To enter Peru, visitors must hold a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival.
Peru uses an electronic migration registration system based on the Andean Migration Card (Tarjeta Andina de Migración, TAM), which records visitors' entry details digitally. Travellers should ensure their passport is stamped correctly on arrival and retain any immigration documentation provided.
Passport and visa regulations are subject to change, and airlines may have different requirements. Information is correct at the time of writing; travellers should check with the relevant embassy before departure, particularly when transiting through a third country. We accept no liability for any inconvenience or loss arising from changes to these requirements.
Citizens of many countries and territories, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and all European Union member states, can enter Peru visa-free for tourism purposes. The length of stay permitted varies, but is typically up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
