Also eager to see any responses. I don't have any experience with this yet.

UPDATE: Feb '22. Been there and took the money out. Went to the same window where I initially made the deposit and handed them the original receipt with stamps on it. The man took the document, stamp, stamp, stamp, sign, sign, sign and counted out the money. Not a single question asked. All-in-all, took about 300 EUR hit on conversions and exchange rate but going to an exchange store (i.e. Cambios Chaco) would have been more expensive actually. So, chalked that cost to 'mission accomplished'.

NOTE: It helps to look the part... Dressed well and just doing business. There were several (typical) entitled gringos in line, dressed like slobs with their shorts and flip-flops, demanding they speak to someone who speaks English, being loud and obnoxious ... They did not have such an easy time.

Great info, especially the dressing well part.聽 How easy is it for taller foreigners to get suitable attire in Paraguay or would you recommend we bring what is needed?聽 聽For those of us who want to be taken reasonably seriously but not elitist, what would you describe as the right look?

Getting "suitable attire" is not an issue. There are 2 higher-end malls a few blocks of each other. As far as "taller foreigners".. Hmm. For the most part, selection-wise, I wouldn't describe locals as "tall", so depending on how tall - tall is, maybe bring something just to be safe, if it's your first visit.

As far as being "taken seriously but not elitist"... That's exactly my recommendation! It's more about taking a little care in one's appearance. You can wear an Armani suit but if it looks like it came out of the bottom of your backpack and used as a pillow on the 14 hour layover, it matters little. It's still sloppy. Shorts scream "foreigner" and not in a good way.

My attorney, his staff and other business people I saw walking around, usually wear dress slacks and shoes with a dress button-up shirt. Sometimes a tie but mostly no tie. Pressed and tucked in, rather than expensive.

Honestly, similar rules as any other country

Thanks for taking the time for the thoughtful reply.
