Travel Information for Visitors to Peru

Planning a trip to Peru is an exciting experience. To ensure a smooth arrival, travelers should verify the entry requirements applicable to their nationality before departure.

Entry regulations may vary depending on your country of citizenship and current immigration policies. We recommend consulting the nearest Peruvian Consulate or Embassy before traveling.

Passport Requirements

All foreign visitors entering Peru must carry a valid passport.

Your passport should be valid for at least six (6) months from the date of entry into Peru. Travelers who do not meet this requirement may be denied boarding or entry by immigration authorities.

Do I Need a Visa to Enter Peru?

Citizens of many countries in the Americas and Europe can enter Peru for tourism purposes without obtaining a visa in advance. However, visa requirements depend on your nationality and may change over time.

If a tourist visa is required, applications must be submitted through a Peruvian Consulate before traveling. The application process generally includes:

  • A valid passport.
  • A completed visa application form.
  • Proof of accommodation or tour reservations.
  • Round-trip or onward travel tickets.
  • Evidence of sufficient financial resources.
  • Additional documents requested by the Peruvian authorities.

Length of Stay

The period of stay granted to visitors is determined by Peruvian immigration authorities upon arrival.

Tourists may be authorized to stay in Peru for up to 183 days, depending on their immigration status and nationality. The final decision regarding the length of stay is made by immigration officers at the port of entry.

Arrival in Peru

Upon arrival at an international airport, travelers must present their passport and any supporting documentation requested by immigration officials.

Peruvian immigration authorities register visitor entries digitally through the national migration system. Visitors should verify the authorized length of stay granted upon entry.

Traveling with Minors

Families traveling with children should ensure they carry all necessary documentation.

Additional authorization may be required in certain circumstances, especially when minors travel with only one parent or legal guardian. Travelers should verify specific requirements before departure.
