DTVF costs 74,929 guaraníes for residents of Foz do Iguaçu

The DTVF was created by the Agreement on Linked Border Localities, approved in Paraguay by Law 7.261/2024. It is voluntary and does not replace a passport or other identity document, but it allows holders to work, attend public schools, access subsistence goods, and drive a private vehicle within the border locality.

The price, according to the National Migration Directorate (DNM) table effective from July 1, 2026, is 74,929 guaraníes in cash. Payment options include debit card (76,577 guaraníes), domestic credit (76,990 guaraníes) and international credit (77,402 guaraníes).

The DTVF can be applied for by nationals of the Party States residing in the linked border localities, who must present a passport or valid identity document, proof of residence and a declaration of no criminal record. Applicants with sentences longer than two years or with criminal records in the past five years are ineligible.

The document is valid for five years, with the possibility of extension, and renewal requires repeating all the requirements. The Migration Directorate may cancel the DTVF if the holder loses border residence, receives a criminal conviction, uses a forged document, or violates customs rules.

For Brazilians living in Foz do Iguaçu, the application can be made at the Migration Directorate Admission Office in the Ciudad del Este area, presenting a completed form, the original travel document, an authenticated copy, a basic utility bill, a criminal-record certificate and a photo taken on site. The reported processing time is 72 business hours.

According to Paraguayan press reports, the DTVF is required to cross the Integration Bridge by car; there is no official regulation that mandates the document on the Friendship Bridge.
