No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
Peruvians get 30 days visa-free, but you still need a passport valid 6+ months and a return ticket. Missing either means denied boarding or entry.
Overstaying is costly
There is no extension option. If you overstay even by a day, you risk a fine (around $50–$100) and potential entry bans. Leave on time.
What happens at the border
