| Return or onward ticket Recommended to show at immigration | Peruvian immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Without one, you risk being questioned or denied entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to show at immigration | Immigration may ask where you are staying. Have hotel bookings or a letter of invitation with your host's contact details ready. A printed copy works best if your phone has no signal. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to show at immigration | Officers may request evidence you can support yourself during your stay. Carry bank statements, a credit card, or cash (Peruvian soles or USD). No fixed amount is published, but having at least $500 USD equivalent is a safe bet. | Recommended |

Kazakh citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Peru. You must obtain a visa from a Peruvian embassy or consulate before traveling. Start the process at least 3 weeks before your trip to avoid delays.
Passport validity check
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Peru. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa. Immigration officers are strict about this.
