Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit PE?

Q: How long can a Brazilian stay in Peru without a visa?

Peruvian law allows visa-free tourists up to 183 days per 12-month period, but the exact number is set by the immigration officer at entry. Since 2021 most travelers are granted up to 90 days.

Q: Can I enter Peru with my Brazilian ID card instead of a passport?

Yes. Under the Mercosur agreement, a valid Brazilian national identity card (less than 10 years old, in good condition) is accepted for entry into Peru.

Q: Is there any fee to enter Peru?

No. There is no visa fee or entry fee. The only possible charge is a small daily overstay fine if you exceed your authorized stay.

Q: What documents should I have ready at the border?

A valid passport or national ID, plus proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds. Officers may ask to see these.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

It is not required for entry, but it is strongly recommended if you plan to visit jungle or Amazon regions of Peru.

Brazilian ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for tourism in Peru. As a Mercosur citizen, a Brazilian can enter Peru visa-free for short stays and may even use a valid Brazilian national ID card instead of a passport. Brazil is a full member of Mercosur and Peru is an associated member, so Brazilian citizens enjoy freedom of movement and enter Peru visa-free for tourism. Peruvian law permits visa-free tourists a cumulative stay of up to 183 days per 12-month period, but Peru's immigration authority (Migraciones) decides the exact number of days at the border; in practice since 2021 most travelers are granted up to 90 days, extendable in some cases. Brazilians may present either a valid passport or a valid Brazilian national identity card (cedula de identidad) under the Mercosur regime; if using a passport it should be valid for at least six months. Travelers should be ready to show proof of onward or return travel, accommodation details, and sufficient funds. There is no tourist visa fee. There is no ETIAS/Schengen consideration, as Peru is in South America, not Europe.
