; the captured DNM page lists a separate 'Documento de Transito Vecinal Fronterizo (DTVF)' procedure, so 'The permission is an extension' misidentifies the permission.)

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
