Fees and processing time

Plan your budget and travel dates with the published fees and timing guidance.

Decision time

Peru's Ministry says to complete the consular visa process at least 15 calendar days before travel. This is a published lead time, not a guarantee of issuance by that date; interviews and extra requirements may take longer.

Entry conditions and exceptions

Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.

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.
