Head of mission: Mr. Horacio Cartes, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Cyprus, 29 Nov 2024)
Cyprus offers a unique blend of cultural heritage and strategic location in the Mediterranean, making it an appealing destination for some Paraguayan travelers. With around 200,000 Paraguayans traveling internationally each year, a portion may find Cyprus an attractive option for their travels.
Cyprus is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Paraguay. It ranks 11th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. However, the Global Peace Index places Cyprus at 86th out of 160 countries, which is lower than Paraguay's ranking of 71st. In terms of crime rates, Cyprus has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.3 per 100,000 people compared to Paraguay's 7.8. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Cyprus at 1.1 and Paraguay at 1.9. When examining organized crime, Cyprus scores better in several categories. For instance, its mafia group index is 3.5 compared to Paraguay's 6.0, and it has lower scores for crime networks, state crime, and human trafficking. Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Cyprus is relatively safe for tourists, including those from Paraguay.
