Peru grants visa-free entry for tourism to many countries, including the US, Canada, UK, EU states, Australia, Japan, and numerous Latin American and European nations. Visitors are typically issued a 90‑day permit (up to 183 days annually).

If you do require a visa (i.e. you're not from a visa-exempt country), you typically must provide:

• A passport with at least 6 months' validity and blank visa pages

• Completed visa application

• A passport-size photo

• Proof of onward/return travel
• Bank statements or proof of sufficient funds
  
  

Additional requirements vary by consulate; always check the specific consulate instructions.

Travel insurance is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. While insurance isn’t required for entry or visa applications, visitors are advised to carry travel medical coverage when in Peru.

Processing times vary, but most tourist visas processed through Peruvian embassies or consulates take around 5 to 10 business days, depending on your location. Always apply 1–2 months in advance to allow for any delays.
