Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Peru. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required by Peruvian law, but airlines may ask for at least 6 months — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Peru | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket to confirm you'll leave within the 180-day visa-free period. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight ready — they may scan the barcode at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but if they do, a printed booking confirmation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your trip. There's no fixed minimum, but having at least $500 USD or its equivalent in soles or dollars is a safe bet. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity before boarding. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you will be denied boarding — no exceptions. Renew your passport well in advance.
No visa, no fees — but have your documents ready
Entry is free and straightforward. The only thing that can trip you up is missing paperwork: a return ticket or an expired passport. Keep digital copies on your phone and a printed backup in your bag.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Print or save on your phone: passport (check validity), return/onward ticket, first night hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them in a folder or a notes app for quick access.

Arrive at immigration in Peru
At Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport (or any land border), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport and be ready to show your return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp your passport with a 180-day entry.

Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. No additional forms or fees for Ukrainian passport holders.
