Peru

Land of the Incas and other pre-Colombian civilizations, Peru has more to offer than the already fascinating Machu Picchu. The mystic waters of Lake Titicaca, the mysteries of the Nazca lines, an incredibly rich biodiversity, the colonial cities of Lima, Cusco and Arequipa as well as world-renowned cuisine are the reasons why it is such a popular destination. Do not worry, Peru’s success is not unwarranted as it consistently comes up to every visitor’s expectations

Entry/exit requirements:

General formalities:

Your length of approved stay will be determined by border officials at the time of entry, and can range from 30 to 183 days. You will be fined in case you overstay.

Be sure your date and place of entry is officially documented by Immigration, whether you arrive at a port, airport or land border. Retain the record of your entry, as you will need it when you depart.

Make sure Immigration (Migraciones) records your entry, and then save the record for your exit. This is particularly important when entering through remote border crossings.

If you enter Peru overland from Ecuador, make sure your passport is stamped with a Peruvian entry stamp at the local immigration office.

If you enter Peru from Bolivia by bus or taxi, make sure your passport is stamped with a Peruvian entry stamp at the immigration office in Desaguadero or Copacabana (Puno region).

Immigration authorities may also not let you leave Peru without a valid exit stamp from the last country you visited.

Immigration authorities may also require evidence of return/onward travel.
