What happens at the border
1
Contact the Peruvian embassy or consulate
Find the Peruvian embassy or consulate in your country (usually in the capital or a major city). Call or email to confirm the exact visa requirements and application form — they can vary slightly by location.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), completed application form, passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, bank statements, and any other documents the consulate requests. Make photocopies of everything.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Most consulates require you to submit the application in person. Some accept courier submissions. Pay the visa fee (check current amount — typically around $30–$50 USD). Processing takes 1–4 weeks.
4
Wait for approval and collect your visa
Once approved, you'll receive a visa sticker in your passport. Collect it in person or have it mailed back. Double-check the validity dates and number of entries.
5
Arrive in Peru and go through immigration
At Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport (or any land border), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Present your passport with the visa sticker, return ticket, and hotel confirmation. The officer will stamp you in — usually for up to 90 days.
