Apply for a tourist visa to enter Peru

If you are a foreign national planning to visit Peru for recreational purposes or similar activities and require a visa to enter the country based on your country of origin, you must apply for a tourist visa at the Peruvian consular offices in the country where you are located. This process must be completed at least 15 calendar days before your trip.

Citizens of certain Latin American and European countries do not need this document.

Submitting the visa application and the required documentation does not guarantee the automatic approval of the visa. Each application is individually assessed by the Peruvian consul. Furthermore, additional requirements may be requested during the process.

The maximum period of stay with this visa is up to 183 calendar days, without the possibility of extension, whether in a single continuous visit or multiple consecutive visits within 12 months from the date of issuance of the document. However, it is the migration authority who determines the length of your authorized stay when stamping your passport.

You may request an extension of this period from the National Superintendence of Migration in Peru before the initial period expires.
