Visas
Citizens of most countries of Western Europe,
Asia, North or South America, and Australia, New Zealand or South Africa do not
need to have a visa to enter Peru,
only a valid passport. A visa is required for visitors
from India and Fiji. To obtain a tourist visa, you
must present a valid passport, two color photos, an application
form, a ticket for the return flight from Peru, a proof
of economic solvency, and the required fee.
In order to enter the
country, you must have a passport with a remaining validity
of at least 6 months. If your passport expires while you
are in the country you can renew it, free of charge, in
your country's embassy in Peru. If your passport is filled
with travel stamps but is still valid, you may request
more pages added to your passport in your country's embassy.
All tourists that visit
Peru are given a tourist card that you must fill in with
your information. Each card has a duplicate and Immigration
keeps a copy of it in their office.
The
requirements for acquiring a Peruvian visa, for tourism
or business, are the following:
-
F-07 Form (free).
- Receipt
of payment for processing fee. S/. 24.00. (soles)

In
the event that there are bilateral or multilateral agreements
written by Peru with other States or international entities,
payment of fees, processing, or other facilities can be
subject to change or modification.
For other countries, we
recommend you ask for visa in a Peruvian embassy or consulate.
