Do I need a visa to travel to Peru?

If you're not eligible for a visitor permit on arrival, you'll need to apply for a tourist visa prior to departure at your local Peruvian consulate or embassy. This includes passport holders from Venezuela, Kenya, Nicaragua and Cuba.

Check which nationals are eligible for a visa-free entry permit on the Peru Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

All travellers entering Peru must meet certain entry requirements, including:

• A passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry (nationals of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Chile can enter Peru with a national identity document)

• At least two blank pages in your passport

• Proof of onward travel, e.g. a return flight or bus ticket

• Proof of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay.

It is your responsibility to obtain relevant visa and travel information required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region you visit on your trip. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates.
