Frequently asked questions
No. Peru does not offer visa on arrival for Jordanian citizens. You must obtain a visa from a Peruvian embassy or consulate before traveling.
Processing time is typically 5–10 business days after you submit your application. Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.
The visa fee is usually around $30–$50 USD, but it varies by embassy. Contact the specific embassy or consulate for the exact amount and accepted payment methods.
Extensions are not available for this visa type. You must leave Peru before your visa expires. If you need a longer stay, you'd have to apply for a different visa category from outside Peru.
If you stay airside (transit area) and don't pass immigration, you generally don't need a visa. But confirm with your airline — some require a visa even for transit if you change terminals.
Peru requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Jordan is not a risk country, so it's not required for direct travel. However, if you plan to visit the Amazon region in Peru, the vaccine is recommended.
No. There is no e-visa system for Jordanian passport holders. You must apply in person or by mail at a Peruvian embassy or consulate.
