Details that can change your plans

The visa maximum is not your confirmed stay

Peru's Ministry says a tourist visa may allow up to 183 calendar days within the 12 months after issue. The migration authority sets the actual permitted period when it stamps your passport, so this general maximum does not confirm the stay for your passport. Follow the period granted at entry.
