Omani passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or border. You must apply at a Peruvian embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Peru, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Peruvian embassy or consulate
Contact the Peruvian embassy in Riyadh or the consulate in Dubai (closest to Oman). Submit the application form, passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and any other requested documents. Pay the visa fee (around $30–$50 USD, varies by consulate). Wait 2–4 weeks for processing.
2
Receive your visa and prepare for travel
Once approved, the visa will be stamped in your passport. Double-check the validity dates and number of entries. Make copies of the visa page and keep them separate from your passport.
3
Arrive at a Peruvian airport
At immigration in Lima (Jorge Chávez International Airport) or other entry points, present your passport with the visa, return ticket, and accommodation proof. The officer may ask about your plans — answer clearly. You'll receive a stamp allowing up to 90 days (or as specified on your visa).
