Notes
A visa is an endorsement or stamp placed by officials of Peru on a U.S. passport that allows the bearer to visit the country of Peru. Note: Wherever you see the words "photo(s) required" in this publication, it generally means that you will need to submit passport-size (2"x2") photographs.
PASSPORTS
Please note that new US passports issued to US citizens in Lima need new entry stamps from the Oficina de Migraciones. To obtain a new entry stamp, travelers need to bring their plane ticket, the new passport, and a copy of the police report, if stolen, or old passport, if renewed. Travelers should be aware that they cannot leave Peru until all immigration matters, including fines and overstays, have been put in order.
VISAS
If a visa is required, obtain it from the appropriate Peruvian consular representative before proceeding abroad. Allow sufficient time for processing your visa application, especially if you are applying by mail. Most Peruvian consular representatives are located in principal cities, and in many instances, a traveler may be required to obtain visas from the consular office in the area of his/her residence. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRAVELER TO OBTAIN VISAS, WHERE REQUIRED, FROM THE NEAREST CONSULATE. As soon as you receive your visa, check it to make sure no mistakes were made. For specific details, consult www.consuladoperu.com or American Citizens Service (Embassy of United States in Peru)
ADDITIONAL FEES
All international flights are subject to U.S. Immigration and U.S. Customs fees paid in advance as part of your ticket. In addition, Peru has departure fees that are sometimes collected at the time of ticket purchase or upon exiting the country.
