Argentina to Peru visa requirements
Argentine ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Peru for tourism. As fellow members of Mercosur and the South American regional integration framework, Argentines enter visa-free and may even use their DNI (national ID card) instead of a passport, receiving up to 90 days on arrival. Argentina and Peru both belong to Mercosur (Peru as an associated state) and to the broader South American freedom-of-movement framework, under which Argentine citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Peru for tourism and short visits. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. Argentines may enter using either a valid Argentine ordinary passport or a valid Argentine DNI (national identity card), as the DNI is recognized as a travel document across Mercosur and Andean Community countries. On arrival, immigration registers entry digitally through the Tarjeta Andina de Migracion (TAM/Andean Migration Card), which is now fully electronic. The standard authorized stay for tourism is up to 90 days; while Peruvian law permits up to 183 days per year, officers commonly grant 90 days and apply a 90-days-within-any-180-day-period practice. There is no entry fee. Travelers should carry proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds, as immigration officers may request these. Argentines also benefit from a Mercosur residence agreement allowing them to live and work in Peru, but that is a separate immigration process beyond tourist entry.
