Lithuanian passport holders can enter Peru without a visa for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. This visa-free access applies in 2026 and covers most short-term visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid for at least the full 90 days you plan to stay in Peru. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers in Lima will verify it on arrival. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Peru | Immigration at Jorge Chávez Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Peru ready — they may also check that your onward flight is within the 90-day visa-free limit. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but if you arrive without a clear place to stay, they may pull you aside for extra questions. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Immigration can ask for proof of funds — around $1,000 USD for the trip is a safe benchmark — though they rarely do for short visits. | 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.
