I find it so fascinating that no one is stopping this, but I guess Paraguay must rely on this crossing for their economy. Still, I am surprised that Brazil does not seem to care so much either. I found the same info as you about Italians, so I'm not sure what the problem was. The computer at the immigration office indicated that he would need a visa with an Italian passport, so it must be their whole system is mistaken (or, they are trying to just get money from everyone they can).

Just found this article by chance on a ramdom search. Had fun reading it!! I'm Brazilian and had some US friends doing somewhat the same. One came into Brazil, without a visa. After a few weeks here, he exited through the same border cross, no to run into trouble here. And 2 other did just like you wrote: went into Paraguayan side w/o its visa. I was along this time... We went in for a few hours and, unlike the above, didn't even bother stoping at the Paraguay immigration booth. Did coming back into Brazil since thay were with the visas, and were leaving by plane from São Paulo. Just as curiosity (and free time) I looked into the Italian issue. I guess the Paraguayn officer was misinformed. Italian passport holders need no visa into Paraguay since the 60's!!! Checked at the Paraguay Embassy in Rome and its Foreign ministry websites. Hi.
