Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU): arrival & transit guide

What to expect landing at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Asuncion, Paraguay: the arrival flow, transit rules, and onward transport.

Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, Asuncion's gateway, is a single terminal serving both domestic and international flights. Off the aircraft, arriving passengers head to immigration, where an online pre-registration form, when available for your nationality, can be completed before landing to speed up the counter itself.

Most nationalities enter Paraguay without a visa for an ordinary tourist stay, and the immigration desk is a straightforward passport check either way, visa or none; a smaller list of nationalities does need a visa arranged before flying. After passport control, baggage claim and a customs check follow before the exit into the arrivals hall.

There is no dedicated airside transit area at Silvio Pettirossi, so a connecting international passenger clears the same immigration and customs process as anyone ending their trip in Asuncion, then checks in again for the onward flight rather than staying airside.

SIM card kiosks and currency exchange are in the arrivals hall for anyone who needs either before heading into the city; taxis and ride-hailing are both available around the clock outside arrivals for the drive into central Asuncion.
