Peruvian Tourist Visa

A Guide to Peruvian Visas

Part 1

Planning a trip to Peru is exciting, at least until visa questions start popping up. Do I need a visa? How long can I stay? What am I actually allowed to do as a tourist? Unfortunately, clear and up-to-date information isn’t always easy to find. That’s why we put together this comprehensive guide covering everything you need to know about the Peruvian tourist visa from entry requirements and length of stay to common pitfalls and practical tips.

Peruvian tourist visa in a nutshell

  • Nationals of some countries require a tourist visa and must apply for it at a Peruvian consulate before traveling to Peru. Check the PDF in the attachments at the end of this article to find out if this applies to you.
  • Nationals of other countries can enter Peru visa-free and receive a “temporary authorization to enter and stay as a tourist for a certain time” upon arrival at the airport or border. While the term sounds official, since the end of May 2023 it is essentially just an entry in the Migraciones database.
  • Most visa-exempt nationalities are allowed to stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period, with a maximum of 183 days in a 365-day period, for touristic, recreational, or health-related purposes. (See the PDF at the end of this very long article for country-specific details.)
  • Peruvian tourist visas issued at a consulate are mostly multiple entry visas.
  • The temporary authorization granted to visa-free travelers at the airport or border is single entry.
  • All visitors must hold a passport that is valid for at least six months upon arrival and has at least two blank pages in the visa section.
  • As in most countries worldwide, foreigners are not allowed to work or earn income in Peru while on a tourist visa or temporary authorization.
  • Tourists can only sign legally binding documents (such as work contracts, sworn statements, property purchases, or marriage documents) with a Permiso para firmar contratos" (Permit to sign contracts).
  • Extensions of tourist stays are no longer possible (excception: nationals of Andean Community member states). 
 

Do I need a visa to enter Peru as a tourist?

Peru is a very welcoming country and has agreements with many nations allowing their citizens to travel visa-free for tourism.

Strictly speaking, most travelers don’t actually need a tourist visa to enter Peru. Instead, they are granted permission to enter and stay as tourists upon arrival. However, the term “tourist visa” is commonly used for both visa-free entry and visas issued by a Peruvian consulate, which can be confusing.

Citizens of below-isted countries do not need to apply for a tourist visa at a Peruvian embassy or consulate before traveling. Instead, they only need a passport valid for at least six months with at least two blank visa pages. Upon arrival, they receive a temporary authorization to enter and stay as a tourist for a certain time directly at immigration control at the airport or border.

While the term sounds official, since the end of May 2023 it is essentially just a digital entry in the Migraciones system rather than a physical document or stamp in your passport.

For a detailed and country-specific overview, please refer to our PDF “Visas for Peru by country and allowed length of stay” at the end of this very long article. It is an English translation of the official document issued by the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which can be found here.

Following nationals do not need a tourist visa for Peru

  • South America: Citizens of all South American countries except Venezuela
  • Central America: Citizens of most Central American countries (exception Cuba, El Salvador, Haiti and Nicaragua)
  • North America: Citizens of the United States, Canada and Mexico
  • Europe: Citizens of all countries within the European Union and of Switzerland and the UK
  • Africa: Citizens of South Africa
  • Asia: Citizens of Brunei, Indonesia, Israel, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as well as some citizens of China and India
    • According to a Supreme Decree from September 2016, Chinese citizens, and according to a Supreme Decree from March 2017, Indian citizens, who hold a permanent residence visa or a visa with a validity of at least six months for the USA, Canada, any Schengen country, the UK, or Australia, can travel to Peru visa-free.
    • All other Chinese and Indian nationals still have to apply for a tourist visa at a Peruvian embassy or consulate.
  • Oceania: Citizens of Australia and New Zealand
 

How and where to apply for a Peruvian tourist visa

As mentioned above, citizens of some countries require a visa even for tourism or recreational travel (please refer to our PDF “Visas for Peru by country and allowed length of stay” at the end of this very long article for clarification).

Since Peru does not offer an online visa application system, applicants must apply for a tourist visa in person at a Peruvian embassy or consulate that has jurisdiction over their place of residence.

 

Requirements for the tourist visa application at a Peruvian Consulate

The required documents may vary depending on the consulate and individual case, but generally include:

  • Application form
  • Valid passport
  • Round-trip ticket
  • Hotel reservation, tourist package reservation or invitation letter
  • Proof of sufficient funds
  • Passport photos
  • Proof of legal residency in the area or country under the consulate's jurisdiction
  • Receipt of payment for paid application fee

Please note that the consulate where you apply, will usually invite you to a personal interview.

On the website of the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RREE) you find a world map showing all Peruvian consulates abroad. By clicking on a location marker, you can access the address, phone number, email, and - if available - the website of the respective consulate.

 

There is no Peruvian consulate in my country - where do I apply?

Especially in parts of Africa and Asia - where nationals of many countries are still required to apply for a tourist visa - Peruvian consulates are relatively scarce. In addition, websites are not always up to date and emails sometimes go unanswered.

As a result, finding the correct consulate, obtaining reliable information, and completing the application process can be challenging.

Unfortunately, the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not consistently publish which consulates are responsible for specific regions or countries. So, if there is no Peruvian consulate in your country of residence, your best (and often only) option is to contact the nearest Peruvian diplomatic mission - which might not be particularly close - and ask whether they are responsible for your case or can direct you to the correct office.

 

How long can I stay in Peru as a tourist?

Peru’s rules on how long tourists can stay have changed several times over the years, which has led to quite a bit of confusion.

In March 2017, a new Peruvian Foreigner Law (Decreto Legislativo 1350) came into force, allowing tourists to stay for a maximum of 183 days within a 365-day period. Shortly afterward, however, the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RREE) introduced different rules for certain nationalities, including those from Schengen countries, limiting their stay to 90 days within a 180-day period.

Then, in June 2019, the RREE publication was modified again. For most visa-exempt nationalities, the stay was effectively divided into two periods of up to 90 days within consecutive 180-day periods.

Even though the updated Foreigner Law (Decreto Legislativo 1582), published in November 2023, again confirms a maximum stay of 183 days within a 365-day period for tourists, the RREE’s earlier regulation is still applied in practice.

So what does this mean today?

Most travelers who can enter Peru visa-free are usually granted up to 90 days within a 180-day period upon entry. This 180-day period is not tied to calendar halves (January-June or July-December), but is calculated individually from your first entry into the country.

Brazilian, Chilean, and Mexican nationals, as well as Chinese and Indian passport holders who qualify for visa-free entry under the special conditions mentioned above, may still be eligible for up to 180 days. However, in practice, Peruvian immigration often grants only 90 days upon arrival.

If you applied for a tourist visa at a consulate, the number of days granted is determined by that consulate. However, even if your visa states 180 days, immigration officers at the border most probably will still limit your stay to 90 days when entering Peru. As your tourist visa issued at a Peruvian consulate is a multile entry visa, you could leave Peru for a few days and return on the same visa.

While most travelers receive the maximum number of days allowed -  if they haven’t overstayed their welcome before excessively or if they haven’t been in Peru before and now try to re-enter the country before their 180-day period is over) - it is important to understand that you are not legally entitled to a specific length of stay. As in most countries, the final decision always lies with the immigration officer, who can decide whether to grant entry at all and how many days you are permitted to stay.

For detailed, country-specific information, please refer to our PDF “Visas for Peru by country and allowed length of stay” at the end of this article. It is an English translation of the official document issued by the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which can be found here.

 

Entering Peru

With the introduction of the new Immigration Law in 2017 and ongoing digitalization entering Peru today is generally a straightforward, organized, and usually fairly quick process.

Passport requirements for entering Peru

To enter Peru as a tourist, your passport must meet certain requirements regarding validity and available pages. You will need:

  • A passport with at least two free pages in the visa section.
  • A passport that is valid for at least six months upon arrival.
  • If required, a tourist visa issued by a Peruvian consulate.

Note: 
While Peru doesn’t officially require proof of sufficient funds for visa-free tourist entry, immigration officers have the authority to ask questions about your travel plans and how you intend to support yourself during your stay. In practice, this rarely happens, but it’s always a good idea to be able to demonstrate that you can cover your expenses if asked.

 

Entry process

After leaving the plane (or crossing a land border), simply follow the signs to immigration control.

At the beginning of 2023, automated passport control machines were introduced. However, when entering Peru, these are currently reserved for Peruvian nationals and foreign residents.

At immigration, present your passport. Make sure it meets the requirements mentioned above.

Since May 2023, Peru no longer stamps passports for travelers entering on international flights and at some land borders. Instead, your entry and the number of days granted are digitally registered in the Migraciones system.

This means you won’t receive any written confirmation in your passport indicating how long you are allowed to stay.

So, to find out how many days you’ve been granted, you should:

  • Ask the immigration officer directly at the counter, or
  • Check your status online afterward

Our article “How many days did I get when entering Peru?” explains in detail how to do this and how to obtain proof of your entry if needed.

Clearing customs

Since June 2022, the traditional customs declaration form has been replaced by the app “Bienvenido al Perú”, available for iOS and Android. The app guides you through what you need to declare and what you don’t.

Peruvian customs expects travelers to be familiar with and comply with current regulations. So, it’s your responsibility to inform yourself in advance. Our article “What you can & can’t bring into Peru” is a helpful starting point.

In practice:

  • Nothing to declare: 
    Simply proceed to the exit - no form, no app.
  • Something to declare:
    Download the Bienvenido al Perú app, follow the instructions and complete the declaration within 48 hours before arrival; upon arrival proceed to a customs counter.
  • Carrying more than US$ 10,000:
    You must declare the amount using the app. So, download the Bienvenido al Perú app, follow the instructions and complete the declaration within 48 hours before arrival; upon arrival proceed to a customs counter.

Failing to declare taxable or restricted items can result in fines of up to 50% of the item’s value. Not declaring amounts exceeding US$ 10,000 can lead to a 30% penalty on the undeclared amount; amounts exceeding US$ 30,000 may be confiscated, with an additional fine applied..

Before exiting the airport, you and your luggage will pass through a scanner, and you may be selected for an additional inspection.

And that's it - you made it! Welcome to Peru!

 

How many days did I get?

After passport stamping was temporarily suspended during the pandemic and briefly reintroduced, Peru has now fully transitioned to a digital system.

Today, the only way to confirm how long you are allowed to stay as a tourist is to:

  • Ask the immigration officer upon entry, or
  • Check your status online.

Our article “How many days did I get when entering Peru?” explains the legal background and shows you step by step how to check your allowed stay.

Extension of a Peruvian tourist visa

Over the past two decades, Peru’s rules on extending tourist stays have changed repeatedly—sometimes allowing extensions, sometimes not.

Since August 2021, extensions have generally not been possible.

This strict rule was slightly relaxed in October 2023 with new Migraciones administrative regulations (TUPA), which reopened the possibility of extending a tourist stay but only for nationals of Andean Community member states, and exclusively for them.

Shortly afterward, a modification of the Foreigner Law (Decreto Legislativo 1582), published on November 14, 2023, confirmed the general legal framework. While it states that tourists can stay up to 183 days within a 365-day period, it also makes clear that, in practice, extensions remain highly restricted.

According to the law, an extension could theoretically be granted if a traveler did not receive the full 183 days upon entry. However, this is only applicable where no international agreements prohibit extensions.

In reality today:

Only citizens of Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia can currently extend their tourist stay in Peru under the existing Migraciones regulations (TUPA).

All other foreign nationals cannot extend their stay as tourists.

For more detailed background and practical guidance, please refer to our comprehensive article on tourist visa extensions in Peru.

Overstaying your tourist visa in Peru

Like in any other country, it’s strongly recommended to respect the rules and regulations in Peru, including the number of days you are allowed to stay as a tourist.

However, if you overstay your permitted stay by a few days or even weeks - at least for now - you usually don’t have to fear serious consequences. 

When leaving Peru, you simply have to pay a fine of 0.1% of a UIT per day overstayed (S/ 5.50 per day in 2026). The fine must be paid before leaving the country.

Once the fine is paid, you can normally leave Peru without further issues.

Those who have significantly overstayed (we are talking about many months or even years), however, may face additional sanctions, such as an obligatory departure (salida obligatoria) notice and a temporary re-entry ban.

That said, in recent months Migraciones has occasionally carried out street checks, particularly in Lima, Callao, Cusco, and border regions, targeting foreigners who may have overstayed or entered the country irregularly. Be aware that in some cases overstayers caught during these checks received an obligatory departure (salida obligatoria) notice and had to leave the country immediately or within a few days. 

Our article "Peruvian Overstay Fine for Tourists” explains the details, including possible consequences, affects on future entry and payment options.

Re-entering Peru as a tourist (border runs)

Between 2008 and 2017, so-called border hopping was a common and widely used way to “renew” a tourist stay in Peru.

Back then, the law allowed visitors to stay for 183 days, but it didn’t clearly define whether this period applied per year or per visit. This loophole made it possible for many foreigners to live in Peru on a tourist status: when their stay was about to expire, they simply crossed the border, stayed a few minutes, a day, or week in a neighboring country, and returned - often receiving a fresh 183 days.

For years, this worked without problems.

This changed in 2017 with the introduction of a new Immigration Law (Decreto Legislativo 1350), which closed the loophole, and a publication by the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RREE), which reduced the allowed stay for most nationalities. A couple of years later, immigration officials began applying the new rules more strictly.

Travelers attempting to re-enter after already using up their allowed time were often:

  • Given only a few additional days, or
  • Denied re-entry altogether

Then, in March 2020, Covid hit. Borders closed, and Migraciones accelerated the digitalization of immigration processes. Today, all entries and exits are stored in a central database and can be accessed at all control points.

Since August 2021, travelers report conflicting experiences when trying to re-enter Peru early after already having stayed their allowed 90 days within this 180-day period:

  • Some are only given a few days or a month if they already stayed their allowed 90 days in a 180-day period and try to re-enter before the running 180-day period is over.
  • Others still receive the full 90 days - but usually only if they haven’t already reached the 183-day annual limit.
  • And there have been rare cases where entry was denied - either when the allowed 90 days within a 180-day period was already reached and the running 180-day period wasn't over or when the maximum limit of 183 days in a 365-day period was reached. 

So, as always, it is at the discretion of the immigration officer (and his/her evaluation of your situation) how many days you are granted - or whether you are allowed to enter at all.

One way or another, the days of easy border runs seem to be over.

Foreigners planning to stay longer in Peru should consider applying for a proper visa, such as a temporary work visa, student visa, or a residence visa. Our Visa Guide explains the most common options, including legal background, requirements, preparation, and step-by-step application processes.

 

Do I need a return ticket when travelling to Peru?

Peruvian law requires foreign visitors to have proof of onward or return travel, showing that they will leave the country before their authorized stay expires. However, the law does not specify that this must be a plane ticket; it can be any proof of departure.

In practice, immigration officers in Peru rarely ask for it.

The ones who usually enforce this rule are the airlines. Since they may be responsible for flying you back if you are denied entry, many airlines require proof of onward travel before allowing you to check in and board your flight to Peru.

If you are planning to travel on a one-way ticket, check your airline’s policy carefully:

  • Some require a confirmed return or onward flight
  • Others accept a reservation
  • A few accept bus tickets
  • Some allow boarding without any proof

If your airline requests a return or onward ticket, you have a few options:

  • Make a reservation, print the confirmation, and - depending on the agency - don't pay it and let it expire or cancel it within a certain time.
  • Book a fully refundable ticket and cancel it as soon as you are in Peru.
  • Use services that allow you to temporarily “rent” a ticket.
 

Can I work in Peru when on a tourist visa?

No!

A tourist visa temporary authorization as a tourist allows entry for touristic, recreational, or health purposes only.

Even though some foreigners do work in Peru on a tourist status, the law clearly states that you are not allowed to work for a Peruvian company or receive any form of remuneration for any kind of professional activity in Peru while in the country as a tourist.

 

Can I study or do an internship in Peru as a tourist?

Generally no, but there are exceptions depending on the specific situation.

Do I need vaccinations for Peru? (Health considerations for travelers)

Peru doesn’t generally require vaccinations for tourist entry. However, depending on where you travel within the country, certain vaccinations and basic health precautions are highly recommended. It’s always a good idea to inform yourself in advance about potential health risks such as altitude sickness, tropical diseases, and food- and water-related issues.

What to do if your passport is lost or stolen in Peru

If your passport gets lost or stolen while traveling in Peru, it’s extremely helpful if you have a copy of it - either a printed version or a digital copy stored securely in the cloud that you can access anytime. The same applies to other important documents such as your driver’s licence, birth certificate, or similar.

You should immediately report the loss to the nearest tourist police or "normal" police station. You’ll receive a police report, a so-called denuncia, which is usually required for further steps.

Then contact your embassy or consulate in Peru to apply for a replacement passport or an emergency travel document. Most consulates are located in Lima, but some countries also have representation in larger cities in Peru.

Be aware that this process can take anything between a few hours to many days. If your country has no diplomatic representation in Peru you may have to get in touch with the nearest consulate in another country and hope for the best.

    Hello!

I seem to of calculated the difference of 143 days. Will I have any issue coming back into Peru? I just found this article and wasn't aware of this.

    Thanks for the help!

      @Paul Hello Paul,

      Not sure what you weren’t aware of. Anyway, US passport holder can stay in Peru as a tourist for up to 90 days in a 180-day period (so three months in half a year) and a max of 183 days in a year.

      You entered on June 23 and left on July 2; that’s only 9 days. Your 180 day-period ends on December 20, but you have up to 81 days (90-9) left that you are allowed until December 20 (not sure how you ended up with a difference of 143 days).

      So, yes, you shouldn’t have a problem returning to Peru in a couple of days, but be aware that the number of days you are given when you (re-)enter is always at the discretion of the immigration officer. He can give you any number of days he feels comfortable with, so just 30 days, for example, or the remaining 81 days or the full 90 days. You surely won’t get more than that.

      Greetings

    I had visited Peru from July 13 to September 2, so about 52 days. I was given 90 days upon entry. I want to visit again from December 10 to January 29, so another 50 days. The 180 day time period would reset January 9, but I still had 38 days on the original 90 days granted.

    Do you think this would be an issue?

      Hello Daniel,

      if you haven't stayed before your July trip as tourist in Peru, I think you shouldn't have any problems entering Peru and even getting another 90 days as you haven't used the max of 183 days in a year.

      So, no, under normal circumstances you won't have any issues. But as everywhere around the globe, it's always at the discretion of the immigration officer how many days he/she is allowing you to stay.

      Have a nice trip

      Greetings

      @Ron Vesci Hello Ron,

      As a US passport holder, you can stay in Peru up to 90 days in a 180-day period and max 183 days in a year.

      You just have been in Peru 35 days in December / January, 15 days in May and 34 days in August / September; together 84 days in over 9 months, until December, when you plan to re-enter, in over 11 months.

      So, when you return in December you shouldn’t have any problems entering and getting the full 90 days. But be aware that it’s always up to the immigration officer how many days he/she is giving you. And just in case the immigration officer questions why you entered so often, just tell him/her about your “Peruvian princess” that you are about to marry, which should end all further un-called-for questions.

      Wishing you all the best and congrats!

      Greetings

      @Sean Hello Sean,

      I don’t understand what advice you are looking for and what your plans are.

      Do you want to move to Peru now? Or when you retire in a few years?

      If you are planning to move to Peru when you retire, your best option is to apply for a rentista residente visa. You find more information about this resident visa, including requirements and how to apply in our article “Peruvian retirement visa”.

      If you want to move to Peru now, depending on your circumstances, getting a proper resident visa might be difficult. As a tourist, you can only stay in Peru up to 90 days in a 180-day period; so, max 3 months in Peru and then at least 3 months out of Peru. Not really an option for a long-term stay.

      Since March 2017, Peru offers the so-called "independent work visa" (trabajador residente independiente). This visa gives independent professionals (for example, freelancers) the right to stay long term and work legally in Peru without being employed by a Peruvian company; however, a "service contract" with a Peruvian company has to be presented. The requirements and application process are the same as the ones for a work visa; but instead of the work contract, you have to have a service contract.

      Then another option for you to get a Peruvian resident visa might be to set up a Peruvian company as a foreigner (be aware that you need a Peruvian (silent) partner who owns a small percentage), then employ yourself as the general manager, get your work contract approved by the Peruvian Ministry of Labor and then apply for a work visa. I highly recommended to discuss the details with a trusted Peruvian notary or lawyer.

      Other options include marrying a Peruvian and apply for a family visa; invest S/ 500,000 and apply for an investment visa; extend your knowledge, study at a Peruvian university and apply for a student visa.

      @williams Hello William,

      In our above Tourist Visa article, you find a short explanations about having to pay a fine for overstaying in Peru under chapter “Expired tourist visa”.

      Additionally, our article “Peruvian Overstay Fine for tourists” is dedicated entirely to the overstaying topic including the legal backgrounds, implications and how and where to pay the fine.

      Greetings

    Hello!

    I entered Peru on May 14, 2022 and because I counted the days wrong I stayed until August 19, 2022 (one week past the 90 days). I’m just curious what day I can re-enter Peru and get another tourist visa. I believe it’s 180 days after May 14,2022 but not sure. Let me know when you get the chance, thank you!

      @Calvin Hello Calvin.

      Most nationalities are allowed to stay in Peru as a tourist up to 90 days in a 180-day period; so, at most three months in Peru and at least three months out of Peru. Additionally, tourists can only be in Peru for a max of 183 days in a 365-day period; so, more or less two times 90 days in two consecutive 180-day periods.

      If you entered Peru on May 14, 2022, your 180-day period ends on November 10, 2022. So, the earliest you should return to Peru is November 11, 2022. But as you overstayed and there are no regulations published how this affects the 180-day period, I can’t base my answer on the Peruvian law. Additionally, you have no right to get the full 90 days when you enter Peru. It’s always at the discretion of the immigration officer if he/she lets you enter at all (never heard of anyone ever being denied entry in cases like yours) and how many days he/she is willing to give you.

      With this being said, I think you shouldn’t have a problem returning to Peru mid-November or so and getting another 90 days.

    Hi Eva 

    I just left Peru and thought I would give my experience. 

    I don’t know if immigration officials don’t know the rules or are being more strict but I have had problems both leaving and entering Peru this year as a U.K. citizen. I entered Peru on 28th October 2021 and although I was asked how long I was staying, and replied 88 days, I was only given 30. I left Peru on 17th February 2022 without problems after paying the fine. 

    I returned to Peru on 8th June 2022 and was told by the immigration official that I had used all my days and was then asked lots of questions and asked to show my return ticket. They did give me 90 days after this.

     I left Peru on 3rd September 2022 so 88 days, but after being subjected to many questions by immigration. He actually asked me to come round his desk and look at the computer screen showing my entries, which are just the above plus 2, one week long entries in 2019. I was told by this immigration official that I could not re-enter Peru this year. Though when I insisted  I’d like to return on 20 December he replied “podría ser”. 

    I’m hoping to get a work visa via the creating a company method with the help of a lawyer and gaining residency in Peru. I will try and re-enter Peru on 20 December and see how it goes, but I’m now dreading all of the questions. 

    Btw, immigration does now stamp passports, I received both entry and exit stamps on this trip.

      @CH Hello CH,

      Thank you so much for taking the time to write to LimaEasy and share your experience in such detail with us.

      Exactly feedbacks like yours are so valuable not only to keep LimaEasy as up to date as possible but also to help other travelers visiting Peru on a regular basis and make them aware of the one or other strange situation they might encounter.

      You are actually not the first one who only got 30 days without reason and who describes being told by immigration officials that he already used all of the days even though after checking the dates everything seems to be within the allowed time frame and sometimes within the tolerance range. So, I’m not sure what is going on, either the one or other official can’t count, or doesn’t know the regulations, or likes to play power games (it’s always at the discretion of the immigration official how many days you get), or something is afoot.

      Anyway, I just checked your dates. The 2019 dates shouldn’t count anymore. So, you entered the first time on October 28, 2021, adding 90 days which you can stay we are at January 26, 2022; even though you overstayed longer as you just got 30 days, you were in Peru 22 days longer than the max allowed time, usually not a big deal. Your first 180-day period ended on April 26, 2022.

      As Migraciones announced that they count the 180-day periods from the first entry of a visitor, your second 180-day period should have started on April 27, 2022. When you entered on June 6, 2022, you were well in your second 180-day period, got 90 days, stayed less and the second 180-day period should end on October 24, 2022. Then a new 180-period should start, and you are allowed another up to 90 days.

      But it might be as well possible that your second 180-day period only started with the date of your second entry on June 6, 2022. But even then, you stayed less than the 90 days you got when you left on September 3, 2022. The 180-day period ends on December 5, 2022. So, after that you should be fine to re-enter Peru and get another up to 90 days in a new 180-day period.

      So, I really don’t understand the statement of the immigration official.

      And yes, as mentioned above, since May 2022 passports are stamped again.

      I wish you all the best and hope you manage to set up your company and get a work visa to avoid these unpleasant situations.

      Greetings

      @Sunflower Your website is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in travelling to Peru, so it's nice to be able to contribute in some small way. 
      You're right that I was only 22 days over the 90, but I guess that because I technically overstayed 82 days according to the form I was given when I left, this is what has caused me problems.

      @Sunflower Hi Eva,

      First of all - wow. thanks for compiling all of this information. Considering what migraciones etc share, and how each agent has a different answer, we'd really be in the dark without your excellent work.


      24 April 2019: First entry into Peru 
      30 Jan 2020: left Peru

      29 Nov 2020: entered Peru
      23 Jan 2022: left Peru

      05 April 2022: entered Peru
      91 days
      05 July 2022- left peru

      25 September 2022: entered Peru
      154 days
      24 Feb 2023: Left Peru

      28th July 2023: Left Peru

      23rd October 2023: Flagged as having spent too much time in this 180 or 365-day period.

      Previously i was advised and under the impression that 183 days were allowed per year, with first entry used as the start date.

      Using the extensive information on this website (thanks SO MUCH!) and after reading through all the comments, what I understand is that my 365-day period renewed 24 April 2023 (since then I've been in the country 87 days) - as per my first entry into the country, and that my 180-day period renews on 21 October (again, as per my 1st entry).

      This would mean I've not overstayed my 183 days, and that i have a fresh 90 days, if i'm understanding everything correctly.

      I've been extremely confused about how they calculate my days, considering I'm showing up as having overstayed in this current period.

      Then I saw this comment and realised i might be missing something.

      What did you mean by '2019 dates shouldn't count anymore'?

      I'd love to work out when I can come back without the risk of being turned away.

      Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

      Btw, I'm from the UK. And on the Visa list instead of saying 90/180, or 90, or 183 - it says nothing!

      @LR Hello LR,

      Wow, let me try to get through this.

      First of all, thank you so much for your nice words.

      And yes, since the UK left the European Union, the publication of the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn’t state anymore how long Brits can stay in Peru as a tourist. The space is blank and wasn’t filled in the past three years, which make it impossible for UK nationals to know how long they can stay and gives Peruvian immigration officers lots of room for interpretation. However, when I remember correctly, around 2021 or so the UK and Peru signed an agreement allowing Peruvians to stay in the UK for 180 days per year and UK passport holders 180 days in Peru, which are divided into 2 times 90 days in two 180-day periods.

      Nevertheless, foreigners don’t have the right to get the full 90 days in half a year or stay the full 180 days per year. It’s always up to the immigration officer you have to face if you are allowed to enter and how many days you get. You are completely at his/her mercy. And, while many are quite relaxed, over the last year or so immigrations got stricter, especially with foreigners who regularly visit Peru as a tourist and who overstayed, especially for long periods of time, which you did.

      Unfortunately, there isn’t a clear answer on when you can come back to Peru. Migraciones hasn’t published any information about how exactly the 180-day periods and 365-day periods are calculated, especially if there are overlaps / foreigners entering before their 180/365-day period is over and how overstaying effects the calculation. And as stated many times before, it’s always at the discretion of the immigration officer, so no-one can tell you at what date you can re-enter without having any problems or how many days you will get.

      So, below my view on things that might help you get another perspective and might give you some arguments when you try to re-enter.

      In my opinion the “2019 dates” as mentioned in an answer above and your 24 April 2019 to 30 Jan 2020 stay shouldn’t count anymore as back then the rules were different. Nevertheless, already back then you stayed over 280 days as a tourist in Peru when only 183 days were allowed.

      Then you stayed again in Peru from 29 Nov 2020 until 23 Jan 2022. That’s a staggering 420 days. Yes, I know it was during Covid and an amnesty was in place, so you didn’t have to pay the overstay fine and your excessive overstay should have been waved.

      Personally, now we are getting to the dates that still count:

      You entered again on 05 April 2022, left 05 July 2022; if you got 90 days when you entered you just overstayed a day, which shouldn’t cause any problem. I assume Migraciones started fresh from 05 April, meaning that the 180-day period ends on 02 October and the 365-day period on 05 April 2023.

      So, when you re-entered on 25 September 2022, your 180-day period wasn’t over. You then stayed over 150 days, so, assuming you got 90 days, you overstayed your welcome again by 2 months when you left on 24 Feb 2023.

      Then you only wrote “28th July 2023: Left Peru”. When did you enter? Or did you enter on 27 Jul and left 23 Oct and they flagged you? Or did you come back to Peru on 23 Oct and they wouldn’t let you enter or only gave you a few days?

      So, taking all your visits to Peru into account, unfortunately, you have a history of overstaying. Not good and a red flag for every immigration officer. And as said before, Migraciones hasn’t published how they take the overstaying into account and if and how due to the overstaying the 180-day and 365-day periods might shift. So, your new 180/365 day period isn’t just “renewed”. But if you entered somewhere in 2023 again and stayed already 87 days, it’s now a complete mess to sort out and impossible to guess how the immigration officer evaluates your case.

      So, I’m really sorry, that I can’t give you the clear answer you were looking for and, especially as I’m not sure from when to when you stayed in Peru in 2023, can’t recommend how to proceed and when it could be safe to return.

      All the best.

      @Anastasiia Hello Anastasia,

      Even though not specifically mentioned you have up to 90 days in a 180-day period.

      If you left Peru on July 2, overstayed one day and assuming you got 90 days when you entered, you came to Peru on April 2. So, your 180-day period ends on September 29, 2022.

      The earliest you can enter Peru again is on September 30. And then you shouldn’t have a problem getting another 90 days.

      @Farshad Hello Farshad,

      Peruvian consulates issue both, single-entry (entrada simple) and multiple-entry (entrada multiple) tourist visas.

      Which one you have, I don’t know. Probably check the visa in your passport and see if you somewhere find "entrada simple" or "entrada multiple" on it.

      If you have a single-entry tourist visa, you are allowed to enter Peru only one time during its validity, which you have already done. If you want to enter a second time, you have to apply for a new tourist visa.

      If you have a multiple-entry visa, you are allowed to enter and leave Peru multiple times during its validity without having to apply for a new tourist visa each time.

      @Tunde Hello Tunde,

      Did I understand correctly that you are in Peru at the moment on a tourist visa and applied for residency already, but want to travel and your application is still in process?

      If so, you can only leave the country during the processing time of your resident visa application with a special travel permit (Permiso especial de viaje, officially as well called Autorización de estadía fuera del país); if you don't apply for this travel permit before leaving Peru, your resident visa application is null and void.

      You find more information about applying for this special travel permit in our article Travel Permit (Permiso Especial de Viaje / Autorización de Estadía fuera del País - AEP).

      As soon as you have the travel permit, which is only valid for up to 30 days, you can leave Peru without worries and will be allowed to reenter the country with no problems.

      Greetings
      Eva

      @Jamie Hello Jamie,

      Not sure what you are trying to do, but on the official Migraciones website, all tramites you can apply for with the form F-007 can't be submitted there anymore. You need to apply through the Agencia Digital.

      If you are actually there and can't fill in certain fields, make sure you have filled out previous fields correctly, checked the terms & conditions, etc. Another option why the fields are blocked out is that according to your immigration status you cannot apply for what you are trying to apply.

    Hey everyone,

    I am from the U.S., currently in Peru. I will have a meeting with the migration office in a couple weeks and will try to find some answers here. I have a question for all of you though, where are you reading anything that says US citizens (as an example, but works for all countries listed with a single number under segment "hasta") can only stay 90 days in 180 days?

    If you look at the PDF, it says US nationals have a 90-day length of time to stay on a tourist visa (no actual visa required). Other countries have a "90/180" length under "hasta", like Austria, while Chile has "180/365". 

    Here is what is written at the top of page 2:
    (90/180)El plazo máximo de estadía será de 90 días calendarios en un periodo de 180 días
    (180/365)El plazo máximo de estadía será de 180 días calendarios en un periodo de un año. (90/365)El plazo máximo de estadía será de 90 días calendarios en un periodo de un año.

    This says that wherever it has a "/" mark in-between the two number, people of that nationality can only stay a total cumulative number of days (the first number) in a period of days (the second number), (e.g., a tourist from Austria can travel to Peru visa-free for a period of 90 days in a 180 day period. Said traveler could be in Peru 90 consecutive days and not return for another 90 days, at which point their schedule would re-start, or they could go to Peru for 30-days, leave for 30-days, come back for 30-days, etc. indefinitely). 

    The description of (# of days you can stay / # of days in a period of time) signifies that SOME countries are restricted to only a certain number of days, and are not allow to re-enter the country immediately after (like border hopping). 

    The converse of this implies that any country where the number of days you can stay in Peru as a tourist is listed as a single number, like 90, or 183; border hopping is back in style. Of course it is always at the discretion of the immigration officer to allow you to enter into a country, but a 90-day term implies you can stay up to 90 days without paying a fee (like Daniel D). If you were to leave on day 89, and return the following day, assuming the immigration officer permits you entry, you are starting a new 90 day period. Continue this procedure every 90 days and you could stay forever... unless the immigration officer says "No puedes entrar"....

    Presuming that Peru has starting switching to a [functional] digital record for entry, it's reasonable to guess that if you were to border hop indefinitely, your name could be red-flagged at some point. Immigration officers may be instructed to deny entry to perpetual border-hoppers, or maybe they won't.

    I plan to ask the immigration office:
    1). Can my 90-day entry permission can be extended officially?
    2). What happens if I leave to...say... Bolivia for a weekend before the end of my 90-days, and want to return to Peru? Do I start a new 90-days? Can I do that in another 90-days? (i.e., can I border hop?)

      @Michael Hello Michael,

      Interesting argumentation, but I think you are approaching the whole thing from an US American or “western” perspective.

      You are absolutely right. According to the document from the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some nationals can stay up to 90 days, others up to 90 days in a 180-day period. So, you conclude that those nationals which are allowed up to 90 days can just leave after they stayed three months and immediately return and continue to do so for a more or less indefinite time.

      First, the reality on the ground, so either at the land borders or at the airport, at least in Lima, looks different. Those having already spent their 90 days in Peru and trying to return before their 180-day period is over, are usually badly scolded and only given anything between 3 and 30 days. So, the good-old border hopping times - at least for now - aren’t back; quite the contrary; Peru is trying for over 15 years to contain border hopping. You might want to have a look at the section in the article above about border hopping.

      Additionally, you should check out the Peruvian foreigner law, Decreto Legislativo 1350 article 29h. There you find that tourists can stay in Peru for a maximum of 183 days in a 365-day period. So, even if your argumentation were correct, you could only border hop one time and then have to stay outside Peru for at least 6 months. This might be connected among other things to the Peruvian tax laws. If you are longer than half a year in Peru you aren't considered a tourist anymore and, even though not enforced, are liable for taxation on your worldwide income.

      Regarding your Migraciones questions:

      Tourist visa extensions were only possible from May 15, 2018 until March 2020, when the country went into a shutdown due to Covid, and that most probably by accident or technical fault. Before May 2018 and since August 2021, no extensions. I wrote a quite detailed article about the whole situation, so have a look at Tourist Visa extension in Peru.

      Your second question in my opinion cannot be clearly answered. No-one can guarantee you that after staying 90 days in Peru, leaving and trying to return, you get another 90 days. As mentioned above, at least at the Lima airport immigration officers usually only give a few days up to a month so people can get their stuff in order.

      You should be aware that you do not have a right to the full 90 days, not the first time you enter and surely not after you already stayed three months. And as it's always at the discretion of the immigration officer you have to face, even Migraciones can’t give you a 100% answer.

      If you are lucky, no one bothers that you already stayed in Peru before, and you get another 90 days or the immigration officer is doing his/her job by the book, scolds you and only gives you a few days.

      So, I wish you all the best and good luck with Migraciones. Please share the answers you get with us. And when you are already there, really interesting would be to know how they explain the difference between the 90 days and the 90 days in a 180-day period.

    Good afternoon,

    I had a quick question if you don't mind. I am an American citizen who went to Peru from December 11-22, 2021 and then I went back again from December 30-March 2. I planned another two-month trip to Peru a while ago to see my girlfriend from April 29- to June 28. Do you think I will be denied entry for already staying a little over 75 days already? Thank you

      @Jake Hello Jake,

      no, I don't think that you are denied entry. Personally I know of only 2 cases in over 10 years that weren't allowed to re-enter Peru, and both were overstaying excessively before trying to come back to Peru.

      According to the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs you can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period, so as up to now you only stayed 75 days, in my opinion you should get at least the remaining 15 days when entering the country again.

      However, how many days you get always is at the discretion of the immigration officer you have to face. If you are lucky, he or she will give you another 90 days; if there is someone doing his job by the book, you might only get 15 or 30 days. Nobody can guarantee you have many days you will end up with.

      Thai citizens do not have to apply for a tourist visa at a Peruvian consulate before coming to Peru. They can travel visa-free to Peru and get a so-called temporary authorization to enter as a tourist upon entry (today this is nothing more than an entry in the immigration database).

      As everyone wishing to enter as a tourist, they need a passport with at least 2 free pages in the visa section that is valid for at least another 6 months upon arrival, a return or onward ticket, the health declaration, either their Covid vaccination certificate or a negative PCR test, and, if it works, the pre-registration. In case the immigration officer asks questions, which can happen to every foreign national, it might be wise to know the travel plans or have a travel itinerary and have some funds to finance the visit.

      And yes, as most other nationals as well, they can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period, so 3 months in half a year. Be aware that it's always at the discretion of the immigration officer how many days are given.

      Greetings
      Eva

      @daniel d. Hello Daniel,

      no, this doesn't sound valid, but we are in Peru ....

      The law clearly states that most nationalities, including US passport holders, can stay in Peru as tourists 90 days in a 180-day period; so, 3 months in Peru, 3 months out of Peru.

      When you entered in July Peru still had an exceptional regulation in place intended for tourists who were stuck in Peru during the lockdown and in times when there were no or only limited flights. This was lifted on August, 20. So your 90 days started in August and you should have left by November 18. You however overstayed and paid the fee for staying 43 days longer than allowed. Your 180-day period, calculated from August 20 only ends on February 16; so by law that's the earliest you can re-enter Peru.

      However, if you return earlier, there are two options: the immigration officer you have to face doesn't bother and just gives you another 90 days; or he/she does his/her job by the book and either denies you to enter Peru (never heard of this happening) or only gives you a few days. From people getting in contact with me here and who are in the same situation as you, I heard that they were given between 7 and 30 days when re-entering Peru before their 180-days period was over.

      So, its a bit of a gamble.

      Greetings
