Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Passport validity
Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in Peru. Airlines at check-in may enforce a 6-month validity rule, so carry a passport with at least 6 months remaining to avoid boarding issues.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of onward travel
Immigration officers at Lima Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket out of Peru within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready — airlines also check this before boarding.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host letter
Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or an invitation letter from your host in Peru. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays if questioned.Recommended
Proof of funds
Financial means
Have access to at least $500 USD or equivalent in cash, cards, or bank statements. Immigration may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay.Recommended
Overstay penalties
Overstaying even one day can result in a fine of about $1 per day, plus a potential ban from re-entering Peru for up to 3 years. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
Entry at land borders
If entering Peru by land (e.g., from Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, or Chile), the same visa-free rules apply. Have your passport stamped at the border post. Keep the entry slip they give you — you'll need it to exit.
