United Arab Emirates to Peru visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders may enter Peru visa-free as tourists for up to 90 calendar days in a 180-day period under the UAE-Peru ordinary-passport tourist visa-waiver agreement, in force from 1 November 2020. Business, work, study, or longer stays require the appropriate visa or authorization. United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holders may enter Peru visa-free as tourists for up to 90 calendar days in a 180-day period under the UAE-Peru ordinary-passport tourist visa-waiver agreement, which Peru's Foreign Ministry says entered into force on 1 November 2020. Peru's official visa table distinguishes purpose: UAE nationals do not need a tourist visa, but business travel requires a visa. Peru is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here. At entry, present a passport valid for at least six months to Migraciones, plus proof of onward or return travel and evidence of sufficient funds if requested. For international flights, Peru has eliminated routine passport stamping; tourists should use the TAM Virtual to verify the authorized stay and prove regular entry. No tourist visa, eVisa, or pre-registration fee applies. Overstays are fined at 0.1% of the UIT per day; for 2026, SUNAT lists the UIT as S/ 5,500, making the daily fine S/ 5.50.
