No visa on arrival — plan ahead
Peruvian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Kosovo. You must secure a visa from a Kosovo embassy or consulate before you fly. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back.
Embassy may be far from you
Kosovo has limited diplomatic missions. You may need to travel to another country to submit your application in person. Factor in travel time and costs when planning.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Kosovo embassy or consulate
Find the Kosovo embassy or consulate that handles visa applications for residents of Peru. In many cases, this may be in a neighboring country or a country with a Kosovo diplomatic mission. Call or email to confirm their jurisdiction and appointment process.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, flight and hotel reservations, bank statements, insurance, and fee payment. Make copies of everything.
3
Submit your application in person
Attend your appointment at the embassy or consulate. Bring all original documents plus copies. You may be asked questions about your trip. Submit your biometrics (fingerprints) if required.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take up to 15 working days, sometimes longer. Track your application status if the consulate offers that. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Check that all details (name, dates, validity) are correct before leaving the consulate.
