Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the entire period you plan to stay in Peru. Immigration officers at Jorge Chávez International Airport check the expiry date against your departure date — no extra months required beyond that. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Peru | Immigration may ask for a confirmed onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Peru ready — airlines also check this before boarding in Europe. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Keep a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $1,000 USD or the equivalent in cash, cards, or bank statements. Immigration may request proof of sufficient funds for your intended stay. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Peru, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before you go.
Overstaying is costly
Overstaying even a day triggers a fine. Pay it at the immigration office in Lima or at the airport before departure. Accumulated overstays can lead to a re-entry ban.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
At Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport or any land border, join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and first night accommodation. Answer clearly — they speak basic English or use a translator.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the entry date and the number of days allowed (usually 90). Check the stamp before walking away.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. You may be asked to declare items over $500 or restricted goods.
