Japan Waives Visa Requirements for Certain Paraguayan Nationals

From June 1, 2025, the Government of Japan will introduce visa waiver measure for nationals of the Republic of Paraguay in possession of ordinary IC passport who wish to enter Japan for a period not exceeding consecutive 90 days for short-term stay. This measure is based on the announcement at a summit meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister and the President of the Republic of Paraguay held May 21, 2025.

  • The Government of the Republic of Paraguay has already introduced visa waiver measure for Japanese nationals, and as of June 1, Japanese and Paraguayan nationals will be able to visit mutually without obtaining a visa.
  • The visa waiver measure will contribute to further development of cultural, business, and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
