Well, have you contacted Jeronimo Finestra? He posts as Jfinestra on this forum. I don't think that any SERIOUS lawyer would just post a quote on an online forum. And he would not publicly reveal the names of all his clients, right? Check ... Read More

Medication by vlynn

Does anyone know if there would be any issue with bringing my medication for panic attacks into Paraguay? Thanks.

lacanadiense

HI VLynn, I don´t know for sure, but I assume that if it´s prescribed medicine, and in normal quantities, then it shouldn´t be a problem. I´ve never seen them searching for pills or anything like that. But it might be a good idea to find out if ... Read More
