Ukraine Entry Guide for Paraguay Citizens 2026

Entry Rules for Paraguay Citizens (2026)

Paraguay citizens can enter Ukraine visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, private visits, or business meetings (no paid work). Entry is allowed only with a valid Paraguayan international passport; national ID cards are not accepted for border crossing.

Border officers may ask standard questions and request supporting documents. If you cannot confirm the purpose of travel, accommodation, insurance, or funds, entry may be refused.

Required Documents

Prepare these documents in advance (paper copies and digital backups):

• Passport (recommended: valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure).
• Travel medical insurance valid in Ukraine for the whole stay.
• Proof of purpose of travel: hotel booking, rental agreement, invitation letter (private or business), tour voucher, medical appointment documents, or onward tickets for transit.
• Proof of sufficient funds for the trip (see the calculation below).
• No active entry ban (checked by the State Border Guard Service during control).

Minimum funds formula used at the border (2026): FO = ((20 × Pm) ÷ 30) × (Kd + 5), where Pm is the subsistence minimum (3,209 UAH in 2026) and Kd is the number of days in Ukraine. Example: for 30 days, the minimum is about 24,344 UAH.

How to prove funds: cash (UAH/EUR/USD), bank statement, bank card with sufficient balance, prepaid accommodation, or a host’s guarantee letter.

Travel Insurance

Medical insurance is mandatory for foreigners entering Ukraine in 2026, including Paraguay citizens. Choose a policy that clearly states coverage in Ukraine and includes:

• Outpatient and inpatient treatment
• Emergency care and hospitalization
• Medical evacuation and repatriation
• Coverage for risks linked to the security situation (where available in policy terms)

Buy insurance before departure and keep the policy number and insurer contacts accessible. Many travelers arrange coverage online via insurance-ukraine.com.

Safety

Ukraine remains under martial law in 2026, and safety conditions vary by region. Practical steps for visitors:

• Check the curfew rules for your destination and plan evening travel accordingly.
• Install the Air Alarm app for real-time air-raid alerts and follow local instructions.
• Carry your passport (or a copy) and be ready for document checks at checkpoints.
• Do not photograph or film military personnel, checkpoints, air-defense positions, or the consequences of strikes.
• Use official guidance from local authorities and your embassy/consulate for route planning.

Emergency number: dial 112 (single number for emergency services in Ukraine).

Customs (What You Can Bring In/Out)

Green corridor (no written declaration) is generally for personal items and goods within allowances. Typical allowances when arriving by land include:

• Personal belongings for personal use
• Goods up to EUR 500 total value and up to 50 kg
• Food for personal consumption (not for sale) up to EUR 200
• Cash up to EUR 10,000 (or equivalent) without declaration
• Medicines (non-narcotic/non-psychotropic): generally up to 5 packages per medicine per person

Red corridor is required for items that must be declared: goods above limits, restricted items requiring permits, large amounts of currency, cultural valuables, and medicines containing narcotic/psychotropic substances or precursors.

Prohibited imports include narcotics/psychotropics, explosives/poisons, certain foods without required certification, materials promoting violence/racism/war or pornography, unidentified animals, wanted cultural property, and weapons (including gas/spray weapons) without the required permits.

Export rules: goods under EUR 10,000 may be exported without written declaration in many cases. Items restricted by Ukrainian law (including cultural valuables and certain controlled goods) require declaration and/or permits. Some foods and medicines have strict limits; if you plan to travel onward through EU borders, check the destination country’s food import rules as they can be stricter than Ukraine’s.

Driving in Ukraine (2026)

Ukraine has right-hand traffic. If you drive, carry your driver’s license, passport, vehicle registration, and insurance documents.

Mandatory insurance: civil liability (third-party) insurance is required for all vehicles. If you enter with your own car, arrange valid coverage before driving; travelers often compare options via insurance-ukraine.com.

Foreign-plate vehicles: foreign citizens may generally use a foreign-registered car in Ukraine for up to 1 year for personal use. If you stay longer than 2 months, you must contact an MIA service center for temporary vehicle registration requirements. After 1 year, the vehicle must leave Ukraine.

Speed limits:

• Residential/pedestrian zones: 20 km/h
• In settlements (cities): 50 km/h
• Outside settlements: 90 km/h
• Roads with a dividing strip: 110 km/h
• Motorways: 130 km/h

Seat belts are required for the driver and front passenger. Children under 12 must use appropriate child restraints; children cannot ride in the front seat without a child seat.

Checkpoints: slow down, prepare documents, follow instructions, and avoid recording. Turn off and remove dashcams/phones from visible use when requested. Expect possible vehicle and luggage inspection.
