Entry/Exit Requirements
"A valid passport is required to enter and depart Peru. Tourists
must also provide evidence of return or onward travel. U.S. citizens
may enter Peru for short-term tourist- or business-related visits
of up to 90 days; however, the actual period authorized is determined
by the Peruvian immigration officer at the time of entry into Peru.
After admission, travelers may apply to extend their visa for an
additional three months. Persons who remain beyond their period
of authorized stay without obtaining a visa extension or a residence
visa will have to pay a fine to depart Peru. Visitors for other
than tourist or short-term business visit purposes must obtain a
Peruvian visa in advance. Business workers (under contract) should
ascertain the tax and exit regulations that apply to the specific
visa they are granted. Peru does not require any immunizations for
entry, although it recommends vaccination against Yellow Fever.
An international flight airport fee, payable in U.S. or local currency
and assessed on a per-person basis, must be paid when departing
Peru. There are also separate airport taxes for domestic flights
charged at most domestic airports that must be paid before embarking.
U.S. citizens whose passports are lost or stolen in Peru must obtain
a new passport from the U.S. Embassy and present it, together with
a police report on the loss or theft, to the main immigration office
in downtown Lima, located at Prolongacion Espana 734, Brena, to
obtain permission to depart. An additional immigration office is
located within Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport international
departure terminal. For further information regarding entry requirements,
travelers should contact the Peruvian Embassy at 1700 Massachusetts
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036; telephone (202) 833-9860; web http://www.peruvianembassy.us.
