"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."

An onward ticket for Paraguay is the document airlines and immigration officers want to see at the boarding gate or border control, not the embassy. It demonstrates you have a confirmed plan to leave Paraguay before your authorised stay expires. This page focuses on what to show at check-in, what immigration officers verify, and what backup options you have if asked questions at the border.
What Paraguay Immigration Officers Actually Check
Immigration officers in Paraguay verify three things: (1) the booking shows a real flight number and route leaving Paraguay, (2) the date is within your visa-stay window, and (3) the passenger name matches your passport. They do NOT verify payment status — a held GDS reservation is the standard. MyJet24 generates the format airline check-in agents and immigration counters expect to see.
Real Border Stories — Onward Tickets That Worked at Paraguay Entry
In our anonymised feedback database from 200,000+ travellers, fewer than 1 % were rejected at Paraguay immigration when presenting a MyJet24 onward ticket. Common officer questions cluster around three areas: stay duration ("how long are you here?"), funds proof, and onward route. The PDF answers question 3 directly; questions 1 and 2 require the traveller to speak confidently.

Paraguay Carrier Liability: Ley de Aeronáutica Civil + DINAC Enforcement
Paraguay's aviation is governed by the Ley de Aeronáutica Civil (Ley No. 1860/2002), administered by the Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (DINAC). Immigration at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU, Asunción) and Guaraní International Airport (AGT, Ciudad del Este) is handled by the Dirección General de Migraciones (DGM). Paraguay is a landlocked country between Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia — its geography makes it one of South America's lesser-visited nations but a significant overland transit point. Paraguay is a Mercosur full member — Argentine, Brazilian, Uruguayan, and Bolivian nationals enter with ID card only, no passport required, unlimited stay. LATAM Paraguay (operating as LA) and Copa Airlines are the primary international carriers. TAM Mercosur (now merged into LATAM) historically dominated.
Paraguay unique context — Itaipú + tri-border area: Paraguay hosts the world's largest operational hydroelectric dam (Itaipú, Paraguay-Brazil) and the famous tri-border area (Ciudad del Este-Foz do Iguaçu-Puerto Iguazú) — a high-volume commercial and transit zone. The Ley de Migración No. 6984 (2022) modernised Paraguay's immigration framework. DGM under the new law has expanded enforcement capacity at ASU and AGT. The low-tax, business-friendly environment and growing expatriate community (European, Lebanese, Japanese, Brazilian Braziguayos) make Paraguay an increasingly visited destination for business and residency purposes.
Airline SOPs: Onward Ticket Enforcement at ASU + AGT
| Carrier | Code | GDS | Routes + Verification | Enforcement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LATAM Paraguay | LA | Amadeus Altéa | ASU-SCL/GRU/LIM/BOG + domestic; TIMATIC at SCL/GRU origin; primary international carrier | High |
| Copa Airlines | CM | Amadeus Altéa | PTY-ASU; Star Alliance; primary North America/Caribbean-Paraguay connector via Panama | High |
| Aerolíneas Argentinas | AR | Amadeus Altéa | EZE-ASU; SkyTeam; Mercosur corridor; relaxed for AR/BR/UY nationals; strict for others | Medium |
| Gol Linhas Aéreas | G3 | Sabre | GRU/CGH-ASU; SkyTeam; high Brazilian commercial traffic; TIMATIC at GRU | Medium |
ASU (Silvio Pettirossi) handles approximately 2 million passengers annually. AGT (Guaraní, Ciudad del Este) handles significant cross-border commercial traffic. Paraguay has no domestic airline of significant scale post-Arpa and LAP liquidations — LATAM and Copa dominate international connectivity.
